Newcomer is a<br />
timely help for<br />
detecting fever<br />
With the Swine Flu epidemic sweeping the nation,<br />
B&H Colour Change’s new brandable Cold<br />
and Flu Symptom Pack is a timely newcomer,<br />
helping in the quick detection of a fever.<br />
The pack contains of a reusable liquid crystal<br />
forehead thermometer together with a brandable<br />
leaflet describing the different symptoms and<br />
treatments for colds and flu.<br />
The thermometer strip measures the body’s<br />
core temperature by taking the temperature at the<br />
forehead – a safe, non-invasive and trouble-free<br />
way to take an adult’s or infant’s temperature in<br />
just 20 seconds.<br />
A fever can be quickly and accurately detected<br />
with minimal discomfort and distress.<br />
B&H’s marketing manager<br />
Gilly Beaumont said: “Our liquid crystal forehead<br />
thermometers are used regularly for healthcare<br />
campaigns worldwide, including the recent<br />
SARS epidemic.<br />
“In light of the growing Swine Flu Epidemic,<br />
this is an extremely useful item to have within the<br />
home or work environment to aid in the detection<br />
of a fever.<br />
“The thermometer can be used again and again<br />
and is particularly handy to have when travelling.”<br />

Carabiner pen that will<br />
take you to new heights<br />
For those looking to literally<br />
scale the heights, Carole Group’s<br />
popular Carabiner Ball Pen could<br />
just be the perfect addition for<br />
anyone wanting to write about<br />
their achievements.<br />
The pen, taken from the group’s<br />
Pencyclopaedia range, is available<br />
in five – presumably Carole don’t<br />
recommend any hanging about<br />
in placing an order (that’s enough<br />
climbing puns – Ed)<br />
Golf and barbecues may not<br />
seem the most obvious partners<br />
for a new promotional gift idea, but<br />
Carole has cleverly combined the<br />
two themes in its new seven-piece<br />
BBQ Caddy.<br />
It’s taken from the “Topico”<br />
range and the bag can even be<br />
printed, going a fairway (that’s<br />
really is enough now – Ed).<br />
Finally a current bestseller that<br />
has burst on the scene (you’re<br />
fired – Ed) is Carole’s four-piece<br />
bubbles set, complete with patience<br />
game on the lid.<br />

Sling is just the thing<br />
for long, hot summer<br />
With Met Office officials predicting a long,<br />
hot summer (and yes, we realise that we at<br />
<strong>PPD</strong> have just put the jinx on just by mentioning<br />
the fact!), Clear Prospects believes<br />
it has the ideal product to help festival-goers<br />
and beach dwellers to survive the impending<br />
heatwave.<br />
The company’s new “water bottle sling” offers<br />
a simple solution to store and carry drinks bottles<br />
with ease – ideal for ensuring that everyone has<br />
access to a drink to help avoid dehydration when<br />
temperatures start climbing.<br />
Clear Prospects recently conducted an independent<br />
survey of college and university students in<br />
Manchester, in which the practicality of the bottle<br />
slings received an enthusiastic response.<br />
Manchester Metropolitan University student<br />
Paul Hadfield said: “This is an excellent idea, really<br />
simple and really handy.<br />
“It can be a nightmare trying to dance whilst<br />
keeping hold of a bottle at the same time – and it’s<br />
not as if you can easily fit a bottle into you pocket,<br />
so more often than not it ends up getting lost or<br />
dropped on the floor.”<br />
Another student, Jodie Hodgkinson, who attends<br />
Trafford College and will be travelling to this<br />
years’ Glastonbury Festival, said: “When it’s hot everyone<br />
is always very thirsty, so often we end up<br />
carrying big, bulky bags with us to keep the drinks<br />
in – this is far from ideal.<br />
“The festival organisers and people who sell<br />
bottled water should give these out to everyone<br />
for free! They would be really popular and I think<br />
they could quickly become this summer’s next<br />
‘must have’ fashion accessory.”<br />
In line with the rest of Clear Prospects’ fabricbased<br />
products, the water bottle sling is Britishmade<br />
and available in a range of sustainable fabrics.<br />
The slings are made to order, in any shape, size<br />
and colour and can therefore be made to fit any<br />
can or bottle size.<br />
