When you think of TOM BIHN bags, the first things that come to your mind might be:

And:

You’ve told us that you like our colors, color combinations, and that you’d even like for us to offer more colors. We’ve listened and have, in recent history, experimented with new colors and new color combinations. This means that color combinations might vary from bag to bag and from time to time.

In many cases, a bag in a new color or color combination may be available for order or pre-order before there is even a picture of it. In that situation, our Color Swatch window becomes very useful. You’ll find a link to the Color Swatch window on every product’s page in the upper left-hand corner. The Color Swatch window has up-to-date swatches of all TOM BIHN colors, helping you to imagine how colors will look together. You can click on each swatch for a larger swatch and description of color, including Pantone® approximate matches for most colors.

This picture shows another use for our Horizontal Freudian Slip organizational insert: hang it on the wall and it becomes the perfect place to store pens, ruler, calculator, business cards, file folders or papers, Post-its or other small items, keeping them at easy access while your desk is free of clutter. You can also hang the Freudian Slip on the doorknob of your office. A Vertical Freudian Slip is also available and works for wall organization, too.

moriond has posted some very useful information in our forums:

“This isn’t that new (went into effect Jan 1, 2008), but given the usage of laptops, cameras, cell-phones, and other small electronics, I thought I’d post a link to the FAA guidelines for traveling with spare lithium-ion batteries. If you carry these, you want to put them in your carry-on rather than your checked luggage, be aware of the limits in the number of spare batteries you can carry, and pack them safely.”

See them on the Kit page.

Our 2007 Holiday Gift Box is now sold out.

That said, we know that many of you are shopping for last-minute gifts, and we don’t want to leave you without a unique TOM BIHN twist to add to your own gift wrap.

We’ve decided to include the three holiday stickers we used for gift boxing in every order placed today through Friday at 2:00pm. We’ll also include two Cougar Mountain cookies in every order: one for you, and one for the giftee. (If you dare to share.)

You can use the stickers to decorate your own gift wrap, or you can include the stickers in the gift as an extra surprise.
