Corporate Gifts for the school holidays

Amazingly, schools are now well into their final term of the school year. It's only a matter of weeks now until we hear the tones of happy children playing in the streets across the nation for what will seem to them like being a long, hot, balmy summer. Rose-tinted? Maybe, but let's not forget the parents who are probably dreading the thought of entertaining their little ones for 6 weeks solid!

Our suggestion therefore for today is Corporate Gifts for parents who may need a bit of cheering up. The obvious product to mention is Promotional Stress Toys. I think a few of these may be needing these. If you're the principal of a private or boarding school, these would make a humorous gift to give parents on the last day of term?

Of course, not all parents will be pulling their hair out. So for those that are going to embrace all that extra times with the kids, how about ideas to keep the kids happy? We've dozens of ideas ranging from promotional toys, sweets and even a specific category just for kids!

Finally, it's only for 6 weeks. Ok, they've been shorter wars but look on the plus side...when the kids go back, it's parent time again. So how about getting your Corporate Gifts ordered now for the end of August to give to parents. Our faves are Promotional Golf items and maybe travel items for a sneaky 'getaway' weekend to chill?!
