TissueKups: Tissues for Your Car

Guest Blogger: Jennifer Forman, Minimus.biz Director of Purchasing

First, we brought you the EZcarry, an amazing item we got direct from the inventor-manufacturer. Now, we've found another amazing item direct from the source. I am really excited by this new product... They are called TissueKups. For all of you saying to yourselves "what are TissueKups?” Well, you’ll never guess. It is a cup, designed to fit in your car’s cup holder, and it is filled with tissues that pop up.

How many times have you been in the car, and "oops!" you spill that drink, or that burger starts dripping. Or, on your way to a first date you realize that you haven’t blended your makeup all that well or have lipstick on your teeth. No worries. Just grab a tissue (no need to go fishing to the bottom of your purse for that crumbled up lint filled paper that resembles a tissue). Or, what if you've just have some morning allergies on the way to work.

Now you don’t have to worry about driving off into a ditch trying to retrieve that tissue box lost under your car seat. Check out the TissueKups!

(TissueKups and EZcarry distribution opportunities available... contact MajorAccounts@minimus.biz for details.)

NEW ITEMS!

I have been a little slow in posting some of the new items we've added to our site in the past couple of weeks (I'm trying not to fill the blog up with announcements of new products), so I'll try and get most of them in some posts below. We've got some exciting new products in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back. You can always go to our New Products aisle on the site if you want to keep tabs on new additions. I promise I'll post some coupon codes on here soon.

Trial Size Sunlight Dishwashing Detergent

One of the items that has been requested a lot by our customers is a travel size liquid dishwashing detergent. Here it is... trial size Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid.

Olive Oil Packet

We got a few requests for olive oil in a condiment packet. This was a tough request to fill, but we eventually found it. Announcing... LaSpagnola Olive Oil.

Nail Polish Remover Pad

We got a bunch of requests for this, and it's now in stock... a travel size nail polish remover.

True Lemon Crystal Flavoring

Have you ever been out to a restaurant and the water tastes like your swimming pool? Do you wonder whether it is a conspiracy where the restaurant has purposely tweaked the water to force you to buy some iced tea, lemonade, or a soda? Or are you one of those people that always MUST have a lemon with your water to add some kind of flavor to it? If so, we've found the product for you... True Lemon Crystal Flavoring. It is basically like a little sugar packet that you can carry in a wallet or purse and tear it open and flavor your water glass wherever you may be. I just used one at a restaurant the other day and it was pretty good. It is definitely a handy little item to always have on you (and it made for an interesting conversation piece).

Musselman's Apple Butter

Have you ever tried apple butter? Be careful... it can be addictive. If you are already a fan, or want to try some out, we have a new product in Musselman's Apple Butter that is worth sampling.

Squeezers and Other New Condiment Packets

We just added a new line of Squeezers products. These are great little packets of peanut butter, jelly, cheddar cheese sauce, and jalapeno cheese sauce. They are a lot more portable and less prone to busting open than the little buckets. Other condiment packets we've recently added include Eastern Sun Hot Mustard (their other two sauces, the Plum sauce and the Sweet & Sour, are great so we had to add their mustard), Sue Bee Clover Honey, and Table Vinegar.

Heinz Mini Bottles of Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, and A1

We've received a lot of requests for the mini glass bottles of Heinz Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, and A1. They're finally here.

Travel Size Children's Toothpaste

I just mentioned the travel size toothbrush, but another item to go along with it is OraLine children's toothpaste. We've been getting a lot of requests for it, so we recently introduced it. An interesting fact about this bubble-gum flavored ADA-approved toothpaste is that it is manufactured at a company whose employees are made up of developmentally disabled individuals. So not only are you getting a great toothpaste for your kids, you are also helping out a great company.

Travel Size Toothbrush

Would you believe that it took us this long to finally offer a travel size toothbrush? We have thousands of products waiting in the wings that we're slowly adding to the store/site, but this one was a must have to get out to you sooner rather than later.

Travel Size Disinfectant

Thanks to the input of our customers, including the poll located towards the bottom of the right column in this blog, we've just introduced a travel size spray disinfectant. Check it out!

We've got a new poll. Please vote and let us know what you'd like to see next!

Soldiers' Angels Coffee House in Iraq

Guest blogger: Joan Sandoval, Senior Project Manager

Part of my job at Minimus.biz is to work with the non-profit Soldiers' Angels, whom we've developed a great realtionship with. Soldiers' Angels volunteer Holly Aho recently wrote a great blog post about our joint efforts. One of our recent exciting projects together is helping to set up the Soldiers' Angels Coffee House in Iraq. This would not be possible without the hard work of the Soldiers' Angels volunteers and the generous donation of delicious coffee from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf company. This just in... a letter and photo from the soldier who runs the coffee house in Iraq! Rather than re-type and re-post the photo here... you can find it directly on the Soldiers' Angels website HERE. To make a donation for the coffee to be shipped, you can follow their link to their store or go directly to it HERE and select coffee in the left hand column.

Trial Size Secret Vanilla Body Spray

Guest Blogger - Jennifer Forman, Director of Purchasing at Minimus.biz:

How many times have we heard commercials for Axe body spray for men? Well here is a product for the ladies... Secret Vanilla Sparkle spray. You get the warm delicious aroma of vanilla along with a light sparkle which makes your skin look great (tan or no tan). I love this spray because sometimes you aren’t in the mood to wear perfume but still want to smell yummy, and I love a bit of sparkle on my skin. Grab a can for yourself or the vanilla loving female in your life for only 1.49 each.

Travel Size Glide Floss

Guest blogger - Jennifer Forman, Director of Purchasing at Minimus.biz:

I’m back again to continue my floss report. If you've been an avid reader of the blog, you may remember my post awhile back on my addiction to floss. We here at Minimus just added another great floss product to our line... Glide floss. It comes in the cutest little blue round tin. Like I always say, “You’ve got to floss to be the boss.” It is one of my many mantras along with “Good things come in small packages.” My dentist loves me. I am his self proclaimed best flosser. So be your own boss and get some of these tins for yourself, and your friends and family, for only .55 each!
