They were driving cross-country from Southern California to Miami, Florida (where they left the car for a short flight to the Bahamas so my sister could scuba dive and &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;swim with the sharks!&lt;/span&gt;). After flying back to Miami they drove to Key West, Florida, then north to Washington, DC. My mom flew out to meet them in DC, my aunt got on a plane to come home, and then my mom and sister drove back across the country to finish the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sister, you see, hates to fly. So she devised an itinerary where she flew as short a distance as possible, and they were taking the opportunity to see a lot of major sights and attractions along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, a road trip calls for some special preparation, so I loaded them up with a care package of travel size things to make their journey more comfortable and enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What did they find the most valuable? Rain ponchos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/4099005064_21c8d97e1f_o.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My aunt in front of the Lincoln Monument.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently it rained the entire time they were visiting the National Mall in DC. It made for a great day - it wasn't hot, there were no crowds, and they could take as many pictures as they wanted without dodging other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else did I send along on their trip?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=216"&gt;Shout&amp;reg; Portable Wipes&lt;/a&gt; (also got heavy use!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=813"&gt;Charmin® To Go Toilet Seat Covers&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7354"&gt;Bathroom Tissue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7470"&gt;Gearaid Mini Roll Duct Tape&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8944"&gt;Purell® Aloe Hand Sanitizer, 2oz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8335"&gt;Pepto Bismol® Chewable Tablets&lt;/a&gt; (for my poor motion sick sister)&lt;br /&gt;and packets of &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7968"&gt;SmartShield® Serious Sun Protection Lotion&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7747"&gt;After Sun Pain Relief Gel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10756299-5108126560336142577?l=www.minimus.biz%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/5108126560336142577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/5108126560336142577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.minimus.biz/2009/11/have-poncho-will-travel.html' title='Have Poncho, Will Travel!'/><author><name>Lara B Black</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02150220592330034857</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09097560576227223900'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10756299.post-2862085389045784074</id><published>2009-09-08T08:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-08T08:00:04.165-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='products'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='coupons'/><title type='text'>Avast Me Hearties!</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FLOAT: right" src="http://www.minimus.biz/images/F40-4370504-8100bg.jpg" /&gt;September 19 is &lt;a href="http://www.talklikeapirate.com/" target="_blank"&gt;International Talk Like A Pirate Day&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the funniest holidays I have ever come across, and so, in honor of my sister, who LOVES pirates, take 5% off of your order of &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8503" target="_blank"&gt;Robert's American Gourmet - Pirate's Booty with Aged White Cheddar&lt;/a&gt; with Coupon Code: &lt;b&gt;PIRATE5OFF&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coupon expires Monday September 21, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ARRRR!

After only a short time, both his mom and kidnergarten teacher are reporting vast improvements in his behavior - his teacher says he's like a new child: he's had fewer melt-downs, he's interacting with the other children more, and is now doing his work with the rest of the class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, his mom is frequently faced with difficult choices of what to feed a young boy who is not only on a restricted diet, but as picky about what he eats as any other child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As anyone with Celiac disease knows, this is a challenging food plan to follow - there are so many foods that he cannot eat because they contain wheat, rye, or barley products. Eating out is a special challenge, since most restaurants are not prepared to meet the needs of celiacs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happily Minimus offers a number of &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=gluten" target="_blank"&gt;Gluten Free&lt;/a&gt; foods, and even a special &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7784" target="_blank"&gt;sensitive skin body wash&lt;/a&gt; that contains no nut oils, gluten, soy, oat, or dairy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a great travel size kids' cereal &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8824" target="_blank"&gt;EnviroKidz Organic Amazon Frosted Flakes Cereal&lt;/a&gt; that I know my nephew will love, several salad dressings, pancake syrup, chocolate syrup, packets of peanut butter (great for snacks on the go!), our VERY popular &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7667" target="_blank"&gt;Kari- Out Soy Sauce Packets&lt;/a&gt; and some great new chips from &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=gone" target="_blank"&gt;Mary's Gone Crackers&lt;/a&gt; that are not only Gluten Free, they're Dairy Free and suitable for Vegans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My nephew loves chips and peanut butter, and like most kids he'll eat anything drenched in ranch dressing, so I'm sure these will soon be staples in the pantry at his house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to see the full selection of Gluten Free products Minimus carries?

It is a liquid that you spray onto the toilet bowl water before you do your business, and it seals the smell underneath the surface.   Yes, you read that correctly.  It seals the smell underneath the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the product was pitched at our new-products meeting, I thought it must just be a gimmick. It had nice packaging, a funny hook, but did it really do what it claimed? Out of curiosity, I took some home to try. And, believe it or not, it actually worked! My wife was a fan as well (and I will refrain from the obvious joke here).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only is it a great guest bathroom conversation piece, but it works great for keeping the busy bathroom smelling fresh during a party. The company went one step further and offers a fashionable &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=poo-pourri"&gt;travel-atomizer &lt;/a&gt;where you can fill it up and drop it into a purse to take with you wherever you go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in honor of being one of the most unique travel-size items to-date, please feel free to use this coupon code for 10% off the atomizer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;PPATOM for 10% off the &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8843"&gt;Atomizer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, pick from one of four scents to fill the atomizer and use one of the following coupon codes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;PPORIGINAL for 5% off the &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8839"&gt;Original Scent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;PPROYAL for 5% off the &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8840"&gt;Royal Flush Scent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;PPHEAVEN for 5% off the &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8842"&gt;Heaven Scent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;PPNO2 for 5% off the &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8841"&gt;No. 2 Scent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Codes are good through the month of September.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10756299-7501327121721243365?l=www.minimus.biz%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/7501327121721243365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/7501327121721243365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.minimus.biz/2009/08/unique-travel-size-product-poo-pourri.html' title='Unique Travel Size Product: Poo-Pourri'/><author><name>Paul Shrater</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15282469706398778729'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10756299.post-4766408184096499513</id><published>2009-07-09T09:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T09:44:21.651-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Minimus In the Blogosphere</title><content type='html'>Yesterday, we added a new "Minimus in the Blogosphere" listing of blogs that have mentioned us in the bottom right column of this blog.

Just when we all thought that the flu season was winding down, the Swine Flu virus has begun circulating.  Though so far Americans have been told there is no need to panic, there are some basic precautions that we should all be taking to help prevent the virus from afflicting ourselves and our families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Center for Disease Control’s website (&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu"&gt;http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu&lt;/a&gt;), the following are some very simple steps that we can all take that will help to prevent ourselves against the flu virus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"&lt;u&gt;What You Can Do to Stay Healthy&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8822"&gt;Flu Safety Kit&lt;/a&gt; is designed to help you with these steps by packaging together travel-size versions of the items you need in a small snap closed bag including Kleenex® facial tissues, Clorox® Disinfecting Surface Wipes, and Purell® Hand Sanitizer.  Also included is a quick reference card that includes the above tips and more from the Center from Disease Control website.  Place the Flu Safety Kit in the places where it is needed the most – your child’s backpack, your desk at work, your purse, and your car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8822"&gt;Flu Safety Kit&lt;/a&gt; is available online through Minimus (http://www.minimus.biz) and is affordably priced for only $5.77 and for orders over $20.00, free domestic ground shipping is included.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those looking to protect their employees, volunteers, and other large groups, contact Minimus’ Major Accounts Department at MajorAccounts (@Minimus.biz) or by phone at 805-480-1415 x113 for information about how to customize the Flu Safety Kit (http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8822) with your company or organization’s logo and to obtain wholesale pricing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10756299-7186499365932143190?l=www.minimus.biz%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/7186499365932143190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/7186499365932143190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.minimus.biz/2009/04/new-flu-safety-kit-from-minimusbiz.html' title='New Flu Safety Kit from Minimus.biz!'/><author><name>Lara B Black</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02150220592330034857</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09097560576227223900'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10756299.post-45202171843491974</id><published>2009-04-07T11:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T11:56:51.156-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Join Us Tomorrow Over on DailyGrommet.com!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3611/3418784503_6591c97117.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3611/3418784503_6591c97117.jpg?v=0" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the Daily Grommet, a company with a mission to find unique products and share their stories through video, blog, and active community discussion approached us and asked us to share our story and some of our products with them for an upcoming feature.

While parents may be prepared with all of the traditional baby gear, hand sanitizer can often get overlooked. This sampler kit is a great way to have a variety of sanitizing items that can be placed in key locations – diaper bag, by the crib, night-stand, or by the entry to the home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This kit comes with unscented hand sanitizer liquid, hand sanitizer spray, foaming hand sanitizer, and hand sanitizer wipes all packed in a reusable zippered vinyl case. Keep one wherever baby is as well as tucking one into your diaper bag, and have all of your baby’s visitors clean their hands before touching those cute round cheeks and chubby little hands.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10756299-7417657934896524359?l=www.minimus.biz%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/7417657934896524359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/7417657934896524359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.minimus.biz/2009/02/protect-your-baby-from-harmful-germs.html' title='Protect Your Baby from Harmful Germs'/><author><name>Sandra L.

Thirty-seven degree weather is bad enough but what if it rains? Umbrellas are a no-no even in a downpour so be prepared for cold, wet weather by bringing an &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=poncho"&gt;Emergency Poncho&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;2. Only small snacks will be allowed once inside the gates so stock up on your favorite travel size snacks like &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=kars"&gt;Kar’s nuts and trail mixes &lt;/a&gt;for yourself and any little ones you have along with you.&lt;br /&gt;3. We all love our nice, expensive digital cameras but not when we can’t keep it protected inside a camera bag (especially if it rains) so guard yourself, and your investment, and bring a &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=camera"&gt;disposable camera&lt;/a&gt; to capture the day’s memories instead.&lt;br /&gt;4. Two words – portable restrooms. It’s better to be safe rather than sorry so take some &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=charmin"&gt;Charmin Toilet Seat Covers and Bathroom Tissue &lt;/a&gt;along, just in case.&lt;br /&gt;5. Bypass needing a thermos by stocking up with a few &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=java%20juice"&gt;Java Juice Liquid Coffee Extracts&lt;/a&gt;.  In case of a caffeine emergency, you can get a quick jolt by drinking the concentrate straight from the packet.&lt;br /&gt;6. Thinking you’ll need some extra energy to stand for hours outdoors? Choose from a selection of &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7808"&gt;1st Step For Energy Multi Vitamin Mineral Supplement&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=power"&gt;Power Bar Gels and Performance Bars&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=clif"&gt;Clif Energy Bars&lt;/a&gt; to keep you standing as long as needed.&lt;br /&gt;7. And to keep you occupied during those long wait times in line, grab a small travel-size game to slip out of your pocket and play like &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8779"&gt;Sudoku Handheld Electronic Puzzle Game &lt;/a&gt;or &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8741"&gt;The Original Pocket Farkel® Dice Game&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;8. Even though your diaper bag and stroller are required to stay home, no parent can forget to bring along the &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=wet%20ones"&gt;Wet Ones® Antibacterial Wipes&lt;/a&gt; or other wet wipe to handle the multitude of child emergencies that are sure to arise.&lt;br /&gt;9. Through rain, snow, sleet, or gloom…remember to use &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=sunscreen"&gt;sunscreen&lt;/a&gt; to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays (whether they are visible or not) while spending hours outside.&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;a href="http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=hand%20sanitizer"&gt;Hand sanitizer &lt;/a&gt;– remember the snacks, outdoor messes, and portable restrooms? Need I say more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an extra bonus, remember that since these items are  in conveniently small travel-sized pacakges, you can fit it all inside a small bag or purse and not even worry about the ban on backpacks, suitcases, and other large bags.

We have always stated that one of our goals was to listen to our customers' comments and ideas, and many of our plans for 2009 are the direct result of customer requests.  We will be continuing to add hundreds of new items to our product lines throughout the year, many of which are already in the lineup and will be launching soon.  Additionally, we will be adding two new major shopping aisles to our online store.  We will continue to update you through our blog and newsletters with our new products, sales, coupons, stories from customers, and information from the world of travel sizes.  Please continue to send in your comments and ideas, and stay tuned throughout the year as we anticipate some really great additions to the Minimus family.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10756299-6948122795463901438?l=www.minimus.biz%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/6948122795463901438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10756299/posts/default/6948122795463901438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.minimus.biz/2009/01/travel-sizes-and-2009.html' title='Travel Sizes and 2009'/><author><name>Paul Shrater</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15282469706398778729'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10756299.post-7740175724658821162</id><published>2008-12-24T08:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-24T08:00:01.685-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='customers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='products'/><title type='text'>Minimus Holiday Gift Idea #18</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px; width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="http://www.minimus.biz/uploaded_images/partiers-survival-kit-press-release-image-731677.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the final edition of the Minimus Holiday Gift Ideas, let’s think about the next holiday on our list: New Year’s Eve!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;(Ok, technically the holiday is New Year’s Day, but who’s counting?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re planning on celebrating the New Year, you need the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=8647"&gt;Partier’s Survival Kit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not for the casual partier, the Partier’s Survival Kit is designed for those who are serious about their night on the town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Partier’s Survival Kit comes packed inside of a cool plastic cocktail glass that flashes and lights up the night.
