With the holidays right around the corner and all the stores force feeding you Christmas music and decor, it's crystal clear that it is time to start Christmas shopping. In years past since no one tells me what they want, my Christmas shopping typically consists of getting lots of gift cards and some small gifts for the family members. But this year I am doing things a little different. With all of the amazing logoed gifts we have here, there is no limit to the gift ideas. 

The guy's gifts are easy. Any one of the imprinted executive games would make my brother-in-law and uncle super happy and keep them busy. Now that we have the newest addition to the family (Baby Michaela, my niece), I personally think that a custom digital frame would be perfect for mom, grandma and great-grandma. Don't forget some promotional gift baskets for co-workers, friends and neighbors. And for those stocking stuffers check out promotional gifts under $10.

Saturday night I was driving with a friend when I got stuck behind a bus. Now typically this would be an annoying experience but this particular bus had the most original marketing poster I have seen all year. If you own a computer, radio or have been walking around town lately, you are sure to have seen the advertisments for Energy Sheets, the newest line of energy products. With a clever catch phrase, "I take a sheet..." featuring a pilot "taking a sheet in the cockpit" and a police officer "taking a sheet at a crime scene" it is hard to forget these promotional posters.

Celebs have also been seen sporting Energy Sheet promotional products such as custom t-shirts and promotional hats. Singer Pitbull is such a fan of Energy Sheets, that he is featured in several advertisments. There is no denying that whoever was behind this idea, is a marketing genius!

As most people in the office know, I am OCD when it comes to organizing… except when it comes to my car. At any given time I have at least 2 half empty water bottles on the floor, I still have a promotional snow brush in my back seat from last winter and don’t even get me started on my trunk. My trunk was a mess. Up untill a few weeks ago I still had stuff from my wedding (which was in March) in my trunk. So when I saw the Leeds Trunk Caddy, I had to have it! There are so many nifty items that can help keep your car clean and organized. Promotional Auto Organizers are great for any driver and any car. 

Not only do we have promotional products for inside of your car, but we also have items for the outside as well. Between out vast collection of custom imprinted bumper stickers and promotional magnetic car signs, you can turn any vehicle into a moving billboard. Unless you want to use dirt to display your company name or message, I would also reccomend getting a custom imprinted car wash kit to keep your car looking its best.

With Labor day around the corner, I can't help but think about back to school and the start of fall. I always remember how much I used to love back to school shopping. I loved when I would put all my new school supplies into my new backpack. With so many different colors, sizes and styles, you can use these promotional backpacks for school, work or almost anything else you can think of. I know with my moving coming up, it'll be much easier to pack a few personalized sling backpacks than to carry a bunch of boxes. You can use a promotional eco-friendly drawstring bag as a gym bag, lunch bag, or even as an everyday bag. Also, with the holidays coming soon, custom backpacks make great gifts for friends and family as well as customers and employees. Whatever you do, don't leave home without your backpack. You never know when you may need it.

Memorial Day has become the unofficial start of summer. And this weekend, summer was out in full force. I know some people spent their weekend at the beach and others at barbeques. No matter what your plans were, I am sure the heat got you. That is why I love my promotional polo shirts. With so many styles and colors, I can beat the heat in style. If you are a golfer, you will love our line of embroidered eco friendly golf shirts. Not only are they fashionable, but it's free advertising while you are on the green. No matter if it is for yourself, your staff or your customers, promotional performance polos are a great treat and the perfect promotional product. So, no matter how you spend your summer, try to beat the heat in style by always wearing a 100% cotton custom polo.

With all the we have to do and worry about each day, it's no wonder why so many people are taking medicine to calm down. But why spend more money and time going to the doctor when you can calm your self down for very little. Promotional stress balls are a cheap and fun way to relax after a long day. For those who suffer road rage or people who spend a lot of time commuting, custom stress reliever key chains come in handy. With so many colors, shapes and sizes, it is so easy to personalize a stress ball for your company. You don't even have to be sqeezing for the stress relievers to do their job. Our adorable promotional stress ball characters cheer you up just looking at. Put one in your desk, car or backpack and you will be stress free in no time.

I just recently got a new computer. My old desktop was slow and had seen better days, but all of my music and photos are on it. It would take forever to restart my music collection and I do not have the patience to sit there and move each individual file over. Thankfully, I don't have to. With my handy promotional flash drive, it is so easy to get everything from one computer to the other. The great thing about flash drives is that with all the different size memories, they are great for personal and professional use. Our imprinted USB pens are great for your employees and/or customers. With tradeshow season in full bloom, you want something that will draw people in. I don't know anyone who can't use an eco-friendly USB memory stick. Good for the environment and for business. You can even put some information about your company on one of these great promotional items. Everyone wins!

With my wedding only a few weeks away, I have a lot of planning and packing to do. With all the running around, it's nice to have all my things with me and organized. Promotional tote bags are a great way to do that. I am a very organized person. I like to have a place for everything and everything in its place (cheesy, I know). I am also addicted to bags. Handbags, messenger bags, tote bags... you name it. To me, the best ones are the most convenient; bags with pockets and zippers or bags that fold up for easy storage. Personalized folding totes are good for anything from food shopping to favors. Stick it in your car, desk or closet. It's out of the way until you need it again. Don't forget beach season is coming up. A custom imprinted nylon tote bag is great to bring to the beach or pool. No matter what the occasion is, tote bags are great promotional products.

I'm just going to come right out with it. I hate math, always have. It's not my best subject. Most of the time, I'll just pull out my calculator and let it do the thinking for me. Whether you are using it at work to crunch some numbers, or trying to figure out your part of the check at a restaurant, promotional calculators always comes in handy. I remember a few years ago, I went to a trade show with my dad. I am a sucker for free stuff so I was running around to every table grabbing anything I could. I came across a table that was handing out promotional desktop calculators. It was a flip top calculator. I used that calculator for years and after all this time, I still remember the company name. When you give your customers something unique or interesting, they tend to remember you more. That's where our promotional multifunction calculators come in handy. We have fun calculators for everyone from business men/women to kids. If your company is green, check out a solar powered calculator as well.

With my wedding right around the corner, there are lots of dates and deadlines that I need to remember. In order to do that, I have to have all appointments written down, sometimes in more then one place. That's why I need promotional calendars to keep me on track. At home I have my promotional wall calendars where I put all birthdays and household information. I prefer a cute calendar with puppies and kittens or beautiful scenery. It's a way to add some flair to your environment. Of course I can never leave home without my custom planners. Whenever I am on the go, it is nice to know that I have all the information I need with me. My hair salon gives out planners every January. It's a great way to get your customers in and while they are there, have them make an appointment. Just make sure they write it down!
