Gift Items for Christmas

As a business owner I like to give my employees and clients a Thank you gift for Christmas but I always like for it to be something that they would use and not just throw in a drawer. So this year, I am looking forward for promotional products because I am torn between a Coffee Cup and a Calender. Which one would you prefer? If it is a Coffee Cup what type of information would you like to have on it? Is a phone number or a email better? Is a Coffee Cup something that is stuck in a drawer and never used?

If you are a lady would you prefer a Tote Bag? Or do you have to many of them? If not what color would you like? If it has my business name on it would you use it? What other information other than the name of my business would you like for me to put on it?

I also saw some key chains but I was not sure if they would actually get used. What do you think about that? Would you be able to keep up with them or would they get lost? Or just stuck in a drawer never to be used?

Then I go back to the normal items everyone seems to give out which are pens as I Love all types of pens and I collect them but I also know from all the events I attend that I seem to amass a bunch of them and I usually stick them into a drawer until I need them and when I pull them out half the time I do not even know what company they are from or I just give them away and lose the information and sometimes it is a company I would like to shop with but I can not as I gave them away. So what would you say about a pen, ribbons and greeting cards as a Christmas corporate gifts? Is this a good ideal or a bad ideal?

As a business owner and a blogger both I am always trying to promote them.

Even though I Love making my own business cards  I get tired of always trying to find a design and make it look professional as I am not to good at this. As sometimes I would like to find new things I could afford. So today since I needed business cards and I also would like a T Shirt I thought I would browse the internet to see what promotional products I could find. I ended up on quite a few sights that I look so  If you have never lloked for business supplies on the internet  I would suggest you check it out.

I found a logo bag on this one  site that I want to order and the neat thing is I can order a sample for free to see if it is what I think it would be. As I would use them to give to my consultants who join me in my business.

Another thing I liked is that they have promotional bags so I could have Mommies Point of View put on one. Or What is Mommies Point of View or should I do The Voice of the People. Which one do you think people would ask about the most?

One thing they carry that I have not seen on any other site is sunglasses. I know I take mine everywhere with me and I always lay them down so think how many people would see the name of my business if I ordered a pair of them. I could even get my husband a pair. He is out a lot more than I am so I might as well out him to work and let him help me promote my blog and my business.

The only thing I did not find on the site was a pair of business cards but I can always go to some of the other sites I found or I could just make my own.
So if you have a business Please check them out and let me know what you think.

I do have a tip for bloggers just starting out and are looking for products to review they suggest you order a sample and write a review on it. So what better way to be able to do a review and get started than trying one of there products for free that will allow you to promote your business.
