Remember the classic Nokia mobile phones? If you do, you're probably about my age!! Technology might have had an upgrade since the old 3310 was on the market, but that doesn't mean you can't pay loving tribute with a hotted up iPhone case that borrows from the look of yesterday.

Like many people around the country, I am sure you would have been to an exhibition or an event and found yourself lucky enough to come across some promotional item gear. Here I have listed out 6 top alternate uses for promotional items other than for what they were originally intended for. Check them out on the list below. I am sure you will agree that some of these ideas are really handy.

These items listed below do not need to be promotional products of course and can merely be any similar type of product. These ideas are great to use around the home and office. Okay, here goes the list: The Top 6 Useful Ideas around the Home.

1. Rubber Band Door Lock Opener - Are you moving house or have a door that is in a high traffic area where you would need the door to not only be unlocked but be able to swing open and shut?

Here is a brand new experience that many adults may not have tried lately. A solid state bubble bath. Or in other words a giant ball pit for adults. This project was the brainchild of a creative agency based out of London. Personally I think it is a delightful idea, and if there is anyone reading this that would love to emulate this in Australia we at Cubic Promote will definitely love to assist by supplying the number of stressballs needed to fill your space.

There can be no doubt that the Japanese have a minimalist visual style all of their own and it can be tough trying to replicate that in a Western rebrand. But what about when European agencies take on the rebranding of a high end Japanese restaurant? The result is an eye-catching set of custom print marketing materials that brings Japanese style right to the forefront of European branding.

Promotional Stationery Purple Rebrand

This particular marketing reset was produced for the MIKÔTO restaurant in Stuttgart, Germany. The eatery is known for its fine dining so the rebrand needed to focus on an upmarket, stylish new look. The resulting paper and cardboard marketing materials are a wonderful blend of greys, whites and purples with a black and

Who ever thought crayons could be made into something so spectacular? The designers behind Haute Couture creations always seems to blow my mind. In my opinion, some can get a bit over the top and seem completely unwearable by us that cannot pull off just about anything, like Lady Gaga for example. However, these creations that were made for the iconic window display at the Bloomingdales store on 59th street in New York City actually looks very approachable, and absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't have to think twice if I got my hands on that amazing green and yellow jumpsuit. I would be more than happy walking around the streets with crayons all over me, without a doubt.

This collaboration was made between the company Crayola and a number of famous fashion designers in order to create an eye-catching window display full of bright spring colors. The dresses were made from as many as 18,000 crayola crayons. Don't you just get full of spring feelings, and inspired to go nuts with creativity

We only recently blogged about an awesome idea for an edible promotional cup. The concept product was designed to look like a miniature espresso mug with a baked cookie exterior. An interior lining of icing sugar was to have kept the hot contents from eating through the bikkie part before you had a chance to consume it. But as we noted in that article, the original idea surfaced 12 years ago and we still haven't seen a mass produced, edible coffee cup produced.

Until now, that is.

KFC in the UK have begun producing the "Scoffee" as part of their introduction of Seattle's Best Coffee brand into their restaurants. The Scoffee is, like the spec cup we blogged

This is the 2nd part of our exploration into the COOLEST tee shirts ever designed. The humble tee shirt originally was once considered an undergarment. The tee shirt was never supposed to be the only item of clothing a respectable gentleman or lady wore when they were out and about. With this in mind, the popularity of well designed promotional tee shirts have exploded. Here are some of the coolest designed printed tee shirts that I have come across thus far.

1. Incorporate local culture for connection.
2. Use humor and wit to stand out.
3. Experiment with printing techniques.

Promotional USB hubs are the forgotten office technology helpers. Each USB hub device can be used to expand a single port into several once connected to the host system. This means that instead of being restricted to the factory standard one or two USB ports on your device (depending on the product of course) you can now 4 or 5 USB devices in at any given time. Super handy for the work place, and definitely great to have at home if you're a tech-head or have frequent geeky guests. But, like most products, who wants to have a boring standard USB hub?? That's why we've compiled this list of our fave customised USB hubs to help liven up your computer desk!

1. Custom USB hubs enhance branding.
2. Novelty options spark creativity.
3. Practical and fun functionality.

I love going to the movies and I am guilty of purchasing movie merchandise for some of my favourite flicks, especially for super hero themed movies. With much delight though, I have come across some really odd and strange movie themed products. Some of these are official merchandise, whilst some others are not. Check out this list though and let me know what you think.

5 Hilariously Unique Movie Products

Number 1: The hottest movie ticket in town quite literally has to be 50 Shades of Grey. This movie has had mixed reviews which have been overall positive. I don't plan on seeing this movie, but I do appreciate some of the cool merchandise that has accompanied it, including this unique Promotional Teddy Bear. Looking at what he is holding, and what he is wearing doesn't leave much to the imagination on what he is all about.

Last year we talked about the awesome Batman custom stamp promotion that combined the forces of the US Postal Services with DC Comics to produce collectible stamps featuring The Dark Knight.

• These limited edition coins are made of 99.9% pure silver and have full-color Star Trek images on one side.
