Tis the season for gift giving!  It's that time of year to spread cheer and say thank you with a token of appreciation to your top customers, valued employees, even your key suppliers.  A logoed item ensures that your company will be remembered long after the gift is given.  And if it is a useful and popular item, you can be sure your brand will be seen over and over again.  So, what are the hot items this year?  We've put together the top 5 promotional ideas for companies to give this holiday season.

1.    Ipad Accessories - The ipad craze is not a phase, it is here to stay and changing the way we get information and communicate.  According to a Fortune Magazine poll, Apple sold between 15 and 23 million iPads in the third quarter of 2012 alone.  This growing population of users needs accessories to complement their favorite electronic.  Companies who put their logo on an iPad accessory demonstrate that they are progressive and forward-thinking.  New promotional iPad accessories are being introduced often at varied price points.  If you want the most cutting edge corporate gift this season, make it an iPad accessory.

2.    Acrylic Tumblers - You've seen them in your favorite coffee shop, on the desk of a coworker and in car cup holders all over the country.  Acrylic tumblers with straws in different sizes and edgy styles.  With the populations growing environmental concerns and an increased focus on reusable drinkware, acrylic tumblers are a popular retail trend.  Add your brand to that trend, and give a fun and functional gift that won't break your budget.

3.    Blankets - Bringing your logo into the home is a great way to increase your brand recall rate.  Blankets are the in-demand promotional item for the home this year. There are a wide variety of blankets and price points to consider for your holiday gift.  From outdoor picnic options to plush blankets that make you want to curl up on your couch, you can't go wrong with a logo blanket.

4.    Chairs - From the soccer field to the outdoor concert to the campfire, portable chairs are a necessity in almost every family.  A great promotional item for almost every audience, chairs are topping the list this year.  When your recipient pulls that much needed chair out of their trunk at his or her son's next soccer game, you can be sure your company will be remembered - in a good way!  With a high perceived value, chairs are a go to item for the holidays.

5.    Food Storage Containers - Did you know that more than half of office-working Americans do not leave their desk for lunch?  That means that these people are likely bringing their own lunch to work.  Food storage containers are a great inexpensive gift for anyone bringing their lunch to work on a daily basis.  There are some super-functional new options for soups, salads, sandwiches and more.  If you have a limited budget for your holiday gift this year, storage containers are a great option.

Whether you decide to follow the trends this holiday season, or come up with your own great gift idea, don't forget to say thank you to those who impact your business with a functional gift they will remember throughout the entire year.

Every year come late December, we swear that we'll never leave our gift shopping to the last minute again. The problem with last-minute shopping isn't just the crowded stores and lack of parking spaces. Even when you shop online the holiday rush can be a hassle. Now is the right time to start buying your holiday gifts, especially if you plan to shop online.

Online stores, just like brick-and-mortar shops, sometimes sell out of their most popular products.
