July 6, 2009 American Independence Day – Wimbledon, School Holidays and lots of Sunshine?
American Independence Day – Wimbledon, School Holidays and lots of Sunshine? We hope so!
Not been too bad weather wise – in fact, don’t like to moan, but much to hot for me, and animals have suffered a bit – too hot during the day to work, and too hot at night to sleep.
This adds up to grumpy people!
How to cheer them up? Lots of fun giveaways, printed items such as Beach Balls, Frisbees, Cool straw hats, caps and suncream – printed or embroidered towels and lots more too many to mention.
Some companies are looking ahead to Autumn, and want costs on keyrings, pens, USB sticks, and sweets etc. Some have a budget, but need some ideas – Happy-Play Promotions are very happy to help.
Green shoots of recovery appearing? So the rumour goes – and this leads me to a super item which can be used for adults or children.
Grow your own:-
4 leaf clover, Christmas Tree, Venus Fly Trap, Sunflower etc. Lots of eye-catching seed items- presented in smart container, which can be personalised with your logo and text. For children it presents a unique opportunity to care for a living thing. It is such fun to see the green shoots appearing, waiting till they grow into the pot, transplanting and then seeing it happen all over again.
My own two Christmas trees are now about a metre tall, and have taken 6 years to grow to that height!
Eco items are very popular – you have all seen the Bags for Life in supermarkets – an eco-friendly bag can be printed with your logo – how many times do you think your logo is looked at during the course of a shopping expedition. From whatever budget you want to spend – you could have one that folds up neatly for a pocket or handbag, or one with rope handles, or perhaps you are giving away some bottles of wine – what nicer presentation could you hope for than an eco friendly jute bag with your logo – VERY stylish!
On a personal note – Sally and her horse are off to training camp in August, for possible selection for the English Internationals. Great weekend planned – just need the weather.
The week prior to that – she is off to the British Dressage Summer Regionals. Lots of competition at both events, so wish her luck!
