We would like to present two innovative ideas that we found this week. These two fairly standard products have been given an innovative twist to make them cool and unique, making them perfect promo gifts. Taking standard items and re-designing them through innovation to make new and cool products is a great idea. The two products here are items that, in their standard form are not very exciting.  However they have been redesigned with additional features to help bring the products into the 21st century where consumers expect products to modernize with the times. These two products are chopsticks and notebooks.
