The Soapstone Beer Flight will include four five-ounce glasses, allowing the cus- tomer to serve their beer in true pub style. The glasses will come on a custom cut soapstone serving board that features live edges, giving it a rustic spin to the mod- ern gray color scheme. The soapstone comes from recycled remnants, making this piece made in the U.S.A. "Beer is especially popular right now with the trend of not only home brew kits being sold in stores but with the popularity growing of macro and micro- breweries popping up all over our home office's city of Denver," explained Marketing Coordinator Kate Naylor. "We urge our customers to support their local breweries by buying beer from them and sampling them with friends and family with our beer flight." Bryan Leavelle co-owner of Denver brewery, Our Mutual Friend Malt & Brewery, explained that beer flights are not only a fun way to allow a new customer to survey the types of beer they serve, but it also can provide an opportunity to learn more about each brewing process. "There are more types of beer than just IPA and Stout and by using a sampler like a beer flight, this gives the customer a chance to take note of tastes and smells." SPARQ hopes this item will not only be an ideal gift for the craft beer lover, but for wed- ding and holiday gifts. "In the past, we've kept the focus on liquor and wine – shot glasses for vodka, tequi- la, decanters for whiskey, wine accessories. We are excited about expanding to beer and hopefully coming up with a whole line of beer accessories to add to the beer flight," explained SPARQ designer Adam Feist. Visit SPARQ Home at booth #S4066.

GRUND PRESENTS NEW COLLECTION OF ORGANIC COTTON HOME RUGS Grund ® America, a leader in the manu- facturing of bathmats, is launching a new Home Rug line made of organic cotton. "Organic cotton is a safe, socially responsible and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cotton. It pro- vides the consumer with the same bene- fits of conventional cotton – soft, durable, affordable – but without the negative effects to the environment and to human exposure to harmful chemicals," stated Michael Twer, Vice President/General Manager. "We take tremendous pride in being socially responsible for our com- munity and for the products we produce." The Organic Cotton Home Rugs are certified by GOTS (GOTS), which is the worldwide leading textile processing standard lab. The Grund Organic Cotton Home Rugs can be used in many rooms in the home, including the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and utility rooms." Based on the Textile Exchange research, the tangible benefits of organic cotton production shows significant reduction in global warming, soil erosion and soil acidification, water use and ener- gy consumption. In addition, the study's most significant findings when compar- ing organic cotton to conventional cotton included the following: 46 percent reduced global warming potential; 70 per- cent less acidification; 26 percent reduction in soil erosion; 91 percent reduc- tion in ground (blue) water consumption; and 62 percent reduction in primary energy demand. The release of this study validates the turning point for the organic cotton production as a viable and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional cotton. Lastly, the Grund Organic Cotton Home Rugs are grown and produced without exposure to toxic chemicals and pesticides. Launching in April just in time for Earth Day, the Grund Organic Cotton Home Rug collection will be available in multiple col- ors, sizes and three designs. About Grund Grund was founded in 1990 as a manufacturer of fine bathroom accessories, specifically bath mats. Since its inception as a family-owned company operating out of the family's home, Grund has grown into a major tex- tile supplier to the EU nation. Today, Grund dominates the European home market and currently exports products to more than 40 countries. Visit Grund in the North Hall, booth #8344. For more information, go to www.grundamerica.com. VIATEK FEATURES LIFE JUICER AND CALYPSO RX Making healthier decisions in 2015 is easier than ever with the launch of the new Whole Fruit Life Juicer and Calypso RX from Viatek Consumer Products Group. Whether you are trying to commit to a healthier lifestyle or relieve the pain from a new workout regimen, Viatek has you covered. Due to the success of the Life Juicer at last year's International Home + Housewares Show, Viatek will yet again feature the Life Juicer with its newly designed wide-mouth chute that makes it capable of juicing whole fruits and veg- etables. With the Life Juicer, creating delicious and nutritious juice recipes is easier and faster than ever! Known as the "slow juicer" for its operation at 80 RPM and 150 watt power usage, the Whole Fruit Life Juicer actual- ly releases more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients than con- ventional extractors that rip and tear through foods at 10,000 RPM and suck up to 1,500 watts of power. Unfortunately, eating healthier is only half the battle. As we all scurry into the gym to blast away holiday pounds, we may discover that working out leaves muscles feeling sore. Luckily, Viatek has developed the Calypso RX, a discreet and portable pain relief device. The first of its kind, it uses technology previously only available to doc- tors for use at medical clinics. Callypso RX is the only device to generate gentle, dual action pulsed direct current (DC) to disrupt the pain-spasm signals the human body sends to the brain. Additionally, Calypso RX's pulsed DC penetrates deep into muscle and tissue, improving circulation at the source of the pain, to boost the body's natural healing and recovery processes. It's industry exclusive eight-hour night- time treatment program works while you sleep, and no other device on the market provides the dual benefits of Calypso RX. Calypso RX is perfect for relieving back, knee, leg and elbow pain, and a host of other aches, soreness and strains. Both professional and amateur athletes have found it effective in helping to heal the body between work- outs, while senior individuals enjoy the relief from muscle and joint pains.
