Office Supplies Can be Cool

Usually I wouldn't suggest giving office supplies as corporate gifts. However, for the young exec or trendy business woman, these are awesome presents! Package them together and you have a hip little collection of standard office supplies that will actually get used.

Logo on Wheels

I, personally, travel quite a bit and it's impossible to convey just how much I appreciate a good carry on bag. With checked baggage fees forever on the rise and overhead compartment space continuously shrinking, it's imperative to have a small bag that can carry pretty much everything. After all, travelers don't want to pay 100 dollars just to get a suitcase to their hotel for a one night business trip.

Which is why I love corporate luggage. I currently use a Wenger suitcase, which is almost identical to this Wenger Wheeled Duffel. It's perfect for a few day trip with a padded, waterproof compartment for electronics, latptops or breakables. The inside has a separate mesh carrier for toiletry items and a completely separated section for more discrete items. The wheels are durable (I've had mine for years and tend to travel with a lot of books), yet it's still overhead bin friendly.

For a different look the Wheeled Duffel by Cutter and Buck is also a great option. Professional men tend to gravitate towards this stylish leather bag, making it a perfect corporate gift.

'Tis the Season for Corporate Gifts

Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all approaching. With so many holidays coming, it can be a little crazy trying to find the perfect gift for clients and employees.

However, there is something that works well for all three occasions: fresh baked cookies!These cookies aren't your typical mini-chocolate chips. They are full-sized, soft baked goods.


Now you can buy the quality cookies packaged in boxes with festive bows tied around them for employee gifts. For a partner's office try the 33 piece box, imprinted with your company name.

You can also fill boxes with chocolate covered pretzels or nuts for the non-cookie lover. Recipients are sure to love these tasty treats!

Cooler + Music = Instant Good Time

Now here's something you don't see every day- a cooler with a CD/mp3 player and radio. It holds an impressive 30 cans, has full-power speakers and an auto power plug for convenience.

I can just hear all the football fans of the world giving overzealous high fives and popping the beer tabs as I write. This is the perfect fall gift from any corporation. The perceived value is incredibly high, meaning your recipient will believe you spent a fortune on them, making for instant appreciation.

In addition to perceived value, this unique gift is perfect for any weekend outing. If football games and tailgaiting aren't their thing, a day on the beach just might be. Or better yet, a backyard barbecue. Stuff this cooler with some imprinted koozies or reusable thermos mugs to get your name out there during every event. Recipients will be thrilled to use such a fun gift and you'll get more and more exposure as the day wears on.

This is probably one of my favorite corporate gifts ever. Combined fun, electronics and food. Nothing can beat that. Nothing at all.

Travel Friendly Bag for the Business Traveler

Corporate gifts should actually be used by the recipients. Paperweights are lovely, but how many people will see your logo when it's sitting atop a mass of papers on a messy desk?

Instead give something unique and practical, like a security friendly travel bag. Busy travelers will be glad to save time through the security line with these bags that unfold for easy x-ray scanning. There's no longer a need to yank a computer out just for security!

With your logo printed on the large surface of the bag, everyone around the globe will notice your company name.

More importantly, the recipient will appreciate getting something outside of the standard gift tower or box of chocolates. Plus, this travel bag will be used a lot longer than edible treats!

Make it a Set

An individual gift is a great choice for a quick thank you, or a little reminder. However, for the big appreciations and corporate giving consider something a little more in depth. Gift sets are the perfect solution.

Tech Set

For the technology savvy recipient, give something that will actually get used. The American Classic Tech Set has all the essentials for any laptop or desktop computer. The set includes a convenient optical mouse with retractable USB cable for easy charging, comfortable mousepad with wrist support, ballpoint pen and flash drive.

Print your logo right on the products for a quick reminder of your company every time your recipient sits down at his or her desk!

Wine Set


For any connoisseur, or even just a dabbler in the world of fine wine, this gift is always appreciated. A wine set gives your company a look of class and refinement. Perfect for the corporate atmosphere.

Make sure to pick the perfect bottle to go alongside your gift! Your company gift will be savored in every recipient's household after the 5'o'clock commute.

Breast Cancer Awareness Gifts

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year over 40,000 women will die from breast cancer, over 190,000 will be affected. Early detection can drastically reduce that number which is why awareness is key- encourage your friends and family members to get screened with unique promotional products. With a watch, umbrella or bracelet you can make a bigger difference than you'd ever imagine.

If your company has reservations about gifting pink items, check out the NFL Crucial Catch Campaign. Promotional pink products are no longer gender specific, making it a thoughtful and caring way to appreciate your top clients, all while supporting a valuable cause.

Electronics for Everyone

Even members of the corporate world like to sit back and enjoy some tunes once in a while. Next time your company is sending out a round of gifts consider the ever popular electronics option. Mp3 players, especially, are becoming a popular gift for any age group or gender.

The ShockWave Touchscreen Mp4 player is a professional and sleek device that allows busy business men and women to carry electronic documents, photos and music with them wherever they go.

For the traveling professional consider adding an imprinted battery charger so every time he or she recharges the mp4 player, your company's name will pop up once again. The perfect way to associate your name with reliability and care.

Relaxing Gifts for the Chronically Stressed

The corporate world is a hard place to be. Think about all the stress that's packed into one day- emails, board room meetings, company wide decisions, etc.

Give a gift that will provide a little rest in a long and crazy day. A cordless Feng Shui fountain is a great way to incorporate relaxing Feng Shui principles into any office. It doesn't require any work, just a few AA batteries, but the resulting calm will mean the world to your recipient.

According to ancient Chinese guidelines you can also increase the positivity in a work space just by adding a few mirrors, plants or essential oils for a nice smell. When gifting a fountain think of pairing some aromatherapy sticks with the package for a great Feng Shui starter kit.
