Wheat Straw Promotional Products - An Awesome Sustainable Option!

Have you heard of wheat straw? It's a new trend in promotional products.

Wheat straw is the stalk left over after wheat grains are harvested. Traditionally, it has been treated as a waste product. However, these stalks still have value. The material can be reclaimed and used to make products.

Promotional products manufacturers have gravitated towards this new renewable and sustainable material to produce new durable products made with less plastic. The blended finish offers a unique new look, as well.

Here are some of my favorites.

Hoping this finds you and those close to you still in good health and spirits.

In fact, above is one of my paintings that reminds me that this is only temporary.

First, to paraphrase the late singer Kenny Rogers--I've just dropped in to see what condition your condition is in. Hoping that this finds you and those close to you in good health and spirits.

Did you know that one of my hobbies is painting? I've attached an image of one of my paintings, which was inspired from a trip to Hawaii from several years ago. Wouldn't that sound nice right now? Have you worked on any of your hobbies during the stay-at-home period? Or, have you still been busy with work? If you are working hard like I am, here is the latest info that I have as of right now on the status of promotional product orders.
