"I love it!"  There's nothing like finding the perfect gift…and by "perfect," we mean something they'll use again and again. You're in good hands this year. Behind the scenes, our product development teams have been working hard to bring you the best product mix for every year-end gifting occasion. There are tons of new products and apparel pieces inspired by the latest trends and designs you'll be seeing online and in stores. No matter who it's for or how much you have to spend, we've got something for the occasion.

Trend: Cool Colors

Colors, especially colors that may be unexpected, make a statement without saying a word. There are plenty of opportunities to experiment with new colors this season– whether it's a pastel tote or an umbrella in a soft heathered gray. Even legendary workwear brand Carhartt has broken away from traditional brown with new colors and styles that people are going crazy for.

Trend: Eco-Friendly

Thanks, in big part, to a changing culture where plastic waste reduction is celebrated and laws banning single-use plastics are popping up all over the US and Canada, gifts made from recycled materials and products that are reusable alternatives to items normally thrown away after one use are in high demand. Our eco-friendly collection has all the best new eco-friendly styles.

Trend: Lighten Up

Gift season is a special time. Why not have a little fun with products that shimmer, glimmer, and shine? From bags and bottles to even umbrellas, iridescent and holographic products are everywhere right now.

Trend: Buffalo Plaid

Prints and patterns are big right now. Our favorite is buffalo plaid – the classic pattern with cross-generational appeal that's being used in all kinds of new ways. (Yep, even umbrellas and gift sets.)  It's easy to put items with a similar look and feel into gift collections. Perfect for gift occasions, special events or simply any time you're presenting multiple products in one place. They're great because they add a little diversity without sacrificing consistency and cohesion. Plus, with collections, you can play with logos and branding, knowing that the products' similar patterns or materials will keep everything working together.  You'll end up with an impressive gift that shows your customers you appreciate their business.

Trend: Multi-Function

Innovative design that allows products to be used in new ways – and the more they're used, the better for a brand. From umbrellas with Bluetooth speakers to lanterns with built-in wireless power banks to wireless charging journals, these products are guaranteed to get a "wow."

Trend: Handwriting

So much of the workday is spent typing and texting that people are rediscovering the simple joy of handwriting. Recent research even suggests that pen and paper is the better choice for information processing and retention. There are pens and journals for every budget. We can even create a custom bundle with your favorite pen and notebook.
