NEW AND NOTEWORTHY PRODUCTS
Game Faces
Sports fanatics will appreciate this Game Time Sports Watch, which is pre-programmed with the entire schedule of their professional team of choice. The watch not only lets wearers know who their fave's opponent is, but also alerts them to the tip-off by playing “The Star Spangled Banner.” New seasons can be programmed each year by purchasing a $15 module. Team logos are placed on the watch face, and marketers can add their own messages to the band. Prices start around $34.95 per. Minimum order is 100 pieces. Call New York City-based Good Time for specifics at 800-289-8963, or e-mail lindar@websterwatch.com.

Prices start at $5 per and drop to $3.83 each on a 1,000-bucket order. For more information, call 800-227-4279, ext. 404, or surf over to garyline.com.

Sticktoitiveness
The slip-free Magic Mat from Stamford, CT-based Jornik will keep any object from sliding around the dashboard — or any other potentially slippery surface. The Mat fits neatly into a No. 10 envelope, and can be stamped with logos and messages. (Orders can also include a logoed, protective paper sleeve.)

Video Heads
This tongue-in-cheek Webhead picture doll lets users slip any picture onto the screen to create a personalized tchotchke for work or home. The eight-inch doll was made to perch comfortably on top of a computer monitor, and comes in a number of techno-themed motifs. (This one's called Dot. E. Com. Yep, we're laughing, too.) Custom manufacturing and printing are available. Turnaround time is six weeks. Prices begin at $9 per. For more information, call 800-886-3364 or head over (Get it? “Head” over?) to iwebhead.com.
