- Select items that eliminate waste. Eight out of ten disposable plastic water bottles sold in the U.S. end up in landfills. Products like stainless water bottles and nonwoven shopping totes can be used again and again, potentially eliminating tons of garbage.
- Make sure your products can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. Many eco items now carry tags with recycling instructions.
- Go organic! Organic cotton is great for bags and apparel. Best of all, it's made without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
- Try corn plastics. Daily, 10% of U.S. oil consumption goes to plastic production. Corn plastic is made from a renewable resource, reduces our dependence on foreign oil and takes 65% less energy to produce than conventional plastics.
- Tap into the simplicity trend. Functional products that save money will be kept and used, keeping your clients engaged with your brand.

Yes, it's only October 12, but the holidays will be here before you know it. And while it seems a little early to start thinking about your promotional gift needs, it's not. Here's why:
- Because factories have drastically cut production in response to the recession, we expect to see shortages of some of our most popular items, especially as the holidays get closer.
- We can often get much better pricing with longer lead times, especially on large quantity orders.
- It's one less thing to worry about during a very hectic time of year. Ordering early can also help you avoid unnecessary rush charges.
- Concerned about storing your gifts? Not a problem. We can warehouse your order and deliver it at a time you choose.
Convinced? We've gathered some great gift ideas in our Holiday Gift Center. And as always, if you don't see exactly what you need, call us and we'll find it for you.
