New Year's Eve in Times Square

What will you be doing for New Year's Eve? 

Every year, over one million people pile into Times Square to see the famous New Year's Eve crystal ball drop at midnight.

This year's theme, "Let there be friendship," is symbolized with the 300 or so crystals that were placed on the ball just yesterday.

If you're one of the million that will hug or kiss that special someone at midnight in Times Square, you can expect to be standing around for hours on end.

Luckily, myself and Heather Cross, an about.com guide, are here to remind you what items are best to pass the time on New Year's Eve.

• Warm, promotional apparel will be a must to survive the bitter weather. The low for New Year's Eve in Times Square is 33 degrees. Motivators carries promotional fleece and custom imprinted outerware are perfect, especially for the 20% chance of precipitation we might be expecting. 
• Bring a camera. People tend to forget to bring a camera and those who do will forget to back up their old photos on a promotional USB flash drive.
• Promotional snacks are a must-have to keep your hunger satisfied. Promotional nuts are a great snack that can last a while and fill one up.

There's certainly other items you can bring but Motivators is here to remind you about the essentials.
