5 Premium Gift Ideas for Companies

Corporate gifts are a tricky topic. While some still stick to the old school pens and button badges (really?), it's time for YOU to upgrade your premium gift game. Here are some ways to get the most out of your investment with these top choices.

#1 Electronic Gadgets

Electronic gifts may cost more but are well loved by receivers! If you're a bigger company looking to impress your stakeholders, Bluetooth/portable speakers are a HIT. You may also consider a wireless mouse in your corporate colour or even a travel adaptor for travel related companies. Power banks are equally as popular and are well appreciated when your phone runs out of juice.

#2 Corporate Diary

Many business people carry and use a corporate diary daily. It will be constantly used and reminds them of your brand. As we usually only need 1 a year but receive up to 5, make sure you give out a really GOOD one to stand out. Find a good diary supplier malaysia to ensure your company's diary is of a good quality with stylish design. A sleek minimalistic cover has a much better chance at getting used than one with your brand and logo all over it.

#3 Drinkware

Drinkware items like cups, thermo mugs, water bottles and ceramic desk mugs are also good choices are they're used daily and placed at eye level. Again as mentioned in the point above, avoid crowding it with your brand logo. Instead, go for a motivating or fun message that's connected to your brand.

#4 Shopping Bags

With the growing ban of plastic bags in Malaysia, these are becoming increasingly popular. These bags are generally low cost and you can afford to reach a bigger audience with a smaller budget. You can go for the budget-friendly non woven bags but I would recommend bigger companies to go for felt shopping bags or even fashionable ones that come with pockets and fancier designs. After all, the premiums reflect your company.

#5 Thumb Drives

Let's admit it, we lose thumb drives all the time and welcome new ones. How do you increase the chances of receivers using your thumb drive though?

Tips:

Use an attractive yet practical design. Some customised thumb drives are too bulky that they interfere with the usage of neighbouring USB slots.
If you're distributing digital copies of corporate profiles, brochures or press releases, you may load them into the thumb drives as well so they're not only pretty but functional as well.
Ensure the capacity is sufficient. The bigger the better!

Birthday at Beanieplex!

This post is so late! I had my first try of the TGV Cinema Beanieplex thanks to Tammy! It was her blog's birthday~

Lovely decorations by Ask Joey.

Look at all the props!

Jars of Honey Strawberry Sugar Scrub for all of us to take home~ They smell so nice!

Almost couldn't recognize Chency because her blue hair was masked by the dark lighting. A number of people turned up in really Superman outfits, complete with capes!! =O

I've heard numerous bad comments about Beanieplex saying it's smelly, hard to sit, uncomfortable etc but it was surprisingly nice..! The beanbags are made of leather-like material and aren't like those round ones that lump up at the bottom. It is also spacious and perfect for people who want to ber-dating in cinema lulz..

Theme was blue and red so I wore a comfy British flag top and le bf told me, "Superman is from US not UK lar.." cis!

Unrelated photo of me with my new Peach Hippo!

Unfortunately, had to leave early and couldn't stay back for cake cutting =( As for the movie.. It was alright.. Very similar looking to Clark Kent of Smallville!

Empties & New Stuff

Again, I haven't really been finishing much but gained quite a number of new things! D=

Too Faced Beauty Balm (the ONLY thing I finished omg..)
Looking at my review date, I believe I should have tossed this some time back =/ But hey.. at least I finished it.

I also did a little 'spring cleaning' and dumped a bag of stuff that have been with me foreverrr. Can't believe I've been keeping all these!

Now for the new stuff.. Took advantage of the TT Mask Buy 1 Free 1 promo! Got a bunch of my beloved Functionality Masks~ Basically, I only paid for the top half and got the bottom half for FREE!

Rearranged all my loose masks into the huge Zalora box. Perfect size..

While 'spring cleaning', I also uncovered some other boxes of masks wtf! This is a signal telling me to stop buying facial masks. Seriously.

Got myself some Freshlook Colorblends from MrLens! You can find a number of discounted contact lenses here.

Some goodies from RMK all thanks to Kanebo & Nuffnang! I will be reviewing these later.

My first try of Sothys and I'm pretty impressed. Many thanks to Tammy & The Butterfly Project.

New wallet cos my old one was literally coming apart =/ Found out it's 'inspired' but can't be bothered. Quite good quality too.

The shop carries quite a number of stuff so you can check them out.

Then I somehow won 3 mascaras in the same month =/

Givenchy Noir Mascara worth RM 123 @_@ Gave this to my friend though~ Because you know.. Who can use three mascaras together? =_="

Won an Ishizawa Lovedrops Eyelash Curler Mascara from Lisa. Thank you!

Then I won a BROWN Kiss Me mascara from Yukiko! Sure am excited to try this out =)

Won another Lego book from MPH. Still haven't found the heart to use these yet!

Why I want a Havaianas!

I've avoided flip flops aka selipar Jepun for as long as I can remember because I've always seen them to be so UGLY! But then I started class at Taylor's and this is the condition of our parking lot - so rocky and hard to walk on!

Literally 10 minute walk to class everyday. Then you might need to walk up 7 floors and if it rains, you can say bye bye to your sneakers. Hence, everyone in Taylor's including me wears flip flops.. But it's just so un-glam lah.. =/

Then I stumbled upon the God of flip flops - Havaianas.

OMG! Flip flops can actually be pretteh! So many shades of pink too *melts*

There's even a range with elevated soles! You can still have the height heels offer with the comfort of Havaianas. I always love some height in my shoes!

If you're the girly girly kind, there are even these with cute hearts and flowers. Love the teal btw.

On days when I feel like dressing up to class, there are fashionable flip flops like these! Bling bling ones for when I'm dressing 'cool' or floral ones for girly days. I think these might even be pretty enough to wear with dresses!

So many designs and I love all of them! You know how awkward it is when you bump into another girl wearing the same outfit? Well, now you can wear unique flip flops that speak your personality.

And.. What's my main reason for wanting a pair of Haiavanas? So I can wear 'em to the Spa Party! Of course, that's only if I win invites.. So double fingers crossed!

Shu Uemura Party with Tammy

Thanks to Tammy, we were invited for a party at Shu Uemura! It's for a preview of the lovely new Sakura Collection, designed by ob.

The whole range looks so cutteee! Those eyelashes are really unique too.

The four princesses : Ocean Princess, Moon Princess, Cherry Blossom Princess and Forest Princess.

BB Mousse looking all adorable.

Pastel macaroons fit for the theme.

There was a contest where we were told to dress up as one of the four princesses. Alicia on the left made her own dress and won best dressed!

Angeline & I.

With Esther

Alicia, cute small pink girl and Lisa.

Special girl of the day, Tammy! Thanks for the invite~

* Kinda weird how the flowers on our dresses seem to join together LOL

Shu Uemura staff were also taking polaroid photos of us!

Tammy welcoming us and revealing what's the door gift.

The door gift - This beautiful 24k Gold Eyelash Curler that's limited edition!! I've always wanted a Shu Uemura curler and this is just so pretty!~

Award winning Lisa Yap showing us how to apply the makeup.

Simply love those lashes!

We were each given a Shu Uemura canvas bag to paint, also a contest. See this Yukiko painting away happily.

Her cute lil princess!

Lisa and Angeline are just.. good artists..

Like really.. I'm not sure what happened to mine =/ *hides face* Kinda expected the fabric paint to be like chalk but of course, it's a totally different thing and what I had in mind became something else #disaster
