Top Printed Giveaways for Summer

Now that summer is well upon us, lots of people are off on their summer holidays which means printed giveaways are even more popular. This made us think, what do you consider to be your most important items in the summer?

The most obvious products to remember are sunglasses and sun cream. Whilst it can be fun to be in the sun and pick up a tan, protecting your skin and eyes is the most important thing to consider. Sunglasses will help to protect your eyes from the rays whilst sun cream protects your whole body from the rays damage. 

Another safety item is, of course, bottles of water. It is recommended that the average adult drinks eight glasses of water a day, this is increased depending on how hot the weather is. When setting out to spend the day in the sun, it is vital that you pack enough water to keep you going through the heat. 

What clothes should you pack for a day out?  Of course, flip-flops to keep your feet cool, baseball caps to protect your head from the heat, perhaps even a towel in case you decide to go for some swimming?  When the weather is hot, you want to do everything you can to remain cool and swimming is one of these activities. 

There are, of course, other summer promotional ideas you could consider. For example, promotional water guns can be fun in the summer, particularly amongst families! You could also pack a frisbee for the beach or a beach ball. The possibilities are endless when it comes to beach games!

Another important item to consider is a beach mat or blanket. Whether you are going to the beach or just spending the day having a picnic on the grass, a beach mat or blanket can keep you free from the sand or grass. They can also make your day much more comfortable. 

Once you have all of these items, what do you pack it all into?  A promotional bag of course! There are many different promotional bags to choose from, whether you want a drawstring bag, eco-friendly cotton bags or cool bags. The options are endless!  You should also consider if all these items were branded, how far your brand would be spread!

Total Merchandise sells all of these items and more through our website, have a look at our summer promotional products.
