A top idea for Christmas gifts is a hamper full of tasty treats. But how do you make it stand out and become extra memorable with a personal touch? Get it branded with your company logo and message of course! Whether you opt to include a branded travel mug or bespoke postcard or simply have a branded belly band, we can guide you to the perfect option for your budget and branding.

2.????? BIC? Lighters
You may have not even considered a lighter, branded up with your artwork as an option to promote your company. But they are an incredibly useful item to have at home. They have seen a huge increase in use since covid (and no, that isn’t because we have all started smoking!). Used to light candles, BBQs, pizza ovens and wood burning stoves.
Bic? are well known for their quality lighters, anyone see the Snoop Dogg adverts?! We can offer a huge range, with 360° printing. Pair with a scented candle for a lovely duo gift.
3.????? It’s all in the detail...?
As you probably know, we are big fans of the promotional umbrella here at Steel City. On average in the UK it will rain approximately 43 out of 91 days in the autumn, that is 47% of the time! So it’s a well worth investment to get your brand promoted and loved. One way to stand out with your umbrella is with those special extra touches. From branded decals, reflective prints to full bespoke branded sleeves, we can help you to choose something truly unique.
