5 Tips for Choosing the Best Promotional Product Holiday Gifts

Believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner. Start planning now to be prepared to show appreciation for your staff members, clients, and prospective customers with these five easy holiday gift buying tips.


1. Order Early

The holiday season sneaks up on people—the warm fall weather lulls people into forgetting that winter, and the holiday season, will soon be here. Don’t wait until it's too late, or you'll run the risk of having your favorite holiday gift selling out. Hot sellers seem to run out of stock each season, so order now to avoid out of stocks and rush charges.

2. Be Inspired by Retail
Your gift recipients enjoy holiday gifts that are similar to what they see as hot sellers in the stores. Think brand names (like Cutter & Buck for garments, Godiva chocolates, or Cross pens) and keep an eye on popular trends such as fitness bands for gift inspirations. Another retail trend to emulate in your Holiday plans is gift packaging, such as taking a stainless steel tumbler and packaging it in a custom gift box that will enhance the gift experience.

5 Unique Executive Holiday Gift Ideas

Buying Holiday gifts is hard when you don't know the recipient all that well. Kids, partners, parents, these are all people who are reasonably easy to buy for. You know their personal preferences really well, and if you happen to miss the mark on a gift one year, you know they’ll still love you anyway. 

However, every year there are work gifts to buy - to thank valued customers or suppliers, people on your executive team or Board members, or for your best employees. Sure, you work with them for a good portion of your week, but you may not get too much in to the details of what that person wants for the holidays.

Your best bet for getting something they’ll love is going with something practical, but also something they probably wouldn’t get for themselves.

Here’s a few of our favorite unique executive gifts that fit the bill:

Double Wall Thermal Tumbler

Professional go-getters tend to all have one thing in common, they love their coffee. And while we think coffee is one of the best things in the world, cold coffee is easily one of the worst. This double wall thermal tumbler keeps cold coffee from ever being a problem as it’s insulated with medical grade 304 stainless steel liner and features adjustable temperature controls (90C | 194F maximum). And on the off chance the person you’re gifting to doesn’t like coffee, this double wall tumbler works just as well with soups and other beverages.

World Traveller Digital Luggage Scale

We’ve all experienced that moment of stepping up to the check-in counter at the airport, fingers crossed, praying that our bags aren’t overweight (an unfortunate event that can make a trip $100 more than you were anticipating). Let your executives kick that worry to the curbside check in desk with the World Traveller Digital Luggage Scale. This portable, electronic scale comes with a convenient hand grip and displays your bag’s weight with an easy-to-read LCD display.

Rain or Shine Light

Ideal for executives who commonly leave work after the sun has gone down, this light features 6 LED lights in the handle and four lights for use as a flashlight and 2 red for emergency flashing. The added bonus? This flashlight also doubles as an umbrella! So no getting caught in the rain or the dark with this in your bag. Your gift recipient will hang on to this gift seeing your company's logo for a long time.

The Sportula Grilling Spatula

Have a sports-loving executive who loves to break our the grill on game days? Gift them this heavy-duty stainless steel grilling spatula, which you can have laser-cut to reflect the logo of your business or organization. In addition to being a strong and sturdy spatula that can stand up to the biggest burgers on the grill, this spatula also features a convenient bottle opener at the top of the handle.

Chateau Rosewood Wine Box with Wine Toolset

If you have a group of wine lovers on your hands, you can’t go wrong with the Chateau Rosewood Wine Box. In addition to a beautiful rosewood box for carrying, this gift also comes with a 5-piece tool set including a wine opener, stopper, spout, drip stopper and wine thermometer. Choose your own wine to include, and voila, your gift is complete! Your logo will stand out on the beautiful gift box.

Now that you’ve got a solid start on ideas, it’s time to place your order, because the holiday season is here and everyone will be headed out for vacation before you know it!
