I think it would be pretty cool to have your own challenge coins created. If you are not familiar with a challenge coin, it's a small coin or medallion that is made for various organizations bearing the insignia or emblem and is given to its members to carry. Usually the coins are seen in the military, but many organizations have them made. Normally the companies that make these charge for a die mold and then they charge per coin made. The pricing varies depending upon what company you use, but its a good promotional tool as well. So it maybe another way to promote your business, it something to look into if you want another unique idea.

Well there is only 3 more shopping days until Christmas and if you are still looking for a gift or gifts how about giving some dakine backpacks. Yes I know you are saying a backpack? But I think everyone could use a backpack for something. Backpacks have many uses and not just for school. You can carry baby stuff in one, computers, paperwork, use it for travel and the list goes on. It's a lot easier to manage, because you put on your back and go. They have a lot of cute styles and are very affordable. One website has a lot of Dakine Backpacks on sale and they are offering free 2 day shipping on orders over $50. The website is called Rocky Mountain Trail. I use a backpack a lot and I would be happy if someone gave me one as a present. By the way there are a lot of companies that make backpacks Dakine just happens to be one them.

I have been a Buzzagent for a number of years now, and I have received some good and not so good products over the years to try. Well the latest product my son's got to review it and it was a hit. They received a Tonka XT Ricochet Tricksters R/C. For those of you who are not familiar with this toy car you can preform 3 different pre-programmed stunts. This can be done via remote control. Also depending upon which trickster you have determines the kind of stunts you can do. The car flips over and on the other side you will find another car, my son thought that was really cool. And he played with it for a very long time, then my youngest who is 3 took a turn playing with it. The only thing they did not like was the fact that they had to wait for it to recharge. The toy retails for $24.99 and requires five AA batteries for the controller (not included). It also requires 20-30 minute charge for each 15-30 minutes of use. You can buy them at Walmart, Target, Toys "R" Us and Kmart. My son told me he knows what he his putting on Christmas list, so I see more these in our future.

I was talking about life insurance with a family member, when one of the kids asked what is life insurance? I had to think about it for a minute because I wanted to make sure I explained in a way a kid would understand. After I explained it I paused for a second, because there somethings you think you would not discuss with a child. But now a days you need to practically discuss everything with children. They grow fast and they learn so many things from the T.V, music, Internet and friends that you have to make sure you stay on your toes. This conversation made me remember the T.V show I saw where the teenage son killed his parents for the insurance money. Actually when you think about it a lot of people get killed for insurance money. It is so sad that people can go that low for money, take another life just because they are greedy.

Black and Mild By Middleton cigars, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. They have a variety of flavors and sizes, I feel they are less harsh then other cigars I have tried. I have seen black & mild cigars in packs of 5 and 50. Depending upon where you buy them from the prices vary, but if you search enough you can get them at a discount. If you are a cigar smoker, you may enjoy smoking these since they are very mild in my opinion. Try the regular ones first before you get into the flavored ones.

Lately I have been seeing a lot of people building metal buildings and using it as a storage building or running a business out of it. I heard they were about the same price or may cost a little more then a wood building. They come in all sizes and I heard all colors as well. Where I live there are a lot of people who have storage building some even have multiples and the reason is that many if not all of houses around here do not have a basement. And a lot of houses also lack an attic, So that makes having storage space an issue. To combat that issue people buy these buildings and use them for storage. I also heard that some people make apartments out of them and rent them out as well. That is a pretty cool idea if you can do it in your area, I guess it depends on the zoning.
