Branded Seeds!

The US Supreme Court has made the controversial decision to allow the bio-tech company Monsanto, to sell genetically modified seeds before safety tests are completed.

Environmentalists had argued that there might be a risk of cross-pollination between genetically modified plants and neighbouring crops. They also argued over-use of the company’s weed-killer Roundup, the chemical treatment the alfalfa is modified to be resistant to, could cause pollution of ground water and lead to resistant “super-weeds”.

Monsanto make alfalfa, a grass like plant used as animal feed, which is the fourth most valuable crop in the US. Monsanto says claims its products were dangerous amounted to “bad science fiction with no support on the record”.

You may be wondering what the devil all this has to do with promotional products; well not a great deal, but you may not be aware that Ecoproducts2order offers branding bags of seeds (that are GM free). Branded bags of seeds, are a great low cost promotional item, that can be used as an innovative mailing idea.

Branded bags of seeds is just one unusual item that ecoproducts2order can offer, call their friendly team of promotion experts today to discuss your next promotional marketing campaign.

Are You Snowed In?

Even more snow is falling, much to the shock of our mild mannered general public, although to be fare I did transform into a snowman while walking to work this morning. The lowest temperature recorded on Sunday night was -14C in Eskdalemuir, south-west Scotland, while Wales saw -12.6C in Sennybridge.

If you took the car to work this morning, unless you have a butler, the chances are an ice scraper would have proved very useful. Branded ice scrapers may not be the most obvious of corporate gifts, but that is the beauty of them.

Branded ice scrapers are a great, low cost promotional item for this time of year, which are especially great if your organisation has links with the travel industry or with cold weather in general. Branded ice scrapers will make for valuable corporate gifts, as they will be greatly appreciated when one’s hands are freezing cold!

The Met Office has issued an advisory for heavy snow and widespread ice across much of the UK today, with conditions deteriorating in south-west England later in the evening. BBC forecaster Peter Gibbs said he could see no end to the freezing conditions for at least a week.

Gift Selection has a range of unique promotional items for the winter season – not just ice scrapers. There is something to suit every budget from brandable lip balms to ski jackets!

Scouse Promotional Products

A most unlikely promotional item for blustery October would be a branded beach ball, however rather hilariously Liverpool FC has completely sold out of their £10 Beach Set. Ironically I don’t think any buyers where from Merseyside region.

Their online store has experienced a surge on the “Beach Set” package following Darren Bent’s winning goal at the Stadium of Light last Saturday, when his shot was deflected from a stray branded beach ball.

Mike Jones, the referee at the centre of the controversy, has been removed from the Premier League match list for this weekend having allowed Bent’s effort to stand. His last match may not have done his career any favours, but on the upside he is the most popular man in the whole of Greater Manchester.

Cheeky Mancunions are suspected of being behind the increased demand for scouse beach products, with a “tribute” to Bent’s goal planned but risk having their contraband promotional items on Sunday. Gift Selection has all manner of promotional beach items that they normally sell for summer promotions believe it or not. However you can order personalised beach balls and related corporate gifts all year round if you wish.

Printed Promotional Fans

We are far too hot in The Giftselection office at the moment. Despite the windows being open, and being in a state of semi undress, I am slowly melting into my keyboard. Luckily I have a sample of a printed promotional hand fan, which is worth its wait in gold.

Gift Selection has a great range of printed promotional hand fans available, which make ideal promotional items for summer time. A printed hand fan is a corporate gift that will really be appreciated, and doesn’t cost a huge amount either.

If you have any questions about branded hand fans feel free to give us a call, but of course we have a complete range of promotional items for summer. We have cost effective seasonal items like branded lip balm, fun items like branded frisbees to more expensive items like a branded BBQ!
