Holmes has a few other go-to budget-friendly promo gifts that are custom accessories to products most people already own. “Tumblers and Crocs are super popular with almost all demographics, so I love showing clients that they can hitch a ride on them with custom straw toppers and shoe charms,” she says. Holmes likes attaching Straw Toppers, which come in any custom shape and are made of nontoxic PVC, to biodegradable flexible or straight Custom Straws, also compatible with Stanley drinkware, for an impressive visual display. Even on a budget, you can create fully custom 1-inch to 2-inch Shoe Charms for healthcare professionals and others who wear Crocs in the workplace. “I like to add full-color backer cards and polybags to the shoe charms for a more retail experience,” Holmes says. BibBoards / PPAI 732422, Standard Base bibboards.com A budget-friendly gift Holmes has been eyeing is the Aqua Pearls Spa Mask Hot/Cold Pack. Less than $2 each, these self-care masks are available in various colors. “They deliver stress relief in this crazy world, which I consider the most important feature of all,” she says. “An eye mask is a luxury product most people don’t think to buy for themselves but will wonder what they ever did without it – and they’ll thank your client’s brand for it.” Ariel Premium Supply PPAI 161650, Platinum arielpremium.com PPAI • JANUARY 2025 • 11 Use Case | Essentials
