Latest Discovery: Win Colorful Kitchen Accoutrements

The beginning of the new year brings us to thoughts of new goals and self improvement.

Personally, I’m not sure what happened to the friendship I had with my bathroom scale, but it seems to have taken a strong dislike to meeting with me after all the holiday parties, meals and desserts I’ve enjoyed. In an effort to re-kindle that friendship, balance must be restored.

With the fresh start comes a renewed interest in healthy lifestyle and eating habits. I have to make some changes that I can stick with. I'm sure that many of your employees are in the same boat.

Why not help them achieve their new year's nutrition goals with a branded gift they can use in the kitchen?

Tradeshow season and new client contacts are perfect opportunities to connect your brand message to the New Year and a health and wellness focus. Use a promotional product that ties your brand to wellness and healthy meal choices. Send the message that you wish them well!

A brightly colored veggie brush and cutting board will make fresh food prep more appealing and easier. I might feel like Rachel Ray as I get my apples and pears washed, cut and ready for breakfast and my veggies scrubbed, chopped and packed for lunch. 

Pair a food-related gift with a message that helps remind people that little things can make a big difference for better nutrition choices. 

Here are some ideas and products to match:

• Don't get take-out, take a lunch in a bright-colored lunch tote
• Cut up fresh veggies and put into a week's worth of portion containers
• Use awareness bands on drinkware to track water consumption
• Make healthy recipes at home
• Don't get take-out, take a lunch in a bright-colored lunch tote
• Cut up fresh veggies and put into a week's worth of portion containers
• Use awareness bands on drinkware to track water consumption
• Make healthy recipes at home - a recipe box will help keep them organized and handy

Choose one or several ideas as a starting point to making better health a 2013 goal for the people your brand depends on.
