Consider this our Gift Guide for 2022

We highly encourage anyone looking for personalized gifts this holiday season to order early. Inventory remains an issue with many items. When you see we have the items you want in stock, buy them. We can't guarantee the availability of a lot of items should we need to order them closer to Christmas.

Looking for gift ideas? This idea catalog includes many of our more popular gift items. We invite you to pick up a printed version of the catalog in our store.

This month we are collecting gifts for Santa's Castle at JBLM. Bring your new, unwrapped toys and gifts for kids at JBLM to us before November 28th. We're also supporting the efforts of the Tacoma Salvation Army again this year with our virtual red kettle. The Salvation Army does the most good for the most people with the most need. All donations are most welcome and encouraged.


Plan now to visit us on Small Business Saturday, November 26th!  According to American Express, 67 cents of every dollar spent in a small business stays in the local community, and SCORE found that small businesses donate 250 percent more than larger businesses to local nonprofits and community causes. Let that sink in!


Did you know the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce hosts a podcast featuring local businesses? Guess what? Judi was interviewed and is featured in a recent episode. 

We welcomed another new team member this month. Anna joined us as a graphic design intern in October and has agreed to stay on with us to assist with graphic design and production.

As a reminder, we did receive notices from some of our promotional product suppliers with manufacturing operations in China that orders not in production before Christmas won't be completed until sometime in February due to Chinese New Year in January. We again highly recommend reviewing your first quarter 2023 plans now and ordering any promotional products well ahead of time to guarantee you have them in your hands for your events and campaigns. Not all suppliers will be impacted in this way, but many will be. 

We hope all of our friends and customers enjoy this holiday season and wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!


 



What's Trending?

Every week we review analytics reports on our websites. Yes, you read that right, websites (plural). We track activity on both tacomatrophy.com and brownknowsawards.com.

For the first time in more than three years, we had to order in football and soccer trophy inventory to complete some bigger orders this month. It's exciting to see a return to pre-pandemic trophy volume. No surprise, trophies remain atop our online searches this month.

Cutting Boards

Bamboo, acacia wood, walnut and alder are some of the more popular woods featured in our cutting board selection. We also carry cheese boards with tools and accessories. Bring us your creative engraving ideas and we'll turn your ideas into gifts your friends and family will treasure.
 


Engraved and Printed Bottles 
Become the most popular and envied party guest when you show up to holiday parties with personalized bottles of your favorite wine and spirits. We engrave and print on bottles of alcohol as long as the design of the bottle includes a smooth area we can easily engrave or print.  

 

Polar Camel Drinkware Collection

Our Polar Camel collection of insulated drinkware continues to expand with new colors and new sizes and shapes of tumblers and bottles. Keep in mind, our prices include engraving or printing on these items. We try to maintain a pretty healthy inventory of these items but we expect inventory in some of the more in-demand colors to run out before the holidays so place orders early.



Phone Chargers

Nearly everyone these days carries a phone with them. And, nearly everyone has found themselves with a phone almost out of battery power. Don't let that be you - or anyone in your family. Consider these 8000MAH power banks and wireless chargers. This handy device works with items meant to charge wirelessly as well as those that charge with a cable. A 12" power cord is included for charging the power bank. Devices that are not wireless charge capable will require a USB cord that is NOT included. We engrave and print these chargers.


Barbecue Utensils
Granted, barbecue season may be behind us for the year. But, the grill masters in your life will love and appreciate personalized barbecue utensils with their name or nickname engraved on the handles. Choose a boxed barbecue set or choose individual utensils. 
 

Online Store Featured Product  - Captain's Telescope with Tripod

For someone who seems to have everything, someone with an interest in astronomy or as a clever way to honor and recognize the "captain" of your team, company or organization,, consider this telescope with tripod.

Our online store features this crystal award along with hundreds of other award ideas.


Promotional Products in the Spotlight
