The holiday season is right around the corner, which means one thing: it's time to start thinking about end-of-year gifts for clients, employees, and business partners. But how can you find the perfect gift?
This year's gifting trends focus on personalization, sustainability, and practical items that people will actually use. At PrintSimple, we've put together this guide to help you choose gifts that will make you stand out. From premium brands to budget-friendly options and eco-conscious choices. Let's take a look!
Still haven’t found what you’re looking for by the end? Don’t fret. The second half of this guide will be posted in the next blog.
What better way to start the new year than with a fresh notebook? Everyone uses them, to write down meeting notes, scribble down ideas, or even sketch their next masterpiece. But there are so many kinds of notebooks, how can you pick the right one?
Moleskine notebooks are a classic. They’ve been the go-to for professionals and artists for decades, and for good reason, too! These notebooks are versatile and fuel creativity. You can choose different sizes (A4, A5, or A6) and different purposes. We offer standard notebooks, but also sketchbooks and weekly/daily planners from this high-quality brand.
Don’t despair if the premium notebooks are a bit too expensive for your budget. We also offer cheaper notebooks that still have good quality. Our Bullet Spectrum A5 ruled notebook, for example, is a popular choice. While it is less expensive, it still offers a color-matching elastic closure and ribbon, a soft-feel hardcover, and 96 pages of 60 g/m² lined sheets. And that’s just one of our budget-friendly notebooks! Take a look at our notebooks and simply filter the price from low to high to find the right fit for your budget.
Sustainability is no longer a trend, it’s a necessity. We offer a wide range of notebooks made from recycled, sustainable, or innovative materials. By choosing an eco-friendly notebook, you’re not only giving a practical gift but also demonstrating your company’s commitment to the environment, which is highly valued by modern clients and employees. Our stone paper notebooks, for example, are made from limestone and a non-toxic resin, making them completely tree-free! Kill two birds with one stone by saving the planet, while giving gifts. And not to forget: for every order, we even plant a tree!
Still haven’t found the right notebook? No worries! You can make your very own custom-made notebooks. Choose the size, color, cover type, paper type and layout, and finishing to your liking and make a unique product. You can even add accessories, like an elastic band, a pen loop, and a paper pocket.
You can customize the books with a simple color print or go for a fancy embossing that will add a premium touch. Either way, you’ll create something exclusive to your company. Just keep in mind: custom-made notebooks have a lead time of about 4-6 weeks, but they are worth the wait!
Can you really go wrong with a classic tote bag? They’re reusable, stylish, and very memorable! Unlike many seasonal presents, these bags can be used all year long and on a daily basis. Whether you’re going shopping or carrying your essentials to work, these totes will always hit the spot. They also have a big customizable area, allowing for a bigger advertising space.
Really want to pamper your customers, employees, or business partners? Then take a look at our Premium tote bags. These cotton shoppers are robust and comfortable to carry. The high-quality fabric gives it a luxurious look and feel, but the real treat is their UltraTone DTF transfer. This printing method uses CMYK + ORGB, allowing you to have a wider color range. For more info about this technique, you can read this FAQ. Last but not least, we can ship them superfast!
Want a standard tote bag that’ll still wow people? Then the Madras tote bag is your friend. This tote bag is available in a wide variety of colors and has many print techniques. And all that without losing too much of the quality! This 7L bag is perfect for carrying groceries or giveaways at an event. The 140 g/m² cotton is thick enough to not feel flimsy while still being budget-friendly.
At PrintSimple we offer a plethora of ecological, sustainable and recycled products. Among them of course tote bags. These bags are made from various recycled materials and have different certificates and labels. You can even choose for our Fairtrade shoppers that offer an ethically responsible choice! And just because the totes are eco-friendly doesn’t mean that they have to lose quality or style. Both our premium bags and our budget totes have an option that shows that you care about our planet and the people living on it.
So far, we've covered notebooks and tote bags, two tried-and-true classics that never fail to impress. But we're just getting started! In the next part of this gift guide, we'll dive into tech essentials and writing instruments that will keep your brand in people's hands all year long. Stay tuned!
