OK, I am exhausted. I had too much to keep track of last night: First, of course, American Idol (I'm sorry, but Jason has got to go); next, I had to tune in to see who got kicked off of Dancing With the Stars (bye, bye Mario; I'll miss you!); then, I had to check out primary results from Indiana and North Carolina (I heart Anderson Cooper). So, let's see if I can cobble something together for you after all that.

Why Don't You Open Up?
The Pitch: Most of us don't have $6.4 million to lend ourselves (read the political blogs), but suppliers are willing to put a few extra bucks in your pocket. CNIJ (asi/43008), for instance, is giving you EQP on bottle opener keychains, perfect for this time of year, what with picnics, outdoor events, baseball tailgate parties and more. Check them out at: www.cnij.com. Expires 7/31/08.
The Bottom Line: The key to good times.

Hollah!
The Pitch: Here's a shout out to moms, because Sunday is Mother's Day, and also because we really do rock. Plus, as I tell my kids, moms are always right (then they roll their eyes). Peter Pauper Press Inc. (asi/77802) has a cute little book (#5599) that honors moms all year long. You Said It, Mom! A Celebration of Motherhood is an 80-page hardcover book with a 24K gold-plated charm to keep on the ribbon bookmark or wear on a bracelet. Think about flower shops; gift stores; maternity boutiques; daycare centers and more. Pricing starts at: Qty.-100; list price-$4.36; price code-R. Web address: www.asisupplier.com/77802.
The Bottom Line: Word to your mother.

Lip-Lock
The Pitch: There was a report last week about lip gloss causing skin cancer. What?! How's a girl supposed to keep her pout kissably soft and luscious? Natural Trends (asi/73497) has an idea: Item #LMJF01 is a new mini jar of SPF 15, petroleum-free, natural soy-based lip balm, which comes in 6 brilliant colors. It's also enriched with beeswax, shea butter, vitamin E and aloe and includes FDA-required drug facts label. Plus you can get them at next-column pricing. Web address: www.naturaltrends.com. Expires 5/31/08.
The Bottom Line: Pucker protection.

It's For You
The Pitch: If ET phoned home with the Net Phone (#WCP-PTO7) from Ariel Premium Supply Inc. (asi/36730), it would be a lot cheaper. Communicate PC to PC via the Internet. Plugs into computer USB, microphone and earphone ports. It has a computer mouse design, adjustable volume control and lights up like ET's finger when in use. Requires Internet connectionBanner Ad and outline communication program. Pricing starts at: Qty.-50; list price-$10.33; price code-R. Web address: www.asisupplier.com/linline.
The Bottom Line: Don't put this on hold.

Hey, Dog Breath!
The Pitch: Is Poopsie losing friends with her putrid poodle breath? Custom HBC Corp. (asi/47934) offers the Doggie Dental pet finger toothbrush (#30505-000PET). Just swipe across teeth and gums and it freshens as it promotes good oral hygiene with pet-specific formulas. It's a great and inexpensive idea for any pet-related promotion, including vets, groomers and trainers. Pricing starts at: Qty.-100; list price-.89; price code-R. Web address: www.customhbc.com.
The Bottom Line: Freshen Fido.
