It's Beginning to Look at Lot Like ... Halloween!


Every October I start the month off by lugging down all my Halloween storage containers from the garage attic. And every year, the kids act like it’s Christmas – the oohhhs and aahhhs of long forgotten dress up clothes, scary bat and spider decorations and inevitably the missed piece of leftover candy that someone always wants to eat!  
What I found interesting was as I rummaged through all our Halloween storage boxes, I had saved many items from last year to be reused .. and many of them promotional products! Wouldn't those businesses love to know they are advertising to me again ... a year later. We have the popular plastic handled candy buckets from McDonalds (please don't think I am a bad mom), the orange flashlights from our local pizza place (it would seem we eat out a lot), the flashing safety necklaces from the fire department and of course many plastic bags for trick-or-treating with imprinted store names on them. It goes to show that promotional products really do stand the test of time!
