The Australian Open Tennis is in full swing and Federer is looking in great form to take out the competition this year. In celebration of the Australian Open we thought we take a closer look at the humble tennis ball. As a product the Tennis ball has seem to have undergone almost no changes over the years.

3) Corporates use them as interesting substitutes for stressballs
4) Event organisers use them to promote the game of tennis

Valentines day is coming sooner than you think. For those who do not know (or like me, choose to forget) it is February the 14th. Now we all know what Valentines day is of course in its modern context being a day for couples. However Valentines day is also a terrific opportunity for organisations like charities, not for profits, corporates and organisations to latch onto and use it as a great opportunity to advertise and market themselves. Does this sound a bit cynical? I certainly do not think so. Using Valentines day when most people are in high spirits are a perfect opportunity to show that your organisation also cares. If you are a charity wanting to raise funds for a cause then this is all the more better.

2. Choose sustainable options.
3. Custom branded gifts enhance brand recall.

Anniversaries and milestones for birthdays or for celebrations typically call for a get together party and more often than not the blowing of  flame on top of a candle. Ever wondered why we as humans do this? The blowing of a candle is done by seemingly all cultures and religions. However how did this all start? Why puff out a breath of air to blow out a flame that we just lit? The concept of placing a candle on the cake makes perfect sense of course, I mean who does not like eating cake?

Mason Jars are the surprise hit product this year. Instead of mugs many clients of ours have opted to use mason jars! These retro looking products typically can hold a lot more content (soups, tea, coffee, soft drink) than your typical mug. Couple that with the fact that they can be used lid on (with a straw) or lid off like a regular cup.
