AND SHIPPING OUT

SHOWING UP

These days every time we walk out the door to go to work, we’re acutely aware that we’re risking the health and safety of not just ourselves, but also our loved ones.

It might be your mother, or your immunocompromised Uncle Carl, with his endearing yet concerning laugh-cough that he belts out every time he sees you, as he pretendpunches you in the gut before turning it into a bear hug at the last second. No? Well, we all have those people we want to protect. That’s why we’ve been super careful about staying open throughout this shitstorm.

Most of Blue Q’s office staff is able to work from home most of the time, but you can’t pick, pack, and ship hundreds of orders a week from your garage.

Believe me, we thought of that, and if there was a way to make it work, this is the company that could have done it. But at Blue Q—and most businesses, really—the warehouse is the backbone. It’s the place where we keep the clocks ticking away, the trains running on time. So the warehouse had to find a way to show up and ship out every day.

To make it work, everyone has had to be super flexible.

Some folks come in early, some stay late. Sometimes we end up working in separate rooms, on different floors of this big, old, beautiful building, so we don’t crosscontaminate. We keep windows open as much as possible for fresh air. Of course, we socially distance and keep our faces covered, wash our hands and the fridge handles and doorknobs and on and on....

In other words, we look out for each other. Many of us have had to bounce around figuring out child care, homeschooling, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, dog walking, Zoom meetings, driving parents to doctors’ appointments, etc., all while maintaining at least the appearance of some kind of sanity and coherence.

So as we proudly share another catalog, we want to start by shining the spotlight squarely on this crew; for making it work through all of this weirdness, for keeping each other safe and sane, for finding a way to make sure this stuff actually makes it out into the world.

HAVE YOU MET OUR SALES REPS? You have so much in common ! They’re all across the US & Canada. They know your neighborhood. And they care about your store. That’s what it takes to run our territory protection program, helping coordinate where Blue Q is sold—making sure your special store stays special.

To talk to your local rep email us at sales@blueq.com.

We’ll get the ball rolling.

Blue Q doesn’t offer online wholesale ordering, but many of our rep groups do !

Orders received without a valid form of payment ( credit card number or billing terms ) and contact info ( buyer name, email, and phone ) are subject to cancellation. No one wants that!

WANNA PLACE AN ORDER? Minimum opening order : $ 250 Reorder minimum : $ 150

DON’T FORGET TO GIVE US YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS !

We’ve gone paperless. We need your email address with every order so we can email you your invoice. ( By the way, we can send to more than one email address. ) Really, we can’t ship your order without your email, so please don’t forget !

SHIPPING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL— NOT AS SCARY AS IT SOUNDS !

Lavatory mists and hand sanitizers are considered Hazardous Material ( “ HazMat ” ) because of their alcohol content. So we’re not allowed to ship these products via Air.

TERRITORY PROTECTION It’s not fun but it’s important. You rely on us to safeguard your commitment. We’re on it !

Before we ship an order, we make sure we know where and how Blue Q will be sold.

HOW DO YOU EARN PROTECTION ?

• You order through your rep! They call the shots on who carries what and where, and we rely on them to be the eyes and ears in every town. We work with the best reps in the business. Let them help!

• You have a brick-and-mortar store.

Steel-and-glass works, too.

• You’ve bought at least $ 1,500 of Blue Q in the last 12 months.

• You don’t sell in a location without approval.

That’s a big no-no and a quick way to stop being a Blue Q customer. It makes territory protection impossible. Besides, we want to include all Blue Q outlets in our Buy Locally section online, so no secrets, OK ?

To discuss how you can protect your Blue Q assortment, call your rep !

WANNA SELL ONLINE? Great! Email sales@blueq.com for a copy of our Online Seller Application and Minimum Price Policy. Approved brick-andmortar customers can sell Blue Q on their own website and eBay. No other third-party sites though, OK? Violation of Blue Q ’s online prices or policies will result in interruption or closure of your account. Yikes.

That sounds scary, but it’s true. Everyone relies on everyone following the rules.

So be a sport, sport.

WANNA BE IN THE BUY LOCALLY SECTION OF BLUEQ.COM ?

We include your listing if your store meets the following criteria:* • You have no overdue invoices.

• You’ve bought at least $750 of Blue Q in the last 12 months.

You lucky duck ! ALL Blue Q displays are free when filled !

• You have a brick-and-mortar storefront.

DAMAGES

* NOTE: Let us know the address and phone number where Blue Q will be sold. You don’t want your home address or cell phone number showing up. Or maybe you do. No judgment.

Damages or order errors must be reported within five business days of delivery. If your shipment arrives injured in any way, please contact Customer Service at sales@blueq.com. We find photos wildly helpful.

• We ship directly from Blue Q to you.

BLUE Q DISPLAYS Psst, I’m a prop from our first trade show in 1988.

FAMOUS FOR SETTING UP EASILY, LOOKING TERRIFIC, AND SELLING A TON. We offer carefully designed display options for everything we make—and they’re always free when filled!

I like the kitchen stuff for vegetarians the best!

Not a single bacon joke.

Love it!

Remember to brush after every tree!

TOOTHBRUSHES Just because a toothbrush is fun doesn’t mean it doesn’t do a stellar job. It’s like the cool babysitters you had who let you stay up late watching TV, but were also super good at getting you to behave and eat veggies.

This brush is super comfy in hand with a better grip for better brushing. But it’s not all boring about it. And it doesn’t even care what your bedtime is.

HERE’S TO TIM: A LEGEND RETIRES

Tim Schnopp is a jolly good fellow, a truly wonderful ol’ chap. He’s a people person and a charmer, who loves to get all dappered up every once in a while. He’s got the biggest heart of anyone I know and, I swear, it just shines out of him in this incandescent joy—this like, palpable, infectious enthusiasm for everything he does. He greets you with a big, heartfelt smile you can feel all the way down to your toes. It doesn’t matter if he’s out in the garden picking tomatoes, hard at work producing gum, making art with the gang, or dancing at the holiday party, this guy has the most fun, the smoothest moves, the wisest cracks.

He has a way of getting people to laugh, and I don’t mean a regular little chuckle, I mean a full-on, day-brightening belly laugh. He’s always pulling funny faces, or sneaking up behind you to give you bunny ears, or tap you on the shoulder so you look the wrong way. If your luck is in, he may even grace you with his famous, scarily realistic lion roar.

It’s hard to explain exactly why everyone adores Tim so much.

Maybe it’s his proud work ethic, or his debonair, high-flying attitude.

Maybe it’s just the way he tells everyone how handsome or pretty they look. But I suspect it’s more like his unbridled love of life in general, or the way he treats every single person he encounters with pure, open-hearted joy.

Tim retired shortly before the pandemic hit, and of all the people we’ve been missing, he’s at the very top of the list.

We hope that, as soon as it’s safe, the one and only Tim Schnopp will stop in for a visit!

In the meantime, let’s all take a page out of Tim’s book. Let’s pay tribute to this exceptional fella by embracing the delight and humor that’s hiding in all those little things. And hey, you never know whose day you might brighten up if you just crack a joke or roar like a lion.

WOMEN’S ANKLE SOCKS Ankle socks are introverts, technically. They peek out from the top of a shoe, like, “Who, me?”

But they’re the kind of introverts who show up at the party and steal the show by the end of the night with stories about sharing nachos on the subway with a reality TV star or something.

Such colorful characters with their blend of cotton, nylon, and spandex….

ADVENTURE MAN MEN’S CREW SW883

Our socks are nothing if not manly. They’re sturdy, like a man. They’re stretchy, like … a man. They’re soft, like … a truly manly man who shares his feelings. Feelings about life and love, work and sports, farts and video games.

You’d have to be made of stone to not feel such feelings!

But these socks are made of combed cotton, nylon, and spandex, which is so much more comfortable.

BUILT A BAND!

BLUE Q

We’ve told you about our amazing production team, made up of individuals with and without disabilities, and how they spend lots of time in art classes with fellow Blue Q-er, Caitlyn. That’s why our warehouse walls are lined with pâpier-maché pumpkins and tinfoil-painted moon portraits.

Blue Q family member Stephen started leading the group in jam sessions, and watched them progress in seconds from timidly tapping (it was the middle of the work day, after all) to banging with abandon on drums and bells; shouting, jumping and dancing to their own beat.

Every year that whole crew loves to sing a few songs at our holiday party. Last year, when they went wild with kazoos and bells, we realized it was time to expand beyond the visual arts and start jamming some sweet tunes in the warehouse.

These monster jam sessions became a weekly staple—not just for the band, but the whole building.

An audience gathered around every time, pulled from their work by the beat pulsing through the walls, dancing along and absorbing all the amped-up energy.

Now, we’re not pros or anything, but we know that to start a band, you’ve gotta have instruments. And we didn’t have those, but we’ve got people who can figure out how to make anything. This handy squad scrounged the warehouse for supplies, and after just a few days, literally rolled into the place with a massive set of crazy, custom instruments.

And we were making plans. What could the first show be like? What kind of tour bus should we get?! Will Beyoncé agree to be the opening act or what??? And then … it went quiet. Everything went quiet. Lockdown had begun.

But make no mistake, folks. This is just a hiatus. Someday when it’s safe, the band will be back. And they will rock.

Oh yes, they will rock.

WHAT DRUM CART DREAMS ARE MADE OF

RAIN STICK

CAPSTANETS

Composition: PVC pipe, nails, basmati rice Technique: Flipping over Sound: Whoooooooosh

Composition: Cardboard, bottle caps Technique: Tapping Sound: Click-click

Brrriiiiing

Ting-aling-a-ling

PING PONG PLOPPER

Whoooooosh

Floop floop floop

Composition: Ping pong ball, pencil cup Technique: Shaking Sound: Plop clack plop

Twing twung twang

Durp durp durp

FLIP FLOP FLAPS

Composition: Flip flops (without their tops) Technique: Striking pipes Sound: Floop

POPCORN BOPPER

Composition: Popcorn bucket, packing tape, styrofoam, wood Technique: Bopping Sound: Ba-bop bop

Mike and Jordan built this bad boy in the warehouse in a matter of days. Conceived in the far corners of their brains, and made from scraps and supplies around the building, it provides percussion and melody-making mayhem on demand, wherever we want it. They made it because they could. They made it because our bad-ass band can’t be tied down to any one kind of sound.

They push sonic boundaries. They’re constantly evolving. There’s nobody like ‘em.

UPRIGHT TRASH BASS

Composition: Trash can, wood, wire Technique: Plucking Sound: Ba-dum-dum-dum-dum

BEHIND THE MUSIC: DRUM CART EDITION It was February. We needed instruments and we needed them fast. (Well, there was no deadline but we were ready to start rocking.) So our crack creative team scoured the building for stuff that made sounds. Did they know what they were doing? Certainly not. But they knew that if they could turn these scraps into something good enough, the band would turn it into magic. And they blew us away in the process. You expected coffee can bongos? (I did.) Mike made a beautiful, totally in-tune glockenspiel. Jordan built a fully funky upright bass guitar out of a trash can. It was time to jam.

So what did the band think of their instruments? They approached the convoluted set-up with understandable caution. Then the tapping and bopping began quietly—till Sue cranked the volume, smacking a bucket drum as her bandmates followed suit. Tina twirled the heck out of that rain stick and Meaghan power-plopped those flip flops on the pipes. Everyone flowed from one instrument to the next, listening to the new sounds they were making, but also listening to each other, tuning into the way their unique tones rang out together to make one big beat. It was a thumping, clanging, wild success.

NO ONE IN THIS PHOTO IS A REAL DOCTOR.

(OR BELLHOP) It started as a normal day in the Blue Q office last December … until two actors dressed as a doctor and a bellhop waltzed in, twirled, and started singing a thank you song of some unusual sort. It seemed like they’d hijacked a Broadway song from Cats, or was it Chicago? Either way, our caffeine-deprived brains slowly started to pick up the theme: we’d just surpassed the million-dollar mark in our donations to Doctors Without Borders. A special thank you squad had been dispatched.

Once we figured out what was going on, mouths awkwardly agape, we were crying with laughter— clapping so loud and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet.

We were so appreciative.

We’ve developed a special rapport with Doctors Without Borders since we partnered up seven years ago to start donating 1% of sock sales to support their humanitarian medical aid efforts. We’re awed by the organization’s work expanding accessibility to medical care across national boundaries, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation. And always in situations of real, extreme crisis. It’s a marvel of coordination and skill and empathy amongst thousands of people.

In 1999 the group was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for their work.

So this telegram went out to you, too, since some of the proceeds of every Blue Q sock, kitchen accessory, and toothbrush you’ve purchased is out there, somewhere distant, somewhere hurting, making the world a healthier, safer place.

By the way, my buddy Bill here takes all the photos in these catalogs! True story!

But it’s so good at that job! Killing 99.99% of germs on contact, with doctor-recommended 62% alcohol content and moisturizing aloe vera. Enjoy the accolades, hand sanitizer. You earned it.

ABSTRACT SANDWICH ART BY: JULIA BANDUCCI

CHEERING SECTION ART BY: MEAGHAN STEDMAN

BAD HAIR DAY ART BY: STEVEN DODGE

Sometimes a little surprise shows up inside your order from Blue Q. Like the Rainbow Worm Family we showed you in last year’s catalog. These are the new those. They’re artful little somethings whipped up by the same team that puts finishing touches on lots of our products—boxing up gum, labeling Lip Shit and the like. And with these, everybody adds their own touch. After all, no two people style a bad hair day the same way. But they’re all specifically designed to spark a smile.

Pencil cases are the perfect size to carry twenty Blackwing 602 pencils, the official favorite pencil of Blue Q. They have a square, adjustable eraser at the top that sits in a shiny gold ferrule, which is a word that I just learned! It means ... bendy eraser holder? No matter how many ferrules you fit inside, this 95% recycled material will hold ’em and the hefty, reliable zipper will keep ’em inside.

HANDY TOTES

These guys are designed to hold the most fun things that fit in a smallish bag.

Those things are lunch, wine, and gifts. So use it as a lunch bag, a wine tote, or a gift bag and—I know, I know, we forgot one fun thing. But we cannot ethically suggest you put puppies in this tote. But if you just can’t help yourself, it easily wipes clean.

DISPLAYS & SIGNAGE

So here’s to another season! We sure as heck don’t know what’s gonna happen in this world, but couldn’t be happier to be here with you.

At the end of the day that’s what this is all about, isn’t it? It’s about making the world a tiny bit better one perfect gift at a time. One smile at a time, one chuckle in this frankly rather depressing era. That’s worth all the wonky hours, the hard work, the uncertainty and stress. That’s why you keep your doors open and we keep your shelves stocked.

It’s never exactly been easy, and it sure ain’t right now. But at a time when no one knows what each day will bring, your store gives customers a place to go where they know they’ll find a reason to smile (even if you can’t see it behind their mask)—and gifts that’ll make their family and friends feel all warm and loved and appreciated.

We kicked off this catalog with three cheers for our warehouse, where every Blue Q product begins its journey. Now we’ll close by singing the praises of the places these products go to shine, the stores—and you, the brave souls that run them.

LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE STORES!
