A show floor that size with that many suppliers in one place, it was a treasure hunt from the get-go. This is one instance where what happened in Vegas was too good to stay in Vegas. Not everybody got to be there (such a shame), so we\u2019re sharing the highlights (our perspective) here and inviting you to live vicariously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Made-to-Order Screen Printing Meets Vintage Diner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/01-613-Diner.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26506\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to stand out at any trade show is to do something unique. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.613originals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">613 Originals<\/a> did just that with their booth. To market their made-to-order, custom screen-printing services, they set the booth up like a diner, complete with a hostess stand, branded food trays, and menus. Shirts were packaged in to-go boxes and sealed with a direct-to-film (DTF) sticker printed right in front of you. 10\/10 for creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Golf Tally Tumbler<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/02-Ball-Pro.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26507\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ball Pro knocked it out of the park\u2026 er, down the fairway and onto the green\u2026 with this <a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=26011914440757378512235064&amp;P=568626124\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tumbler<\/a> that doubles as a score card. Forget the tiny pencils that are impossible to keep up with and score cards that smudge in sweaty pockets. This tumbler helps you keep track of fairways, greens, strokes, and yes, even how many balls you\u2019ve lost. The tumbler is built with rotating rings that lock into place to track your score up to 129. Shoot higher than that and you should probably just focus on the drink inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Notebook Brand that Truly Understands Their Target Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/03-Denik.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26508\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/denik.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Denik sells notebooks<\/a>. Not your grandma\u2019s spiral bound notebooks. These are notebooks with artist-made, beautifully embroidered covers that exhibit class, taste, and uniqueness. Each notebook sold helps to build schools and support artists. But the true show of the brand\u2019s understanding of their target market was their booth setup. If there\u2019s one thing someone who loves a good journal and art can get excited about, it\u2019s a bookstore. That\u2019s how Denik displayed the journals. We didn\u2019t see anybody else with journals this unique or a setup this appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Modern-Day Picnic Basket<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1002\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/04-RovR.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26509\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picnic baskets are quaint, but they aren\u2019t exactly practical for keeping items chilled en route to a picturesque locale. Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=260119145236273209452191729&amp;P=757769817\">RovR KeepR Cool<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=260119145236273209452191729&amp;P=757769817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=260119145236273209452191729&amp;P=757769817\">r Caddy.<\/a> Dividers help you organize food or drinks while the interior ice bucket nestles in the center and keeps ice for up to 48 hours. Perhaps the best-selling point of all, the entire cooler can double as a cocktail caddy or mini bar, gaining appeal from an even broader audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How \u2018Bout a Cuppa?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-Gildan.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26510\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the purpose of an exhibit booth is to draw attention in a crowded space, then Gildan\u2019s strategy of free coffee was a bullseye. At an event known for long lines at the coffee shop, this apparel brand took things into their own hands to introduce Expo attendees to their attire. If you caffeinate them, they will come. Once you arrived, you could watch the live shirt pressing while your drink was being made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Portable Spa on the Go<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06-Therabody.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26511\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s 20,000 steps in a day or seemingly endless Zoom meetings, there\u2019s something that feels extra thoughtful about a branded gift that provides self-care. The <a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=260119150511618161116955081&amp;P=367447932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Therabody Theragun Relief<\/a> provides relief from daily aches, pains, tension, and stiffness. We can attest to it being effective. You know, from a product research standpoint and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Custom Engraved Chocolate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"808\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/07-Totally-Chocolate.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26502\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Edible promo will always have a spot on the list. Chocolate will always have a place on the list. <a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=260119151008146153568878070&amp;P=942119508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Custom engraved chocolate<\/a> at a promotional products expo seems very self-explanatory. Some decisions require careful thought and consideration. This is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Portable Gaming Meets Vintage Arcade<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/08-Twintech.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26503\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Vintage stuff is hot! Especially when it\u2019s modernized and miniature and can be branded with your logo. These <a href=\"https:\/\/sage-workplace.com\/sageweb.dll\/SWProdDetail?ST=260119151234245142120692008&amp;P=518078515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mini Joystick Players<\/a> actually work and don\u2019t feel like they came out of a vending machine. Would be great for gamers, an 80s-themed event, or just to add a sense of play to the office desk. Pac-Man was catching \u2018em all before Pokemon was even born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Compartmentalized Lunch Box for Grown Ups<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/09-Lunch-Box.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26504\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids aren\u2019t the only people who don\u2019t want their foods touching. These colorful Nayad Ellis ceramic lunch boxes with built-in separators are microwavable, making them perfect for adults who want a hot lunch without having to go out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hybrid Water Bottle: Mist &amp; Hydration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/10-GoMist.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26505\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We love anything that\u2019s multifunctional.

That\u2019s hydration inside and out to keep users cool at sporting events, on long hikes, or at the park with the kids. It\u2019s fancier than a spray bottle and the lid fits many other brands\u2019 mouths, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you see something we missed?
