At the top of most people’s Valentine’s shopping lists this week are chocolates & jewelry, wallets & toolboxes, right? How about you change it up this year and get your whole team at work the best pocket knife they’ve ever seen? They can keep it in their car, kitchen, or garage, and if you have it engraved with something thoughtful they’ll think of you every time they use it.
Are you a die-hard ice cream fan? Or will you, on occasion, settle for frozen yogurt? Since the 1970’s, people have been eating fro-yo, the close cousin of ice cream. While ice cream is made up of a mixture of milk and cream, frozen yogurt is made of (you guessed it) yogurt, milk, and cream. The addition of yogurt to the recipe makes it a lower fat, lower calorie alternative to ice cream, with perhaps a little less guilt as well.
What flavor will you choose today, on National Frozen Yogurt Day? Cookie dough, strawberry, pistachio, chocolate or vanilla? Maybe add a few toppings and make your own delicious fro-yo sundae. Are you drooling yet? But the only way you’ll be able to scoop it into your bowl is with a reliable American-made ice cream scoop.
Yum!!

Kershaw Knives didn’t exist before 1974. That’s when Pete Kershaw left Gerber and started his own way of designing and manufacturing pocket knives. Today some of their knives are made in China, and some are made in the USA. Since the design and workmanship is so well controlled, the average person can’t tell where a particular Kershaw knife is made.
Decorating pocket knives has become so popular, due to the high quality laser engraving machines in use today. Engraved Kershaw Knives are laser engraved with a customer’s company logo, and used for advertising purposes.
The design of this line of knives is much different than your grandpa’s knives. You won’t see wooden handles, and pen blades, and stockman-style designs. Instead you see a curvy tactical form with a modern look. Here are 3 examples of knives that your grandpa never dreamed of:
Kershaw® “Scallion” Knife, Colors 1620 
Kershaw® Select Fire 1920 
Kershaw® Ember 3560-K
Pizza used to be pretty basic, but not these days. It can be quite a versatile dish. From gluten-free crusts, to cauliflower crusts and plant-based meats and cheeses, the possibilities are endless for people who follow even the strictest of diets. So this week, during National Pizza Week, it’s time to celebrate this wonderful pie.
But what if you don’t want to make it all from scratch? What if your local pizza joint just doesn’t make it exactly like you want? Then turn to your freezer and pull out your favorite ready-made pizza and glam it up with extra toppings- fresh tomatoes, olive oil, extra cheese, whatever you can find!
Artisan toppings can turn that boring frozen pizza into something way more delicious and enjoyable than just a plain ol’ slice of cheese pizza.
After you patiently wait for it to bake, grab your American-made pizza cutter and you’ll easily be able to feed all of your family and friends. That is, if there’s any leftover once you’re done with it!
How often are you able to corral your entire family together for dinner? Just one or two days a week? Everyday? It’s not a competition- do whatever is reasonable for your family to handle. Today is National Sunday Supper Day, a day that revolves around the idea to help bring families together around the dinner table. In decades past, it was a common tradition for families to gather in the kitchen, help prepare a large Sunday dinner, and then sit down to enjoy it together. Nowadays with work schedules, homework, after-school activities, and the like, it can be hard to get everyone together, no matter the size of your family. It starts with just one day a week, and can quickly become a weekly or daily tradition.
Here are some easy tips to help bring #SundaySupper back:
And don’t stress about it! Do what works for your family. Just cook, sit, eat, and communicate, and it will quickly set a positive vibe throughout your household.
As the new year commences, a common topic during this first week is how can we improve our diets in 2020? Maybe cut out processed sugars? Nix the meat and meat byproducts? Or how about just focusing on eating a more balanced diet? Sometimes it’s not about going on an actual “diet” (that label makes it sound temporary and negative)—but by just changing your mindset around food.
During Diet Resolution Week keep these things in mind:
It’s Christmas morning: You’re all cozy on the sofa.. in your pj’s with your hot cup of coffee.. watching your family open their gifts.. the smell of a breakfast casserole is wafting in from the kitchen.. What better way to spend a morning? Until, wait.. someone can’t quite open that box that Santa taped shut way too well. Any smart person would go straight for their best pocket knife to help open that stubborn box. To be honest, that pocket knife should always be by your side in times like this, no matter the time of year.
Here are our 5 best pocket knives to get you out of a pickle:

We are in the middle of the coldest time of year throughout the northern hemisphere. Count your blessings if you are one of the lucky ones to have a warm home to return to every evening. Countless homeless people die every year because they don’t have the necessary shelter, food, and resources to survive.
You and your company can bring awareness to this issue by attending a candlelight vigil to remember those homeless in your community who have passed away this year. Have some quality Leatherman tools engraved with #HomelessPersonsRemembranceDay for the whole company. And better yet, order some extras and pass them out at your local homeless shelter to help out future generations.
