Did you know that December 14th is Monkey Day?
What, you don’t have that marked in red on your calendar?
Okay, we will let that one slide. But if you had a certain craving for bananas this morning, felt like being a little silly and maybe swinging from vines, you can blame Monkey Day. This funny holiday was started in 2000 by students in Michigan and has stuck ever since. Think I am bananas now? Hallmark even makes cards for Monkey Day and the 2005 King Kong movie was released on November 14th. So what does this mean for you? Well, it gives you an excuse to browse our selection of monkey-themed promotional goods. Our favorite monkey products are the smiling wooden monkey ballpoint pen, the monkey trouble wall calendar and, of course, the glow-in-the dark flying screech monkey. Perfect for scaring your coworkers when the office is just a little too quiet for comfort.
And if you are feeling especially charitable today, donate to Chimps, Inc., a great cause that helps chimps around the world.

If you could sum up your company in just one shape, what would it be?
For some people, this is an easy task. Say, for example, a teacher. What represents a teacher more than the quintessential apple? Of course, that same apple could be used for a doctor (you know the old adage), a nutritionist or a farmer. With just one image we have linked four different professions. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words; can one shape connect you to one thousand new customers?
