Every season holidays seem to get closer together. Extended holiday advertising causes them to overlap, creating confusion for the already befuddled gift giver. Holiday promotional gifts fall into that category, as well. Choosing the proper item as a gift for staff, customers and business associates can be difficult, particularly if one waits until the last minute.
Promotional items are designed to capture the attention of the recipient. The gift can be funny, outrageous, classy or practical. The only real criterion for a holiday promotional gift is that it should be on time.
Many promotional items take 3 weeks or more to be prepared, printed and shipped. Some items can be had within a week or less, but waiting until the last minute narrows your scope of choices and may cost you more money. Be sure to plan ahead.
There are many holidays throughout the year which can be utilised as prime gift giving opportunities. Traditional holidays may include St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day. Others you may want to think about are patriotic themed holidays, national history month, and monthly awareness campaigns such as health or industry related subjects.
Personalised items you may want to consider:
Cards, gift baskets, ornaments, food, beverages, clocks, mugs, electronic gadgets, writing/desk sets, calendars, bags, apparel, decorations, key rings, travel accessories, motivational items, candies, gift of the month, frames, and digital cameras.
The only things you want to steer clear of are gifts that have specific religious connotations as they may offend your clients.

Healthy gifts
A recent report shows that more than 1 billion Americans catch cold every year. This contagious ailment is responsible for approximately 50 million missed days of work. Naturally, missed work is bad for business, and besides, no one likes to be sick. One of the reasons for illness in the workplace is simple exposure. The average desk contains over 300 times more germs than a toilet seat. A promotional gift of hand sanitiser and disinfectant would go a long way to restoring the health of staff and clients. When you give a healthy gift, you are putting a stop to nasty germs while promoting your business as the same time.
By giving personalised healthy gifts and safety products, you are showing your customers, staff and associates that you care about their health and welfare. Such gestures are always appreciated and may help you to develop an even stronger relationship with the recipients.
There are hundreds of healthy gifts to choose from. Safety gifts may come in the form of first aid kits, pill dispensers, or automotive safety kits which include tools, candles, blankets, and other essential items in case of a breakdown or accident.
Gifts that promote the recipient’s health may include:
Rain gear, sunscreen, antibacterial products, calorie counters, CPR kits, dental kits, emergency - disaster & survival kits, exercise & fitness products, personal care products, stress relievers, thermometers, pill boxes, pill splitters, and tissue packs.
You may also consider constructing a gift baskets filled with a collection of healthy gifts.

Promotional gifts gone green
Recycled, recyclable, sustainable, biodegradable, solar-powered, hydro-powered, energy efficient, organic – these are all words that describe the latest in environmentally friendly promotional products on the market. Going green has never been so easy, and the amount of eco-friendly promotional gifts is on the rise.
What’s so important about going green? Products that are recycled, recyclable, organic, biodegradable and self-sustaining help to save valuable natural resources while keeping unnecessary items out of the landfills. These green gifts promote awareness of the state of the environment and show that you are doing your part.
In addition to reducing waste, green products are often made from renewable resources such as corn resin and other natural materials. The materials can be returned to the earth without emitting harmful toxins.
Promotional items are traditionally designed to promote your company and make your brand known. They serve to capture the attention of new clients and show appreciation to the old. Eco-friendly products will help to improve your image, and what better image to have than a company that is proactive and responsible?
There are many personalised eco-friendly items to choose from, including organic foods, beverages, apparel, bags, paper products, books, refillable anything, drink ware, office supplies, recycle/compost bins, literature, garbage bags/bins, balloons, golf tees, toys, solar/water powered items, calculators, lights, chargers, radio, clocks, and towels.
When giving the gift, consider attaching a handwritten thank you note – printed on recycled paper.
No matter which items you choose, you will be doing your part. And, by doing so, you will also be showing your customer that you care.

Promotional eco-gifts
The business world is becoming more involved with the health of the planet and is taking great strides to do its part. With more and more attention being focused on the environment, corporate responsibility is at the forefront with many organisations developing environmental targets. Purchasing environmentally friendly promotional products makes a statement about your company’s commitment to making the world a better place. There are many environmentally friendly products that make great promotional gifts.
Why are eco-products so important? First of all, using products made from recycled materials saves valuable natural resources. Another reason is that recycled promotional items bring special benefits to both the buyer and the environment. Yet another reason is that eco-products are often self sustaining and save energy.
There are many recycled products on the market to choose from, each of which can be given with a sense of responsibility and pride. Recycled items may include anything from paper goods to apparel to office supplies.
Many products include information about the recycled content that was used in the item’s manufacture. There are also many recycled products which are recyclable, adding an extra bonus for the eco-conscious client. Plus, you are not only showing that you care about the environment but that you care about your customer as well.
Remember, going green is the responsible way to treat the earth; not only that, but earth friendly promotional items will aid sustainability while providing the opportunity to educate and reinforce how important conservation is for everyone.

Make your customer feel special with promotional gifts
Everyone likes to feel appreciated, to be special. Promotional gifts are one way of appreciating or rewarding your customers for their business and their loyalty. In giving promotional gifts, you are also showing that your customer is a special part of your business. The gift may or may not be anything extravagant, but the feeling it gives the recipient is very valuable. Everybody likes to feel special. Promotional gifts can serve a dual purpose in this area, promoting your company while rewarding those responsible for your success.
A promotional gift is even more effective when it is personalised for the recipient. These items may be easiest to choose for people who are in direct contact with the customer. These usually include salespeople who frequently have a personal connection as well as a business relationship with the customer. Even if the person is simply an acquaintance, a visit to the company most often reveals clues as to what might be an appropriate gift or reward. People tend to display their outside interests to brighten the workplace décor.
Try to stick to items that are useful. For example, if you know that your customer is an avid golfer, consider giving a set of golf balls, recycled wooden tees, or a personalised golf towel. These items will let your customer know that you pay attention and that the client is an important part of your world.
While promotional gifts are designed to promote your company, think of a personalised gift as a twofold item.
