I hope you all don't mind another new product post, but with nearly 2 feet of wet snow outside and the store being closed yesterday, we have to get excited about something! We found these cool lunch bags at the show in Atlanta, from the same booth where we got the Bobble filter water bottles.
The sides of the Packit cooler bags are filled with their patented eco-gel, which is free of lead and PVC, as well as being totally non-toxic.
Just put the folded Packit in the freezer overnight and fill in the morning with your lunch, baby bottles, meal for airplane travel, or whatever. Packit keeps your food cold for up to 10 hours, and you won't have to worry about drippy bags of ice cubes or toxic blue gel leaking onto your favorite snacks! This has happened at least once in my daughter's lunch bag and it was a gross cleanup, with blobby gel balls all over everything. I've resorted to Scotch taping the corners of the gel packs we use, but that's a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
Packit also makes a black wine cooler with swanky leather trim. I think this idea is the perfect way to tote wine or champagne to your picnic or party!

We might have some time next week to pop from Philadelphia up to the New York International Gift Show for a day, although we're pretty tired from 5 days at the AmericasMart in Atlanta! We did find some fantastic things for spring and shore though, so look for some preview posts about the new lines as our new purchases come in!
Here's a preview of the cool new Bobble water bottles that filter as you drink. I actually got one for Christmas and LOVED it for our family vacation to Hawaii and filtering gross airport water. Magenta is here (click photo to see in our store), and Aqua, Green, Black, and Sapphire are coming soon, as well as kiddie color combinations: 
Anyway, my question for you is...what is the hot new thing that we should be selling? Or your favorite brand that we don't offer? Leave a message with the gift or accessory or cool item that you think we should check out.
If Flag Lady Gifts starts carrying that line of goods, we'll give you (and maybe a few friends!) a special discount for your first purchase of that line from us. Please leave a website for the brand so we can check it out and see if it's a good fit for us!
