With many businesses and restaurants temporarily (or permanently) closed, I have spent much of my spare time going outdoors with my family. We go on hikes and walks whenever we have the chance. Today is Play Outside Day, so take this as a sign to get out there and enjoy some fresh air. Take a deep breath and let your worries float away.
(And I would suggest taking one of these promotional Maglights with you in case it gets dark while you’re out!)
Across the U.S. and Canada today, people will be eagerly watching the news to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. It’s a funny superstition, but one that has persisted since the mid-19th century.
What’s your vote?
Will he see his shadow, foreshadowing 6 more weeks of winter?
Or will he not see his shadow, bringing on the spring season?
(If he doesn’t see his shadow, that means it’s a cloudy day and will most likely need one of these engraved flashlights) –>
Let’s all gather today to encourage equality, love, and generosity worldwide as we celebrate the birthday and life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
What better to drive out the darkness than these promotional Maglites:
Flashlights aren’t what they used to be. Do you remember the big old ones of the 1950’s? They had an incandescent bulb and 2 D batteries. The bulbs would burn out once in a while, the batteries would leak and destroy the flashlight. Or you would drop it and break the glass lens.
Then came the 6 volt lantern batteries and the accompanying lantern flashlights. They were very bright and would last a long time. But, same old incandescent bulb.
Then in 1979 Anthony Maglica invented and manufactured Maglites. This flashlight had a rugged aluminum barrel, and was well built. Still it had the same old incandescent bulb.
The era of technology then drove Mr. Maglica to change the bulb (and the accompanying circuitry) to the LED bulb. I don’t know the year of this change.
Now, in 2021, Some engraved flashlights use COB bulbs, which are even brighter than LED bulbs. And some circuits even make it possible to have different light levels, flashing, strobing, and SOS blinking.
Flashlights have come a long way since the 1950’s. Let’s remember this on January 6, National Technology Day.
It’s been a rough year, to say the least. Thank goodness it is almost over.
Between the global COVID-19 pandemic, social justice protests, and the presidential election, we all deserve for 2021 to start off on a better foot.
What better (and funny) way to end the year than by getting a Maglite engraved with “Good Riddance 2020” for all of your employees and favorite customers?
Happy New Year!
Today is a day where you can exhale and relax- Christmas is upon us. How do you like to celebrate Christmas Eve? By playing Christmas carols, preparing a yummy dinner for your family, wrapping gifts, sitting around the fire?
Celebrate this evening with peace and joy in your hearts. Have a very Merry Christmas!
(And we hope tomorrow you’ll be lucky enough to receive a gift of promotional Maglights!)

Today is, quite literally, a day to give back. We shouldn’t need a national holiday to remind us to show appreciation and gratitude- it should be a year-round thing, right?
Nonetheless, today is the National Day of Giving, aka #GivingTuesday. It is a day to give your time, items, or money to charities throughout the world.
What would you have your Maglite engraved with?
