Holiday Gifts - Picture Woven






Many times I have talked about the Picture Weave items. Becuase they have been so popular with our clients and they have all loved them I thought I would talk about them again.









For those of you that do not know what I am talking about check out this testimonial from Scott Seibert! Doesn’t it look like his dogs are sitting on the couch? The blankets are unbelievable with the detail they are able to show. They have been a huge hit ever since I started providing them to customers!



The best thing about these throws, purses, totes and wall hangings is that the picture is actually woven into the product, not printed on it like most other options. I can also over the printed products to my customers but when I found these I decided that there was not contest! These are 100 times better!! If you are interested in seeing on in person, contact me and I am more than happy to show you one. Here are some pictures to you have an idea on what I am talking about.



If you really like monograms but are up for something new or do not really want embroider then check out these new options!



Remember, these items are woven and not printed so they take longer to produce. If you are thinking about doing something like this for Holiday Gifts, give yourself 4 weeks! They do not always take that long but make sure you leave yourself enough time so they are not a late gift!

Using Bags as Gifts

In the last post, I talked about wrapping gifts for customers. The last item I showed you is one of my favorite logoed items. I like it because it is so practical and can be used over and over again. In fact, I just keep a Therm-O-Tote in my car filled with other logoed shopping bags. Before I go into a store I grab the one bag and am off. I am constantly reminded of who gave me the bags or of my own logo. Not only that, but the others around me see the logoed bags! Another example of a walking advertisement!

Since the holidays are almost upon us, have you thought about using using this wrapping idea as a GIFT? Why not use a couple of different sized bags or three of the same size and giving those as your holiday gift? You might even have requests from others in the office once they see what you have given!

Because these bags fold up flat, they wrap nicely. They also wrap up well with logoed ribbon. Nothing to throw away, only things that can be recycled!

Would you like to see some samples of these great holiday gifts?

Seeing your logo even when it is dark out!

Last week I attended a Holiday Promotional Product Trade show. The suppliers had many ideas for the holidays as well as some new items.

One of the unique items that I saw was a called a Smashlight™! I thought it was great because it looks like a typical flashlight but it is really flat! This makes it perfect to put into your pocket or purse, therefore you will always have light with you.
The Smashlight™ also includes:
  • a wrist cord
  • magnetic back, making it easy to keep this light around.
  • 2 LED Bults to make super bright light
  • 2 Lithium Batteries
  • Product Size: .3125" x 1.5" x 5"
  • 1 or 2 color Imprint
  • Imprint Area: .75" tall x 2.25" wide
Another great thing about the SmashLight is that it is made by a local, Indianapolis company called Bentcil! I have a sample one of these as well if you would like to see one!

Picture Purse

Finally I have a picture of my purse!  I am a little under the weather and have not been keeping up with my blog so I thought that I would at least add some pictures.

I have been promising a picture of my picture woven purse and I finally have one to share!  This picture was taken last week at the Fishers Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours.  It obviously was a Holiday themed event and even with Santa present!!

In this first picture, Santa is pointing to Nathan and Lisa and telling me what good kids they have been!  (No that is not a glass of wine in my hand . . .it is empty!)

In this picture I am telling Santa what a good girl I have been and what I want for Christmas (remember that Wii!)

So, what do you think?

Do you want to give one of these purses for a holiday gift?  We are running out of time to get one ordered for a Christmas gift!  If you still want one, give me a call as soon as possible (or email works too since I do not have a voice)!!

They are a wonderful gift that will be treasured for a long time!
