When a product is made with NASA technology and seen on Shark Tank…it is almost a given that the product is going to be added to the “GOTTA HAVE IT” list. This is the Phoozy XP3 – a durable phone case that has a “full tank” of features (see what we did there?) for your on-the-go adventures. It has an internal stash pocket made for cards and cash, as well as multiple attachment points that make it quick and easy to clip it to your bag, clothes, etc. The Phoozy also floats like a bobber with its water-resistant flotation material, making it an easy revival and saving grace in case you’re having a little too much fun on or in the water! How does NASA come into action you may be asking?! The Material of the Phoozy XPS is, in fact, derived from NASA Spacesuit technology, which reflects more than 90% of the sun’s heat to prevent over-heating and permanent damage to your device while ALSO insulating your device in the cold conditions. Because of this, it extends your battery up to 4X the amount it would be without using the Phoozy. This product is really out of this world…and we highly recommend including the Phoozy into your brand, whether it’s for a summertime beach campaign, a winter cold weather protection kit, or anything in between!

Calling all of our color enthusiasts, artists, marketers, brand strategists, and design nerds alike! It’s the start of another year, which means the beginning of many new things, but one of our favorites continues to be Pantone’s announcement of the official Pantone Color of the Year.

As you may know, every year the Pantone Color Institute and its color experts arrive at a color selection that reflects their thoughtful consideration of worldwide trends, influences, and forecasts.  They analyze everything from the entertainment industry to travel, art, design, fashion, lifestyle, technology, pop culture, and more.  This selected color is intended to be an influence on that year’s decisions for things like product development and packaging, fashion, industrial design, graphic design, and branding.

This year, the Pantone Color Institute has selected PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri as the Color of the Year!

According to Pantone, this color’s “courageous presence encourages personal inventiveness and creativity”, and we couldn’t agree more! Our first thoughts were immediately associated with animated films, fictional dream-like worlds, and uplifting inspiration.  The color brings about memories of Dr Seuss films…or perhaps a character from Pixar’s Monster’s Inc.?

Pantone describes in their announcement that Very Peri reflects the transformative times that we are living in.  After coming out of an intense period of isolation, our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways.  This new color expresses the “fusion of modern life and how color trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vise versa.” Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute goes on to say that the violet-red undertones combined with the qualities that come with the blue, “displays a spritely, joyous attitude and a dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression”. 

Very Peri has both a calm presence and an inspiration quality about it.  We definitely agree that it feels encouraging and creative! Combine it with a texture to bring an animated and playful feel to it, or add it to your wardrobe for a fun and inspiring fashion piece for 2022!

What do you think of Pantone's choice for this year's color? Would you add it into your daily color picks?

You think you can’t keep up with the trends?!?!? THINK AGAIN!! By taking a quick peek at this blog, you can keep your repertoire of products HOT and your beverages even HOTTER during this winter season!

What a wonderful segue into our *sizzle* hot item of the week – our 14-ounce, oh-so-loved, Ember Mugs! Now let me tell you people…this ‘aint yo’ regular mean mug.  This mug is designed to not just keep your coffee/tea/warm beverage hot, but it also allows for you to set an exact drinking temperature for your beverage! (What in the world @ technology?!) The Smart LED indicates when your beverage has reached its *chefs kiss* temperature. Select your desired temperature through the Ember app and don’t worry about forgetting to shut it off because it ALSO has a built-in auto-sleep function sensing when to turn off and on. The weather may be getting colder, but NorthPoint’s products and drinks just get hotter and HOTTER!
