In the changing world of merch, it can be hard to stay on top of trends! We did you a little favor and put together the top 2020 trends we've seen so far. And by trends we don't mean a product that was hot for a couple days and went out of style the next. These are trends that are sticking around! :)
So far 2020 has been full of surprises and not all of them have been exactly what we would call fun! Covid 19 hit pretty hard and appears to be here to stay for a while. While disrupting everyone’s daily schedules, it brought added stress to many people’s lives. A huge percentage of people have been working from home. That brings unique challenges for everyone, whether it’s trying to hold your meetings while homeschooling the kids on the side, trying to quiet down your pets, or simply trying to stay focus amidst all the bad reports the news pushes out! Stress Relievers are a handy tool to help employees relieve their frustrations and restore a little calm to their chaotic schedules! See a few of our favorites below.
Back-To-Work kits have been a huge trend as companies are preparing to welcome back their workforce into the office. Of course, proper preparations have to be put in place before that can happen. All this can seem a little daunting to employees. A great way to welcome them back to a safe environment is with a kit filled with protective gear (think masks, sanitizers, etc), stress relievers, or some fun branded apparel as a big Thank-You for their dedication during this challenging time! Shop items from our Back-To-Work page.
A Back-To-Work kit is a great way to show your appreciation for your employees but that might not be a great fit for your set up or maybe you’re looking for a gift for someone else (Did some of your suppliers go above and beyond during this challenging time?). Instead of making it a kit, give them a meaningful and well thought out gift. Is it a bright and cheery plant cube, a soothing candle, or a custom designed set of cozy socks? Here are a few of our top sellers that we think you might love!
This trend might come as a surprise to you! Virtual reality has been on an upward rise as factories find creative ways to give tours or HR is searching for an efficient way to train remote staff! The possibilities are truly endless! How will you utilize VR? Shop our brands below.
WFH (Working from Home) hasn’t just been a trend, its been essential in some cases. Supporting your staff is critical during times like these. Do they have the proper equipment to be as productive as possible? Earbuds with a mic (So you can hear them without the kids screaming in the background 😉), webcam covers (for all those times when you’re not quite ready to turn on the camera yet…these are lifesavers!), etc are practical and useful gifts. Browse through some of our top pics for WFH gear that will give your remote staff a much-needed boost.
In mid-April, the CDC recommended wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies). Now in some states, you’re not even allowed to enter grocery stores and other places without a mask. Provide your employees or clients with protective items like masks or bandannas to keep them safe when they’re out & about or to welcome them back into the office. Shop our top mask sellers.
While gas is cheap and the roads are emptier than normal, some people are taking advantage of the time to go on camping trips or on hiking trips in remote places away from other humans! 😊 This is a fun way you can support your adventurous clients or employees! A Bluetooth lantern, for example, is a great way to encourage outdoor exercise (and promoting your brand to the top of mountains, literally!!). Explore some of our top options!
