One of the biggest problems about meeting your friend in a crowded spot is how difficult it is to spot them from a distance. But now there’s a clever way to sort the problem out, and maybe earn a bit of extra cash on the side as well.

This Teardrop Body Banner is a full ready to wear accessory that anyone can use to make sure they’re easy to spot in a crowded venue or location. Just attach your choice of flag, snap on the handy harness and you’re good to go. The flag can, of course, be set with any phrase or logo of your desire, and if you’re strapped for a bit of cash, why not sell off some advertising rights while you’re at it? Perfect.

The kit – also known as the Blind Date Banner – is very portable and easy to set up, and when you’ve made the successful connection, you can tuck it all away until it’s needed the next time. We assume it’s also useful for blind dates, where it’s typically just so hard to spot the person carrying the rolled up copy of Time Magazine. The product is priced at £99 and comes with padded straps for extra comfort.
