What's Up: January!

Happy New Year! We are back in the office and looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store for us. We had such a busy December, that we had to skip our monthly "What's Up" meeting. But don't worry, we made sure to put it on the calendar this month. Without further ado, we present to you our January 2012 items:

Cyndi picked this up from Costco. In the club store environment, it really stood out on the shelf.
We all loved the matte finish, product photography and clean design.


Jason found these similar products on shelf at the grocery store. One geared
toward children, and the other more sophisticated package targets the adult
market. We're working on a similar project, so this was a great find!
Ed found these "liquid water enhancers" intriguing. We love the shape of the container and the logo!
What we love even more is that you can put 1/2 teaspoon of MiO Energy into eight ounces of
water to make 60 milligrams caffeine, which is 20 less milligrams than a Red Bull. Impressive!
We are usually drawn to "big" things, but look at how CUTE this gift card box
is that Jason received. The mini shoe box has a shelf insert to hold the gift card and
a sticker on the end to give the recipient/gift info. So clever and very well done!
Barbara brought in these drinks, they were merchandised well in store. We all agreed that they
look like they are from an international market, but they are produced right here in California!
Marit is in the market for new glasses, so she shared this "home try-on kit" from Warby Parker.
We love the idea behind this and not to mention, we had fun trying on the glasses.
Stay tuned for February's "What's Up!" I'm sure it will be filled with hearts and chocolate.
