Squeeze a stress ball 20 times a day and you're putting it through 7,300 compressions a year (20 squeezes × 365 days = 7,300). That's a serious workout for a lump of polyurethane foam the size of a mandarin. It's...
Ask any marketing manager who's worked a trade show booth and they'll admit it quietly: most of the business cards collected over three days end up in the bin before the following Friday. Some industry estimates put the toss rate...

Vitreous enamel is fired onto steel at around 800 degrees Celsius. That's roughly three times hotter than a household oven flat out, and it's why a properly made enamel mug can survive being dropped on granite, boiled over a campfire...
This week's batch has a theme, even if we didn't plan it that way. Every one of these picks is the kind of thing people quietly keep for themselves. The pen that never leaves their hand. The lunchbox that comes...
The repositionable adhesive inside every decent sticky note was discovered by accident in 1968, and it sat in a lab drawer for years because nobody could work out what a glue that refuses to stick permanently was actually for. Turns...
A standard golf umbrella opens out to a canopy roughly 1.3 metres across. That's more than a square metre of fabric, which makes it one of the biggest printable surfaces of any promotional product going. For comparison, a branded pen...
