(Carbs are the way to our hearts.) Choose pre-themed bakery boxes or build your own box choosing from over 50+ artisanal bake-from-frozen breads, pastas, and pastries. They also have protein waffles and gluten free items to reach a broad range of dietary needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_CordBrick.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_CordBrick.png\" alt=\"CordBrick\" class=\"wp-image-26614\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CordBrick LLC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SAGE #53586<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/cordbrick.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOopCgQCCh3cTV27ndJAT1j0ec_uXtImrymEPdQ2xUcbMlmELJ1ev\">CordBrick<\/a> booth, we met CordBrick Nick doing demos of their weighted silicone cable organizers. The premise behind the product is that it solves a problem almost everybody experiences: fallen and tangled cords. These silicone bricks are high-quality, functional, and take up minimal space while keeping cords organized and accessible. Some glow in the dark, too. These nifty contraptions also double as phone stands and pen holders. Add a logo to the brick to make it a useful, helpful, potentially glow-in-the-dark promo item your customers don\u2019t yet know they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3_FattyPack.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3_FattyPack.png\" alt=\"FattyPack\" class=\"wp-image-26615\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FattyPack LLC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SAGE #53602<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve heard of fanny packs. These are totally different. Whereas a fanny pack was designed to be a trunk for your backside, <a href=\"https:\/\/fattypack.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOopObFxcbHf0ZcsXa02syBdugVCg2rnurzRo3X79UlRmRS-pMMAj\">FattyPacks<\/a> are much smaller and provide a space for carrying small items when you don\u2019t have secure pockets (ahem, women\u2019s wear makers). Marketed as a fanny pack for your hat, the small, versatile, foldable pouch attaches to sports bras, hats, leashes, etc. It\u2019s not meant to replace a wallet, but it\u2019s a great way to carry a little cash, your bike\/house key, medication, etc. when you don\u2019t want to carry a bag. Essentially, it\u2019s a portable pocket just waiting to promote the right brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4_FireNPine.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4_FireNPine.png\" alt=\"Fire and Pine\" class=\"wp-image-26616\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire &amp; Pine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SAGE #53609<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcomer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireandpine.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOoriFHOiIJejqvx00a7JjLpwxW490yi6SvEnd8z8T0AkZffTINv4\">Fire &amp; Pine<\/a> offers custom-engraved cutting boards and maps.

The custom engravers will also do candles, magnets, ornaments, patents, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5_Seeded-Promotions.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5_Seeded-Promotions.png\" alt=\"Seeded Promotions\" class=\"wp-image-26617\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeded Promotions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SAGE #53614<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for eco-conscious products, look to <a href=\"https:\/\/seededpromotions.com\/\">Seeded Promotions<\/a>.
