There are many creative people whom have discovered the many novelty things that one can use foam koozies for.
These items are actually a foam material or neoprene which is used primarily as beverage coolers.
A can of soda or beer is placed within it and the material will maintain the beverages temperature (hot or cold) for approximately one hour.
That is what most people believe a foam koozie is used for, but other uses have come into play such as candy dishes, pencil holders and have even been used as wedding favors.
If you search online you may also find that retailers sell them dressed up as party animals, people, and more.
One reason that using printed koozies for novelty gifts or favors is that they are very cost-effective.
If you think about using these as a birthday party favor, they would be used instead of the actual party guests' gift or goody bag; you could fill them with candy or pencils and stickers, whatever you wish.
If you are one of the creative or ambitious personality types, you may want to decorate each koozie for your party guests by painting on their names; dates etc, or have your children do it.
Planning to use one of these items for a novelty gift like stated above, you want to be sure that you leave plenty of time for them to arrive.
Ordering online is generally easy and efficient.
Most vendors allow you to mix your colors if you want, and you may also wish to have them screen printed with a date, name, even a clipart image.
All this can easily be done, and generally for under $5 dollars each.
Foam koozies last a long time and were originally created to be portable and lightweight.
Kids can take them to the beach, picnics, even to the outdoor playground.
Where ever the need is to use one to keep their bottled water, canned juiced or sports drink cool.
