Where are your stories?

I have talked to a lot of our customers who are using our products for a variety of interesting things... wild adventurous camping trips, gifts for VIPs traveling on private jets, themed parties. I would love to post your stories and your photos of the products in action. Send them in to me at marketing (@) minimus.biz and if it's appropriate, I'll post it on here.

Pre-Made Kits Launched

Today we just started a line of pre-made kits that we are offering. There are about 10 that we've started with, and there are many more in the works. Some of them may even be co-branded with other companies. Feel free to check them out HERE (and you have to click on each kit to get a full listing of what it contains).

Kiss My Face

That's what our purchasing director said to me a couple of weeks ago. Now, it was a little weird in that she's my first cousin.

What she was really talking about was a line of products called "Kiss My Face." We had been getting a lot of requests to carry their travel sizes as the Kiss My Face brand is all organic (shampoo, conditioner, deodorant) and their deodorant is an unscented deodorant.

This has been a huge request amongst our camping customers -- a fragrance free deodorant so the bugs and the bears don't bother you. We'll, they are all now here, on the site and ready to go.

Breath Strips & Single Use Floss

Due to the increasing popularity of breath strips, we found one that we really liked and thought we should add to our lineup... the Oraline Ice Mint Breath Strip.

From the same company, we also noticed a single use floss in a packet.

We already offer a couple of tiny travel size flosses, but this one was a simple little packet of a single use foot and a half strip of mint waxed floss. Pretty cool. And, we can offer it for $.13 each.

Faster Page Loads

We just underwent a major server upgrade and the pages should load much, much faster now. Not that anyone reading this really cares about tech stuff like that, but I thought I'd share.

Extra Sugarfree Gum

We offer a couple of kinds of chewing gum, but some have asked for a sugarfree one. So, we added a couple flavors of Wrigley's Extra SugarFree Gum.

Brown Family Farm Pure Maple Cream

I know Halloween is over, but if you have a sweet tooth like I do, try this stuff... the Brown Family Farm Pure Maple Cream. Wow. It is a spread that goes on toast, waffles, muffins, bagels, and many other things you can think up. Or, you can keep a jar on your desk and occasionally just dip your finger into it... did I say that out loud?

Charmin To Go Fresh Mates Cloths

I know I've mentioned this recent new product before in a list of new products, but I wanted to give it an extra mention. It is the newest of the Charmin To Go line... the Charmin To Go Fresh Mates Cloths. It is a 10 pack of flushable moist wipes.

Well, our friends over at the manufacturing company report that these have been selling like hotcakes across the nation. Apparently, people love them. Try it out and let me know what you think.

XCafe Coffee Packet

We just added a cool new tea, so we have to be fair and add a cool new coffee. The XCafe Liquid Coffee packet is brand new to the marketplace. We are one of the first places to get this exciting product. It is 100% Columbian Coffee and comes in a packet similar to a ketchup packet. Each packet makes a cup of coffee, and it's available in both regular and decaf. If you are a coffee lover, looking for interesting new developments in coffee, check this out. Let me know your thoughts!

Serengeti Tea Company - Ticolino Tea Sticks

We just added a really neat product from the Serengeti Tea Company, the Ticolino tea stick. When we saw how cool they looked, we had to add them to our site.

They come in six different flavors. They are basically tea bags in the shape of sticks, but instead of using paper where the tea flavor can seep through, it uses tiny little holes. I haven't tried it yet, but others here say they are great and that Serengeti is a great tea company. If you try it and have any opinions, please come back and post it on here or email me at marketing (@) minimus.biz and I'll do a follow-up entry on it.
