The big trends that'll help you find the perfect gifts. It's been a whirlwind year: Employees are working from home, people are social distancing, and virtual events have become the norm. With so many big changes, it's no surprise that the gifting season will look different this year. Here's a closer look at the key trends:
It's All About Balance
Balancing work with life can be a challenge, especially when your office is also your living room. With people spending most of their time at home, employee gifts that promote comfort and relaxation are extra popular this year.

This 18oz. self-cleaning water bottle uses UV-light to keep your water pure and odorless. The mercury-free UV bulb sanitizes 99.99% of the bottle and water to neutralize microbiological contaminants, and the built-in LCD screen verifies each success. To make it even better, it's copper insulated to keep your hot drinks hot for 12 hours and cold for up to 48.
Keep one in your car, your bag, or your pocket. Meets FDA requirements.
Please note this product is not available in Canada.
The key thing about the Omi Mask is that it's CPSIA-compliant, meaning it's certified safe for children 10 and older. Made with the same breathable, moisture-wicking fabric as our lightweight Omi Tech Tee, it's also got adjustable ear cuffs for a comfortable fit.
Gifts With Purpose
In an uncertain economy, it's important to make the most of your budget. By choosing gifts people will use again and again, your customers will maximize their brand impressions and get more bang for their buck.
