Branded Seeds!Posted: June 22nd, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Printed Eco Gifts, Seasonal Promotions | Tags: Inexpensive, Seasonal, Unusual Gifts | No Comments »The US Supreme Court has made the controversial decision to allow the bio-tech company Monsanto, to sell genetically modified seeds before safety tests are completed.
Environmentalists had argued that there might be a risk of cross-pollination between genetically modified plants and neighbouring crops. They also argued over-use of the company’s weed-killer Roundup, the chemical treatment the alfalfa is modified to be resistant to, could cause pollution of ground water and lead to resistant “super-weeds”.
Monsanto make alfalfa, a grass like plant used as animal feed, which is the fourth most valuable crop in the US. Monsanto says claims its products were dangerous amounted to “bad science fiction with no support on the record”.

Sweet Valentine IdeasPosted: January 13th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Printed Confectionery | Tags: Seasonal | No Comments »
It is that time of year again when lovers proudly walk hand in hand, beaming with happiness, there inner glow shinning strongly. I’ll most likely be spending the day in a dark room, starring at the ceiling.
Anyway, if your organisation is investing in some promotional confectionery for this romantic time, you could do a lot worse than checking out Sweets2order and browsing their latest range of Valentine related promotional sweets and chocolate. The history of sending gifts on Valentines day, can be traced to when Paper Valentines began being popular in England in early 1800s. These little gifts were soon manufactured in quantity, and assembled in factories. Before long, ornate Valentines were made with genuine lace and ribbons, with paper lace introduced in mid 1800’s.
As a writer in the Graham’s American Monthly observed in 1849, “Saint Valentine’s Day… is becoming, nay it has become, a national holyday.” Over in the United States, the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by a chap called Esther Howland of Worcester, Massachusetts.
