Regardless of your stance on the official start of the Holiday season (pre-or-post-Thanksgiving) or the appropriate time of year to start decorating, one thing we can all agree on is that shopping for all the people on your list can feel like an Olympic sport between the time crunch, constant wish list revisions, and the search for that one perfect gift. Luckily, small businesses have this year handled with a wide array of specialized items tailored to their customer base. Shopping small and shopping local this year is a sure-fire way to find something unique and special!

When it comes to corporate gifting, wether you are the CEO or team leader looking for a general year-end "thank you" for your group, finding the right item that appeals to everyone can be difficult. Luckily, there is more than just sweets and thank you cards that fit the bill for corporate gifts - give your team something they'll use year-round as a way to wrap up the holiday season.

Add a touch of thoughtfulness to their cabinet collection with a glass mug or stemless wine glass etched with a special emblem, corporate logo, or icon (like the Michigan Mitten!) for an item they will be sure to reach for first when they're having a drink or entertaining company. 

Thermal Mugs
