1. Caffeine buzz: Is any object in the teacher lounge more cherished than the coffee maker? Make the teacher's lounge, and the coffee, even nicer with brand new mugs. Outfit the lounge with a set of C-Handle 11 Oz. Ceramic Mugs. There's room to include your school's logo as well as a welcoming message. To make the surprise even better, provide bags of gourmet coffees and lay out a feast of muffins and pastries.
2. Hot or cold, it's ready to go: They've got their coffee in the break room, but they need coffee in the classroom, too! Travel mugs are a convenient way to bring along your beverage, whether driving in your car or grading papers after class. Something like the 16 oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug makes a handsome teacher gift with its modern, high-end look. You can make the mug even more special by attaching a note to the handle and putting a big bow on top. It can also be filled with candy or small school supplies.
3. A convenient carryall: You'd think they were about to go on an overseas trip with as much stuff as teachers have to carry around. Teachers are always in need of a sturdy tote bag to stay organized. The Extra Large Zippered Tote is a stylish bag featuring a large front color panel that's perfect for customizing. The Extra Large Zippered Tote is a fantastic gift all on its own, but you can make it even better by stashing some goodies inside. How about tucking in some notebooks, folders, and pens?
4. A place for everything, and everything in its place: Staying organized is how teachers stay sane. Tote bags with plenty of pockets, compartments, and dividers are a lifesaver. You can help keep your teachers extra-organized with an Eclipse Travel Tote. They'll love the special pockets that hold individual pens and pencils. Side mesh pockets are a convenient place to store a cell phone, PDA, or calculator. All those handy little pockets are just begging to be filled with some personalized school supplies before you give out these teacher gifts.
   

The first day of school is almost here, so it's time to get moving on your welcome back teacher gifts. A thoughtful gift paired with creative presentation is the winning combination.

Every year, American consumers throw out close to one hundred billion plastic bags. Stats like this have prompted people to forego the plastic and take home their purchases in a tote bag. This trend makes tote bags an ideal promotional product for the days leading up to Earth Day.
If you participate in a community Earth Day event that presents an opportunity for handing out large numbers of totes, the Non-Woven Promotional Tote is a good choice. It comes in eye-catching colors like pink and purple. After all, recipients are much more likely to carry tote bags they find attractive.

The best promotional products are those that last for years. A tote bag made from heavy canvas will stand up to the wear and tear of trips to the grocery store, the library, and the gym. The Heavy Cotton Canvas Boat Tote is sturdy and comes in a subdued beige that can be accented with colored handles.

An Earth Day gift would make a fun surprise for an important customer or valued employees. A bag like the Eclipse Travel Tote is appropriate for work and is big enough to tuck your lunch into—doing away with the paper bags that wind up in the garbage.

Earth Day also prompts people to take a day to soak up nature, perhaps with a camping trip. Additionally, the majority of Earth Day-related events are held outdoors. Both situations call for a comfy place to sit.

When participating in (or hosting) an Earth Day event you want to get recognition for your contributions. Offer your employees a comfy seat for taking a breather with the affordable #1 Camp Chair on the Web printed with your logo in big bold print. Its heavy duty steel frame can support up to three hundred pounds, so it will hold up to the task of accommodating all those volunteers!

As Earth Day rolls around, camp chairs also make a nice gift for employees, customers, and vendors. Encourage them to enjoy a day in the sun by giving them a chair like the Classic Striped Beach Chair. It's the perfect shape for lounging on the beach. For comfortable tanning, it comes with an attached, coordinating pillow.

For those who prefer to commune with nature in the woods, a camping-friendly chair will really be appreciated. Warm weather is already rolling around come April. To help your recipients beat the heat, you can give them a chair like the Cool Breeze Mesh Folding Chair with Carry Bag. The mesh material allows breezes to pass through and keeps you cool on sunny spring afternoons.

Promotional products that are tied in with holidays are always a hit. Don't miss out on this opportunity to impress your clients and customers with your commitment to social responsibility. Promotional camp chairs and tote bags say that while Earth Day comes but once a year, we care 365 days a year.
