It’s HOLIDAY time!

The holidays are always a fun time of year, filled with celebration and hopefully some time off too! It also provides a great opportunity for businesses to thank their employees and clients.

We understand that selecting a ‘thank you” gift for clients and employees can be tricky. You want to keep it professional, but you also want to make a lasting impression. You want it to be useful, but you also have a budget.

Lucky for you, we can help! Our team has compiled a list of the top new items for 2018, all of which will accomplish your goals.

Stainless Steel Straws

As consumers become more informed and conscious of their impact, their habits change and priorities shift. This was demonstrated recently by the banning of plastic straws across many different areas. Why? This little piece of plastic convenience is a threat to sea turtles and cannot be recycled.

This change in behavior creates a unique opportunity for your brand to be environmentally friendly with a useful promotional item!

In addition to a holiday gift, here are some other ways you can use these eco-friendly straws as part of your promotional strategy this year:

Promotional item for your top customers
Trade show giveaway item – it’s unique, easy to transport, and cost effective
Use as a giveaway item on social media to build your following

We also like to pair these with a sought-after branded water bottle as a gift!

Essential Oil Diffusers with Oils

There are plenty of ways to scent your home and office. But if you’ve spent any amount of time on the internet lately, you know that essential oil diffusers are the hottest trend, and for a good reason: they dispel natural oils into the air, which have various wellness benefits (in addition to just making things smell nice).

According to scientific studies, essential oils have the ability to interact with the brain and the nervous system to impact mood and health. These amazing diffusers only require some water and a few drops of your favorite blend to turn your home or office into a stress-relieving oasis.

Can you think of a better gift for your employees and clients than relaxation and good health? We can’t!
