We only have a few months before the season of giving is upon us. The time to plan is now. There are plenty of people that you deal with in business that you need to show some appreciation to. If you feel that things you may have given before are not the right thing this year, there are some creative answers that you can come up with using promotional products.

You want to provide them with a creative and unique gift that is not only useful but thoughtful.  And surely you don't want to spend too much but you also don't want to send an item that seems cheap.  It is an age old dilemma and one that many a business owner is struggling with.

It is not only employees that you must think of but clients as well. Maybe you have a boss that has been especially good to you and feel the need to thank him. For your clients you should stick to items that that they can use in their day to day business hours. It could also be something that will remind them of you.

If you want people to be impressed then at least think about the gift that you give. Don't go digging through the corporate merchandise closet and pull out last summers left over t-shirts or caps. Unless you are handing them to a local craft group to make each one into a one of a kind sort of item. There are some fancier promotional items to be used.

Think about great items that your clients would like and that they will see on a regular basis.  Items like promotional picture frames or desk top toys for the office.  These items are useful and make for nice gifts.  Promotional glassware also makes a nice holiday gift item, especially nice glass containers filled with holiday treats.  Promotional food items also make great holiday gifts especially when filled with a rich variety of holiday goodies.  Be sure to let your clients know that you are thinking about them this holiday season and order your promotional items early so that you can get a jump on the holiday season.
