Pair it with a great book on smoothie options and you are giving the gift of health in the new year.
Outdoor Adventure Camp Stove

So perfect for the outdoor enthusiast or even the person that wants a great bonus item in case of emergency needs. With only a 2 piece minimum the options are endless on how you could use this great gift idea.
Outdoor Chair
Have you ever been on an outdoor adventure and really wanted a chair but didn’t want to have to pack a bulky chair to sit it? The Joey Chair answers that calling with it’s compact size when folded to be about the size of a loaf of bread and weighing 2 lbs. You now have no excuse to not have a chair with you. I have even used this chair on a Mexico camping trip with BOA and Portland Kayak Company and packed it in my suitcase because it is so small. Hands down my favorite chair of all time. Perfect for kids soccer games or concerts in the park or backpacking through the woods. TravelChair knows how to make high quality chairs.
Happy Hour – Cheers

Cozy Kit
The holidays mean different things to different people but most people can agree that it is a time for cozy time on the couch. Watching your favorite Hallmark movie or just relaxing with a hot cup of coffee and some NFL Football the gift of coziness is sure to resonate with customers and employees alike. Choose from a package of cozy components or a stand-alone item that will aid in your recipient’s coziness. Pick from a blanket (hundreds of options in all price points) a blanket, mug and cookies package or a more elaborate custom curated package. Want to keep the budget in check do a branded ceramic bowl candle in a custom box to give a gift that will last throughout the year and can be branded with a fun message that isn’t just an advertisement.
Home Theater Kit
This cinema home theater kit by iLive is the gift that everyone wants but may not go out and purchase for themselves. Great for holiday movies, football games and into Summer for outdoor movie time.
Gift of Fun
Talk about making memories, give your customers or employees the gift of fun with this 7-in-1 game set that is perfect for playing games with family and friends. Take it a step further and add a set of custom playing cards that are on brand for your company and team.
Travel Suitcase
The holidays are the perfect time to give the gift of a new suitcase. This suitcase is my top choice for carry on’s or weekend getaways. The design is so awesome once you use it you will not want to use any other. Do some subtle company branding on it and add a personalized luggage tag or fun luggage tag that has some personality to fit your culture. Now you are making your employees or customers travel easier this holiday season and beyond. I have used this suitcase so many times and it still looks brand new. The luggage tag is the only thing that shows wear and tear. Another great product by Ogio.
Tech Kit
Technology is always a hot item for the holiday gift giving season and this year is no different. We anticipate MagSafe will be a hot item at retail with stores like Target and Apple showcasing more and more accessories. Give the gift of a tech package that gives recipients a branded item that is both useful and cutting edge. For more information on MagSafe check out our Blog by Nate Bailey.
Power Bank with a Kick
You might be loving the MagSafe technology but want to kick it up a notch with more features this is the option for you. Offering a feature that turns this power bank into a convenient phone stand and for extra “powerful” branding your logo also lights up when the power bank is in use. A little extra WOW feature to light up your holiday gifts.
With all these different ideas I hope you aren’t even more conflicted. I have always said the best problem to have is to have too many items that you think are great. Then you can’t really make a bad decision.
