    We will participate as an exhibitor at FLIBS and would like to purchase gadgets (Summer Straw Hat with our logo) in the U.S.A. to give to booth visitors, but we were not able to find a good address.
    Any suggestions is appreciated.

    Your location suggests that you will go to FLIBS to promote the Marina di Porto Rotondo.
    If so, in your boots I'd rather arrange a tasting of filu 'e ferru, rather than any gadgets.
    THAT is granted to impress the Americans, and attract them to Sardinia! :D

    I can only speak from my own experience, but never underestimate the appeal of 'gimmies' to people who have little interest in your product or service.

    We thought of something Sardinian, but we didn't want to risk breaking the law without knowing the U.S. rules.
    A US company to order some logo gadgets from should be safer.

    Some nice flyers or brochures, printed locally (FLIBS) should be of help.
    Logo gadgets don't do much for me.
    A print with a name, contact info (web site) and some nice pictures of what your promoting go a lot further.

    Any UPS Store will likely receive and hold your parcel for pickup when you arrive. Perhaps UPS Store at Address: 757 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
    Phone: (954) 764-6900

    I've had good experiences with Vistaprint. If you're going to order something you may want to get on with it. FLIBS is quickly approaching.

    Coming to think of it, you might be right.
    Filu 'e ferru could well be considered as dangerous as nitroglycerine, by anyone not used to drink it...! :)
