4 Ideas Friday

Gift baskets are a great way to say thanks, send congratulations or celebrate just about any special occasion. Sending gifts to customers strengthens your relationship and shows how much you care about them. For the perfect promotional gift idea, remember to consider the recipient’s likes and interests. The more personal the promotional gift, the bigger impression it will have on the recipient. Here are some unique ideas to get you started.

Get a read on them
Nothing makes an avid reader happier than snuggling up with a good book, so make it easy for them. Start your basket with the Micro Mink Blanket, so they can cozy up with their current read. Help them keep eyeglasses close with the Dual-Use Cotton Lanyard/Eyewear Retainer. And for late-night reading, provide an ET Flex Light. Don’t forget to throw in the latest best-seller for a special touch.

Score big with sporty gifts
Whether they’re cheering in the stands or participating in the game, a sports-themed basket makes a fun idea for a gift. Tailor your basket to their favorite sport. Golfers will appreciate Golf Buddy tees paired with a Microfiber Golf Towel and a gift certificate to a local golf course. Tailgaters will love the Spectator Cooler Chair paired with favorite tailgating snacks. For comfortable viewing at any game, the Modern Stadium Seat makes a great gift—for added impact, throw in some game tickets.

Ideas to get cooking
Spice up your gift basket with accessories for the kitchen. Bundle several cooking gadgets together for a great gift. Be sure to include a logo’d Cotton Cooking Apron. The unique Adjustable Measure-Up Spoon portions out one-half teaspoon to 1 tablespoon, making it the only measuring spoon they’ll ever need. Your brand can join them every night for dinner on the Square Absorbent Stone Trivet. The Tablet or Recipe Book Stand, combined with a new cookbook, completes a perfect gift basket.

Give them a hand
Do you have a customer who just bought a new house or is finishing some home renovations? Say thanks with handy household tools. The Swiss Force® Meister Multi-Tool has 13 different tools that can be used for projects big and small. The 16' Carabiner Tape Measure clips to a belt, ensuring they can grab an exact measurement when needed. For use at home or when traveling, the City Lights Flashlight will brighten their day. Put the items in an All Purpose Utility Tote. It is perfect for organizing and transporting a complete tool set.

Go above and beyond the next time you decide to thank your customers. Promotional items make a big impression when combined in an impressive gift basket—reminding customers of your brand long after their special occasion.
