1. Cookie tins are collected by so many people. They use them as decoration for the holiday season, they re-gift them and they use them to keep the cookies they bake during the holidays fresh.  Each year you can design your own full color cookie tin. Don’t forget to add the year, so everyone will know when the cookies were given. Just like holiday ornaments, you can allow your recipients to design a full color cookie tin lid with a yearly contest, or you can have your art department come up with a great design and theme it around the holidays. Either way, you now have a holiday gift that is not only delicious but your business clients can look forward to receiving.
2. Holiday Ornaments can come in many shapes and sizes. I am sure you have heard of the 12 days of Christmas right? Well, think about giving one of the 12 days each year. Each ornament depicts each phrase of the song, and on the back of the ornament you can add your logo or message.  – Or if you are creative, have a contest with your organization’s clients or employees to compete to create a collectible  design for each ornament.  You can even create your own scented ornaments too.  A good example is a custom gingerbread ornament that one of our clients created last year that was made out of the same material that car air fresheners are made from – complete with its own gingerbread scent. The design opportunities are endless.
3. Does your company deliver goods in trucks, cars or by train?  There are many hand crafted trucks, semi trailers, and trains that can have your logo imprinted on the side of these collectible gifts and shipped with candy or nuts to your recipient. Each year you can send a wooden collectible from a different time period to your holiday gift recipients and they will have a collectible to treasure. Each time they look at this gift they will think of you.

These are just the top three business gift ideas that can make a holiday gift a joy to give as well as receive.  There are many more ideas in the market place.

Of those surveyed, 55% say they use promotional pens in their recruiting efforts, and 41% use logoed items like T-shirts, calendars and high-tech accessories in conjunction with hiring. This enhanced use of ad specialty items in recruiting efforts comes as companies are increasing their rate of hiring recent college graduates. After several slow years, employers are actively recruiting on campuses again, and hiring is up 19.3% for 2011 college graduates compared to the Class of 2010, according to surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, a research group.

When it comes to attracting top grads, unusual and useful branded items are essential to drive word-of-mouth conversation and branding exposure, said Jessica Miller-Merrell, CEO of Xceptional HR, a human resource consulting firm. “Companies need to bring their A game to job fairs, conferences and other events where they recruit and engage candidates,” said Miller-Merrell. “Items need to be original, interesting and applicable to the audience. Interactive giveaways are one of the most effective tools, as well as interesting and unusual pins and items that appeal to the audience.”

Remember, uunprotected skin can be damaged by the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays in as little as 15 minutes. Yet it can take up to 12 hours for skin to show the full effect of sun exposure. CDC is an advisory member of the National Council for Skin Cancer Prevention , which has designated the Friday before Memorial Day “Don’t Fry Day ” to encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. By handing out promotional sunscreen and custom logo lip balm at your next outing you will be not only helping to save your attendees from sunburn, you will get a little exposure too!
