Working From Home During the Holidays

This year’s holiday season is different from previous years. Normally there are office parties, in-person get-togethers to celebrate this festive time to promote some team-.

Today many of the events are virtual or sadly not at all. Many of the suppliers realize the problem and are offering drop shipping. This is a plus because you can still inspire people and get ideas out. Plan inventive ideas to make them engaging, entertaining, and memorable.

Start working on teamwork. Now is a good time to offer items that will appeal to your users. Soup mugs are popular at this time of year due to the weather cooling down. You might find that as this pandemic continues more and more companies are going to go virtual. Sipping my soup with a special gift will inspire those to come with ideas. Make them warm and friendly.

My son-in-law works for a major corporation and they are all working remotely. There are no plans in the near future to go back.  Every time they think they will go back a new virus appeals.  This is going to be the norm. What managers are noticing that at home employees are actually more productive. Just because an employee works from home doesn’t mean that they do not need rewarded, as they do. This is where promotional products become more important.  Everyone likes to feel special. That little gift that says “Happy Holidays” or “Thank You” goes a long way.

You can send out festive decorating ideas. This year many of our Christmas ornaments are popular and fun. Another popular giveaway are desk plants.  We offer air plants which do not require much in the way of Maintenance. Even though holiday is almost over, it is still important to make your staff feel appreciated. You do not have to have a holiday party. When you look at the statics, they point out that employees feel appreciated when they receive a special gift from their employer. When your child does something well you compliment them. Doing the same for employees will go a long way to productivity

How Can I Stand Out

Candles are the Best

https://www.garrettspecialties.com/candles-c-35_1395.html


Relaxing Candles

Nothing warms a room like candles. Candles are used everywhere from the kitchen, board room or your office and during the holidays we decorate our homes with candles on mantles, kitchen tables or coffee tables. Candles are great festive items and why not show your logo and brand. Also remember that the next time your lights go you need those candles handy. Candles are great just light different spaces in your office at work or your home.

Today we now offer soy candles that are safe for the environment. You can get decorative looking candles and put them anywhere. We are always concerned about your safety. Never put candles near a table or in the window where they can fall and cause a fire.  Many companies are coming out with flameless candles but there is nothing like a real candle.

Logo Imprinted Candles

At least we are not like our ancestors that used candles to light. The earliest use of candles dates back to the ancient Egyptians and made torches by soaking the pithy core of reeds in melted animal fat. The earliest candles were originated in Han China around 200 BC. At that time candles were made from whole fat. Then by the 12th century, candle making became a real craft in England and France. I bet these candles really an odor.

Today candles emit scents that create feelings in the mind and body. If you go to a spa, they have candles burning. Also, they are great handouts at weddings and Christmas gifts. The good thing about handing out candles is that last a long time so your logo is around for a while.

Imprinted Travel Candles

When your recipients are cozy at home with their candle burning, they will think of your company. We also offer travel candles. A really wonderful scent has the power to transport a person somewhere else entirely. So even though many of us are working from home or cooped up in their apartment, but the right blend of scents can have them relaxing in no time.

Ornaments for the Holidays

https://www.garrettspecialties.com/holiday-ornaments-c-875_969.html

According webster the definition of Christmas ornaments+ a small ball, figurine, etc., that is hung on a Christmas tree for decoration

Glass ball ornaments are a classic Christmas tree tradition. Many people, including myself, still decorate their trees with these beautiful ornaments,

Christmas ornaments are usually made of blown glass, metal, wood, blown plastics, shattered proof or ceramics. German immigrants brought this practice to America in the 18th and 19th centuries, where it was promptly rejected by Puritanical religious groups for its historically pagan connotations. While it took a while to catch on, small communities of German-born settlers documented the continuation of this practice as early as the mid-1700s.

Glass ornaments

Glass baubles were first made in Lauscha, Germany, and also garlands of glass beads and tin figures that could be hung on trees. The popularity of these decorations grew into the production of glass figures made by highly skilled artisans with clay molds. Germany had the market on glass ornaments until 1925, then came Japan. Czechoslovakia, and Poland entered the marketplace in the 1920’s where they would have blown glass ornaments. Ornaments finally made their way into the US in 1973 by Hallmark as they started manufacturing keepsake ornaments.

In comes Christopher Radko from Poland. Christopher’s start was not typical in starting a business. When a Christmas tree fell and startled the Radko family. With over 1,000 vintage mouth-blown glass ornaments broken to bits, Christopher was distraught. Searching endlessly to replace them, he found nothing quite good enough to replace his treasured memories. He soon realized that the only option was to start from scratch. Thus began the creation of Christopher Radko Ornaments. With nothing but his Christmas memories to build upon, Christopher enlisted a Polish glassblower and went to work recreating his family’s lost heirlooms. 

In order for you to make a Christmas ornament your own we offer a variety of Christmas Ornaments that you can imprint with Logo or message. Great giveaways for employees, customers and weddings.
