Branded Wine Bottles

What says Holidays more than wine or bubbly? There’s nothing more festive than tasty wine. A branded wine bottle is a great idea for the holidays, not only will it make your clients happy, but it’s a great opportunity to showcase your brand. You can get your choice of wine starting at $9.99 on Amazon. Then get your very own custom made wine labels to make it unique. It's as cool as it sounds, just look at this fab example: [caption id="attachment_6583" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Image Credit: BRND WGN corporate gift to clients in 2011.

You can be fancy like them and get hang tags or bottle neck hang tags and a wine box to boot (not as expensive as that wooden one though!). Their campaign "have a drink on us" was a success. You can do the same. Be that guy. [caption id="attachment_6584" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Image Credit: BRND WGN corporate gift to clients in 2011.

Branded Calendars

The season's go-to, and for a reason. A branded calendar is a great option for holiday gifts; it’s something useful that you can give your clients that they can keep year-round. A gorgeous calendar makes sure that they’ll be looking at your logo and thinking about your company month after month -even if subconsciously. The trick is making it attractive. If you own a flower shop instead of the typical arrangement think a little outside the box. Make it something that you would like on your wall. You can choose a theme that best suits your company, there are no limitations! At 4OVER4.COM, we have saddle stitched and wire-o calendars, with the months already set up for you . Just look at this beautiful example, breathtaking: [caption id="attachment_6585" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Image Credit: Paul Chmielowiec and Petal+ Leaf collaboration.

Cater to your clients’ sweet tooth (and coffee obsession) by giving them a personalized coffee mug with your company logo -but in an unobtrusive and fun way. Personalized mugs are unique and memorable. Order a personalized coffee mug with a beautiful design like this penguin. Who wouldn't want to sip hot chocolate or tea from this guy?
