The company picnic is a long-standing tradition in the business world. Improve upon the tradition this summer by going green! Here are some simple ways you can have an environmentally-friendly company picnic.

No picnic is complete without a wide array of cold, delicious beverages…which also means piles of discarded plastic or Styrofoam cups. This year, serve your drinks in a reusable cup, such as the Best Stainless Travel Mug. With all your employees using the Best Stainless Travel Mug at your picnic, they won't be contributing to the 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups Americans throw out every year.

When you're buying all those burgers and hot dogs, be sure to carry your purchases in a reusable tote bag. The Classic Cotton Meeting Tote is an affordable alternative to the billions of plastic bags that end up in our oceans, killing more than 100,000 marine mammals and turtles every year.

Another way to reduce your use of plastic bags is to order up some 100% Post Consumer Recycled Deluxe Tote Bags. These Earth-friendly totes make excellent employee appreciation gifts to hand out during your picnic. With 600 plastic bags being thrown out each second in the U.S., an attractive, sturdy tote like this one can really make a difference.

You'll enjoy your picnic even more knowing that you're minimizing your environmental footprint. Be sure to separate your recyclables from the rest of the trash to recycle after the picnic is over!

You can help keep morale high by recognizing your hardworking employees for the contributions they make. Awards ceremonies can be a bit dull, so make it more fun by handing out employee recognition gifts at a summer event.

A handsome plaque is the traditional way to recognize a top employee. A Small Esquire Plaque Award is a memento your employees can display with pride. For something more modern and decorative, you can opt for the Small Crystal Tower Award. Made from the finest Jade crystal, it will certainly earn a prominent place on your employee's desk. Awards like these serve as daily reminders of how much you appreciate your employees.

Awards are nice, but they're even better when accompanied by a cool, useful gift. A silver Analog Desk Clock is an attractive, valuable gift perfect for recognizing special team members.

There's no question that your employees will love a Reflections 1.5" Digital Photo Frame. It's a high-tech way to show off their family photos! Here's a tip for making this great gift extra special: preload it with an image saying "Thank you for everything you do!"

This summer, plan an employee picnic and top off the day by presenting employee recognition gifts and awards. You'll reenergize and refocus your team during these months when vacation daydreams are taking over everyone's thoughts!

No family reunion is complete without personalized souvenirs to commemorate the occasion. When you're planning your family reunion this summer, be sure to include cool promo items featuring your family name and the date of the big event.

Here are the top four promotional products for family reunion gifts:

1. Baseball hat: Most summer-time family reunions are held outdoors. A baseball cap with your family's name printed on the front will protect you from the sun. The Price Buster 5 Panel Cap's buy one get one free pricing is affordable for even the biggest of families.
2. T-shirt: T-shirts are a must-have, no doubt about it! The Dark Colors 100% Cotton Short Sleeve T-Shirt is a good choice because of the wide variety of stylish colors. Tip: Print your family tree on the back of your t-shirts!
3. Can cooler: Can coolers will keep your beverages ice cold, and they can be enjoyed long after the reunion is over. The No Slip Can Cooler comes in fun colors like lime and orange.
4. Sports Bottle: Everyone can write their name on their sports bottle with a marker and use it the whole afternoon - and of course take it home as a gift! The 28 oz. Sports Bottle is a convenient squeeze bottle priced right for buying in bulk.

This summer, don't send your relatives away empty-handed after your family reunion. Give them gifts they'll love and continue to use (or wear as the case may be!) throughout the years.

Come on in, the water's fine! As the weather heats up, people are heading to the beach to cool off. Take full advantage of the summer season with promotional beach items. Check out our five favorite reasons for using surf-and-sand freebies in your next marketing campaign.

• The great outdoors: Your logo doesn't belong stuck in a drawer! It should be out in the sun for all to see. By their very nature, promotional beach items are meant to be outside where they can be seen by potential customers. The Budget Beater 8 Pound Beach Towel is the perfect example. Giving out promotional beach towels is as good as buying beachfront advertising space!

• Fun in the sun: With promotional beach items, your customers are seeing your logo while they're having a good time. It will build positive associations with your brand.

• All summer long: You know that you've got at least three solid months of exposure with beach items. Every time your customer spends the day at the lake, beach or neighborhood, your Beach Mat will come along!

• Multi-purpose: Lots of beach-themed items have other uses as well. For instance, the Pacific Trail Cooler can be taken to ball games or used as a lunch bag. When the leaves have turned and the kids are back in school, your customers will still be sporting your logo around town.

• Perennial appearances: When the shorts and sandals come out of the closet, so too will your beach-themed promotional products. Your customers will use these giveaways every summer for years to come.
