“I love it.”

 There’s nothing like finding the perfect gift…and by “perfect,” we mean something they’ll use again and again. You’re in good hands this year. Behind the scenes, our team has been working hard to bring you the best product mix for every year-end gifting occasion.

In August we begin to introduce tons of new products and apparel pieces inspired by the latest trends and designs you’ll be seeing online and in stores. No matter who it’s for or how much you have to spend, we’ve got something for the occasion.

Here are a few hints at the trends that will win over your clients, team and whomever you need to impress and thank this holiday season!

Trend: Cool Colors

Colors, especially colors that may be unexpected, make a statement without saying a word. There are plenty of opportunities to experiment with new colors this season– whether it’s a pastel tote or an umbrella in a soft heathered gray. Even legendary workwear brand Carhartt has broken away from traditional brown with new colors and styles that people are going crazy for.

Trend: Go Green

Thanks, in big part, to a changing culture where plastic waste reduction is celebrated and laws banning single-use plastics are popping up all over the U.S. and Canada, gifts made from recycled materials and products that are reusable alternatives to items normally thrown away after one use are in high demand. We have all the best new eco-friendly styles!

Trend: Buffalo Plaid

Prints and patterns are big right now. Our favorite is buffalo plaid – the classic pattern with cross-generational appeal that’s being used in all kinds of new ways. (Yep, even umbrellas.)

Trend: Lighten Up

Gift season is a special time. Why not have a little fun with products that shimmer, glimmer and shine? From bags and bottles, to even umbrellas, iridescent and holographic products are everywhere right now. So fun and popular!

Trend: Multi-Function

Innovative design that allows products to be used in new ways – and the more they’re used, the better for a brand. From umbrellas with Bluetooth speakers, to lanterns with built-in wireless power banks, these products a guaranteed to get a “wow.”
