Ice and Wine Goes Well Under the Tree
When it comes to holiday gifts or in the politically correct world custom or employee appreciation gifts one of the most popular choices continues to be those associated with wine. One of the reasons custom wine openers tend to be one of the preferred choices in the later months of the year is the fact that many of the new products are included in the late season catalogs released by the larger manufacturers.
Leed's has announced the release of over one hundred new products. Many are geared towards the corporate gift giving including the Grigio 4 Piece Wine Bottle Set which is an innovative and creative approach to the problem of packaging the required wine tools. Almost everyone that is serious about the fairer wines and that has a serious collection will have a rack, cooler or other similar storage spot. This custom wine set will fit the contour of any of those storage mediums which immediately makes it accessible instead of digging through drawers. It also includes all of the needed pieces to get you through your next dinner party. The molded rubberized exterior is a new touch and it will be interesting to see how customers feel about what has traditionally been used only in tool sets.
For those of you that are completely and utterly tired of receiving bottle openers with a logo on them Leeds has come up with an idea for you this season. The Wine Chiller & Ice Bucket Duo is an exceptional custom wine chiller that can either be used as a regular ice bucket or as a bottle cooler. The plastic pieces assemble and the liquid fused between the pieces of acrylic freezes to quickly and easily chill your bottle from top to bottom. I have actually never seen this type of piece in the promotional products marketplace and it will be interesting to see how well it will sell. A nice feature is that anyone can use this whether it be the kids to keep their juices cold or teens to keep track of change. It has many uses and again it will surely catch the eye of your favorite client or employee as it is not something that has been making the rounds the last several years.
With the economic news the way it is everyone can use a good gift and hopefully these are some ideas you will be able to put to use this season. As a follow up to our laundry detergent cap story the other day apparently the reason they use the less than visible caps is that customer marketing data has found we buy based on cap color. That does not explain why they cannot use a contrasting imprint on the inside of the cup to make measuring easier and we are still waiting to hear back from the various manufacturers on plans in that area.
