Now that it's July, many people's fancy turns to beaches, sun, sand, and I don't know? Scuba-diving? Whatever it is outdoorsy people like to do in 100 degrees. I like to sit inside with dark rum pina coladas and air conditioning, so that's a topic I cannot speak on with any authority. But I hear that people are doing stuff! Anyway, my fancy turns to corporate gifts for the 2018 holiday season. Which in turn leads to my wondering what I'm going to get for my beloved family and friends this year. I'm thinking gift-wrapped reminder notices of the cash they owe me won't be considered reflective of the "spirit of the holiday". Or so I have been informed.
Then I start thinking about what I may want to gift to our clients. That's when I get excited because cool swag is in my blood. Once fall 2018 arrives, we are going to see some really amazing new corporate gifts coming out. That's something I look forward to every year. But what's hot right now in corporate gifts for clients?
Utilizing the panache of hot retail brands is a big trend this year, and will only grow bigger. I want to show you some of my favorite retail brand corporate gifts right now.
Corkcicle
I love Corkcicle. This is a brand with real panache. I mean, even Oprah loves Corkcicle. This first item is one of my favorites, and newly available for your 2018 corporate client gifts. You can click on the pictures below for product details.
This one is also radically cool:
Moving on from whiskey and sin (do we want to move on?), below is the Corkcicle that started the biggest trend in drinkware. The instantly classic stainless steel stemless:
This one is supercool, especially for tech and finance companies:

Chipolo
For someone like me, who loses every single thing, Chipolo has been a godsend. I remember when I used to make fun of my then-boyfriend who was older than me, because he would always ask me if I saw his glasses AND THEY WOULD BE ON HIS HEAD. Well, fast forward, and guess what? That's now me. In fact, on one really memorable "hello dummy" occasion, I had TWO pairs of glasses on top of my head and couldn't find them.
