What organization was founded in 1910 to help educate and strengthen our young men? Why that would be the Boy Scouts of America, of course!
The BSA helps our young boys grow into trustworthy, smart, kind, courteous men (which we can all agree is more important now than ever).
How can you celebrate the BSA today?
With many businesses and restaurants temporarily (or permanently) closed, I have spent much of my spare time going outdoors with my family. We go on hikes and walks whenever we have the chance. Today is Play Outside Day, so take this as a sign to get out there and enjoy some fresh air. Take a deep breath and let your worries float away.
(And I would suggest taking one of these promotional Maglights with you in case it gets dark while you’re out!)
Across the U.S. and Canada today, people will be eagerly watching the news to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. It’s a funny superstition, but one that has persisted since the mid-19th century.
What’s your vote?
Will he see his shadow, foreshadowing 6 more weeks of winter?
Or will he not see his shadow, bringing on the spring season?
(If he doesn’t see his shadow, that means it’s a cloudy day and will most likely need one of these engraved flashlights) –>
It’s been a rough year, to say the least. Thank goodness it is almost over.
Between the global COVID-19 pandemic, social justice protests, and the presidential election, we all deserve for 2021 to start off on a better foot.
What better (and funny) way to end the year than by getting a Maglite engraved with “Good Riddance 2020” for all of your employees and favorite customers?
Happy New Year!
Today is, quite literally, a day to give back. We shouldn’t need a national holiday to remind us to show appreciation and gratitude- it should be a year-round thing, right?
Nonetheless, today is the National Day of Giving, aka #GivingTuesday. It is a day to give your time, items, or money to charities throughout the world.
What would you have your Maglite engraved with?
With a rise in COVID-19 cases across the nation, we are all yearning for something to do (other than being cooped up in our houses!). Today is as good a day as ever to just go outside and enjoy the beauty of nature- and take your mind off the horrors of 2020.
Here are our must-have items to celebrate Take A Hike Day:
Police officers are getting a lot of attention in the media in recent months. But you know who usually falls by the wayside? Security officers. Today is Security Officer Appreciation Week- a week for these people to shine.
How can we thank them this week?
Tell him (or her):
because your employees might get jealous.
Please post your other suggestions here. I’d be glad to see them.
When business owners think about giving a Maglite engraved with their logo to their employees, here are their top questions:
Most metal and smooth wood and synthetic material can be laser engraved. And some smooth wood and synthetic material can then be color-filled with a paint-like product. But when it comes to putting a color-fill on metal, you’re dreaming in the last century. It was possible to laser engrave and color fill metal at that time, but everyone quit doing it because of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Zippo was a leading company that used that process of color imprinting. It was a good way of imprinting, because the color couldn’t scratch off. It was in the debossed part of the design.
So, back to 2019, you can’t get a metal object like a Maglite engraved and color-filled. But that’s not a big problem, since most Maglites are made of anodized aluminum. The color of the aluminum shows through the laser engraving once the laser removes the surface layer of color. The Maglite then shows your logo as being whitish. Even if you order a gray colored Maglite, the engraving isn’t very noticeable, but the look is fashionable.
Another way of getting MagLites® with your Full Color Imprint is “full-color surface printing”. This technique was just developed in the last 10 years. Every printing company has its own name for this process. “Color Rich”, “Spectra Color”, and “ColorVast” are some of the trade names.
