You do not have to be Italian to love and eat Italian Food.
Pasta and spaghetti are my 2 favorite things.
Send someone, a client, friend, family member the gift of food.
They say the way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach.
Send them all at once or a few items at a time.
Maybe you want to do a virtual cooking call where you all cook together virtually, (or in person) and them sit down with a nice glass of wine and share the experience.
Life is all about experiences.

We have done very well with the Basecamp Zion Mug, 15 oz, vacuum insulated and double walled.
Those looking for a camp style mug love this mug and always come back for more.
Reasonably priced, giving back to the Warrior Project while keeping your drink hot and cold for hours gives this mug a special meaning.
What more can I say?

| How Often Should You Replace Your High Visibility Clothing? Safety gear comes in different shapes and sizes, from hard hats and gloves to respirators and eye protection. Another common piece of safety gear is high-visibility clothing. High visibility (hi-vis) clothing is an essential form of personal protective equipment (PPE) worn to mitigate risks at work. Hi-vis clothing goes beyond protecting from various injuries – it can be life-saving. However, just like all other PPE, high visibility clothing doesn’t last forever and will require replacements after a certain period.  High Visibility Clothing High visibility clothing plays a critical role in several industries, including construction sites and roadside maintenance jobs. It serves as a form of protective gear, ensuring other individuals can clearly see each particular individual on a job site.  Colorful fluorescent components combined with unique pigments create a hue brighter than natural colors. The pigment reflects invisible ultraviolet light from the sun, creating a bright visible light. Additionally, light streaming from vehicle headlights bounces off reflective strips, ensuring the individual is safely visible. High visibility clothing allows individuals to work safely regardless of the time of day, whether it is day, dusk, or dark.  How Often Should You Replace Your High Visibility Clothing? Given the critical purpose of high visibility clothing, it’s equally as important to replace it as it is to wear it. Generally, with standard usage, high visibility clothing begins to wear out within four to six months. However, hi-vis clothing that is used extensively may demand replacement sooner than four to six months. Additionally, individuals who work in extreme or hazardous conditions may need to replace it more frequently.  Ultimately, the lifespan of high visibility clothing falls to care practices and frequency of use. Before each wash, check for signs of general wear and tear, verifying that the clothing still meets visibility standards. You need to routinely check for the following:  Fading: Make sure the fluorescent nature of the fabric has not become dull or discolored  Damage: Ensure there is no significant damage to the reflective strips or overall item  Visibility: If it is no longer visible from a distance, you need to replace it  Cleanliness: If the fabric is excessively dirty, to the point that cleaning will not restore its original state  Rips or tears: If the garment has bad tears or fraying  Comfort: If the garment is no longer comfortable, it may be best to replace it  If your safety gear no longer meets the above expectations, it’s time to replace it. It’s imperative that you feel safe, secure, and generally confident in your gear. If you have doubts about the effectiveness of your gear for any reason, it’s time for a change. It’s better to be safe than sorry.  Keeping Your Hi-Vis Clothes In Better Condition While hi-vis clothing will generally require replacements within four to six months, proper care will help prolong its lifespan. The best ways to properly care for hi-vis clothing include the following:  Store clothing out of direct sunlight: Try to avoid storing high visibility clothing in direct sunlight, as the light will cause the colors to fade quicker, thus reducing the overall effectiveness of the garment.  Maintain cleanliness: While many job sites that require hi-vis clothing are far from sparkling clean, it’s essential to attempt to remove the day’s grime from clothing after the fact. Whether this means tossing it into the washer (if the label confirms that is okay) or wiping down the garment to remove dirt, it helps.  Refrain from compacting clothing: Avoid smooshing your clothing into tiny spaces. Doing so puts additional stress on the fabric’s fibers, causing them to break down faster.  Wipe down between washes: Building off the previous tip to keep the garment clean: wipe it down between full washes if you cannot wash the item. This will help extend the garment’s lifespan.  Check the label: Always check the label on your hi-vis clothing. Not all manufacturers develop hi-vis clothing suitable for a quick machine wash, so remember to check the label before cleaning it. The label on some items will give a specific number of washes that the item can withstand before the reflective strip is rendered ineffective.  Can I Put My High Visibility Clothing In The Laundry? While some hi-vis garments may be machine wash safe, washing machines may not be suitable as a washing method for all high-visibility clothes. Check the care instructions to determine whether you can put your high visibility clothing in the laundry. Generally, the care label on the garment itself will outline specific washing instructions, such as whether the item can be machine washed, dried, dry cleaned, or bleached. It is imperative to follow these instructions, as failing to do so could significantly high-visibility diminish the lifespan and performance of your clothing.  I hope this has helped to answer any and all questions you may have. |

In my last post I reminded you about how we love to partner with companies that supply us with products that give back. I also mentioned how Basecamp is one of those companies with products that give back to the Wounded Warrior Project.
It is important to make sure that we drink enough water every day and stay hydrated whether working at a desk, in the gym or hiking in the mountains.
Bottles that come with a wide mouth, are insulated and come with a handle are one of my favorite things.
Contents both hot and cold stay warmer and colder for a long time when the bottle is insulated.
The 20 oz. bottle has similar characteristics in a smaller size for easy handling.
Brand them with a full color logo for easy visibility.

Each Basecamp® item sold, a portion of proceeds will be donated to the the Wounded Warrior Project®, whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors.
I hope you are all aware by now that our passion is helping companies brand with sustainable products and products that give back.
I am often asked how do we do this. The answer is that we partner with suppliers that believe in the same values we do by supplying products that give back like Basecamp®
Large jugs are popular encouraging all to drink more water. One way to help people accomplish this goal is to supply them with drinkware like this half gallon water Jug, 64 oz. This jug is copper lined, powder coated, vacuum insulated with a metal handle with pad for easy carrying.
You cannot get better than this.
I just ordered a sample for myself.
