If you’re like most busy business owners, the holidays just seem to sneak up on you. No problem—we have lots of ways you can show your holiday spirit and your appreciation to loyal employees, vendors and customers. Here are some ideas on how you can put together affordable gifts with a personal touch that’s sure to make any gift exceptional.

Make the holidays brighter for employees

There’s something really special about a personalized gift.  So we’ve made it easy for you to go the extra mile for your employees: first, think of something unique about each employee, and a gift idea that can tie in with that insight. Then, customize the gift presentation by creating personalized gift tags with labels using printable Avery products and the free Avery Design & Print Online program Here are some ideas to get you thinking – and creating!

-  Favorite colors. Someone likes red?  How about a matching scarf and gloves set, umbrella or coffee mug in that hue? Attach a personalized Avery Printable Tag with a message such as, ”We all appreciate your red-hot sales this year. Happy holidays.”

-  Hobbies. Got a foodie on your team?  Create a one-of-a-kind tote bag using Avery Fabric Transfers and fill it with delectable gourmet treats or fancy cooking supplies. -  Interests. Someone a sports fan or movie nut? Put together a bucket of fun goodies so they can enjoy a “night in.” Throw in some DVDs of classic sports movies or blockbuster films, some gourmet popcorn and chocolate-covered peanuts. Then add a personal gift label using Avery Glossy White Round Labels for the finishing touch.

Light up the holidays for customers and vendors

You don’t have to buy expensive gifts to impress your customers and thank vendors during the holidays. With Avery Design & Print Online, you can make any gift more meaningful and impressive by customizing Avery products with your business logo, their name, and a personal message. Here are some easy and distinctive gift ideas:

-  Personalized bottles. If someone enjoys a good bottle of wine, why not customize one with a personal holiday message printed on the water-resistant Avery Textured White Arched Labels? It’s a simple touch that means so much.

-  Stylish jars and containers. How can you make a homemade bottle of jam, bath product or scented candle more elegant? Create a customized label and print on Avery Gold Foil Embossed Round Labels or Avery Silver Foil Embossed Round Labels to make your gift really shine!

-  Personal thank you cards. You’ve created the perfect gift, now finish off the presentation with an Avery Greeting Card or Avery Note Card created just for them. Print a special holiday message, and your attention to detail will not go unnoticed. The cards can be sealed with gold mailing seals or silver mailing seals. If you’re sending the gift, you can even coordinate the look on your addressing and shipping label, too.
