Happy-Play Blog for June

I cannot believe it is June already – the weather has not been too bad, and
I managed to get away for a few days by the sea.    It was great – lots of
people on the beach enjoying the sun, and I could not help but notice, as
one nearly which nearly knocked my eye out, that Frisbees seem to be
popular.    Great if you are on a deserted beach, but when it is crowded
with families enjoying themselves, it is a bit of a nuisance to have one
landing on your picnic, or disturbing your nap.

A far better idea is the foldable Frisbee featured in my Product of the
Month.    Great for flinging about, and less likely to cause a problem if it
inadvertently scores a direct hit onto or into someone who is just enjoying
a relaxing time in the sun.      Have a look and see what I mean.

After a lean few months of activity on the marketing and promotional side,
things are now beginning to move  forwards again, and the famous saying
‘green shoots are appearing’ seems to be

Lots of enquiries for amongst other items – Keyrings, Pens, Bottle Openers,
and kiddies giveaways as well as the usual popular summer items.    People
also starting to think forward to Halloween.      Personalised sweets are
also a popular enquiry.    A really good idea for Summer I have come across
is a mini paintball gun and target.   Great fun if you have a reasonably
large garden and want to liven up an otherwise boring BBQ!

Soon be July and the end of term exams and school breaking up for a good
long holiday.

Some good opportunities arising to provide promotional giveaways for
children, branded with your logo.   Conventional items such as Beach Balls,
Baseball Caps, and T-shirts to name but a few.   In particular I like the
idea of the baseball caps with the flap of material to protect the
children’s vulnerable neck area.     Always a very popular giveaway is the
t-shirt, you can never have too many.

Be back soon with more news – one little snip of personal news – my daughter
and her horse are up for selection for the England International Dressage
team for the South West.   She was selected last year when the event was
held in Bristol, and this year a long trek if selected as it is to be held
in Scotland.   She is off to a training camp in August for final training
and possible selection.   Keep your fingers crossed!
