While there are many reasons to send off promotional corporate gifts, you will need to think outside of the box to pick up some promos that leave a lasting, good impression on your B2B clients. If you can't find the perfect promo corporate gift, here are nine ideas that will turn on the light bulb for you.



USB Gadgets ? Forget flash drives, there are a ton of quirky, strange USB products that you can send off as promotional gifts. USB Vacuum cleaners, lights, cup warmers, hubs, calculators, and more come in a USB interface. Get your promo staying on their desk with one of these unique corporate gifts, and you've won half of the branding battle.

Chocolate corporate gifts ? Many people around the world enjoy chocolate, so it's safe to assume that a chocolate corporate gift will be well received, whether you are sending it within your own office, or over to a business partner. You might only be thinking of chocolate candy baskets, but there are far more creative chocolate gifts. Get custom molds, edible CDs and gold balls, chocolate lollipops, chocolate picture frames, and more on your mind when you think about chocolate.

Picnic Baskets ? You might not associate a picnic basket with an effective corporate gift, but you can load these up with all sorts of great personalized goodies that will leave a lasting impression. Plus, you'll hit pay dirt if you have an office full of nature loving workers.

Promotional corporate games ? There's a playful side in everyone, no matter how much of a workaholic they are. Little games like puzzles, darts, and board games that can easily be played in the office tend to go over well for long, monotonous hours where nothing is going on.

Tea and Coffee Corporate Gifts ? There are precious few people that aren't caffeine addicts in a corporate environment, so tea and coffee gift baskets will be put to great use. Tea is especially good for giving the impression that you are a refined, health conscious corporation with great taste.

Christmas Ornaments ? Want to earn a promotional space in the home every year? It's pretty simply ? do up a batch of memorable Christmas ornaments, and chances are you'll end up on the tree year after year. Now that's a great long term opportunity for branding.

Awards ? If you really want to go the awards route, stay away from the typical plaques and trophies. Go for wild designs that are literally works of art. Make them a great conversation piece and you'll come up in every discussion about the trophy.

Wine Sets ? Nothing says high class like wine, so associate yourself with elegance via a wine gift set. This works especially well if you know the favorite vintage of the receiver.

Bath and Body Gift Sets ? Let your clients know that you care about them as a person as well as a business client with body wash, perfumes, and other bath products.
