World Cup Warriors

 The world cup is nearly upon us and if your business wants to get involved with the festivities, why not invest in some themed promotional products from Gift Selection.

 Make some noise for your favourite team with the Boogieblaster – the original sound from Africa. Don’t be fooled by its small size, because the sound will blow you away! A handy feature of this product is the removable mouthpiece, meaning you can conveniently pack it away in a box.

I must admit the Boogieblaster is my favourite promotional item, however I’m also a big fan of the branded retro footballs. These are the official size, featuring four layers with a lace closure. Thanks to the good quality imitation leather, the ball can be embossed to great effect.

Another great product, perhaps for the more eccentric football fanatic is the ‘Fan Helmet’. This is the ultimate piece of fan gear, they can be personalized to your taste with the football patches, spikes, devil-horns, mini-horns and warrior accessories! Tell me you don’t want some warrior accessories!

Football Festivities

With the world cup approaching, here at Gift Selection we have lots of promotional products relating to the football festivities that are on the horizon.

If you’re looking for some branded T shirts, horns, flags – you name it, we can supply everything you will need. We’d prefer these to be England based promotional items, but we won’t discriminate.

If you do buy some promotional flags, spare a thought for pensioner Doreen Carnelly who put full-sized flags across Sturgeon Avenue Nottingham, only to see them cut down by the council. “I felt terrible. I cried. I was upset. It has hurt me so much,” Doreen Carnelly told her local newspaper, the Nottingham Post.

The city council cut the rope and left the flags on her hedge. Officers said it was illegal to attach items to street lights and complaints were made. Now council leader Jon Collins has said it was an “error of judgement“.

St Patricks Day!

Today is St Patricks Day, so let’s all celebrate our Irish neighbours, by going into our city centres, getting blind drunk and ending the night one of two ways; getting arrested for assault or getting arrest for criminal damage. Hooray!

Everyone associates green with the Ireland, and Ireland with green. Originally however, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick’s Day as early as the 17th century.

He is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish, and the wearing and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the day. All was not well, as in the 1798 rebellion in the hope of making a political statement, Irish soldiers wore full green uniforms on the 17^th of March in hopes of catching attention with their unusual fashion!

In the past Gift Selection has provided many promotional items, spreading businesses messages far and wide on St Patrick’s day. There are plenty of clover shaped items available as family giveaways, such as branded clover stress balls, branded clover T shirts, even branded clover shaped pencils!

While for adults, there is a great selection of bar themed promotional items available. Branded bottle openers, branded pint glasses, branded coasters – even branded cocktail shakers can be bought from Gift Selection.
