5 Ways to Make Your Holiday Order Lame (And How Not To)

We know, we know, nobody reading this would ever wait until the last minute, this one’s for the other guy. But just in case that other guy is having a moment, here’s the reminder anyway: if you do end up in a full-blown panic, This Is Fast, our 24-hour program, is there to catch you. That’s genuinely great, and but we just want you to know we have lottts of really good stuff that aren’t on This is Fast so, you know, don’t wait.

There’s nothing wrong with a classic tote, we love the classics as much as anyone. But if every holiday order looks identical to the one before it, that’s not consistency, that’s just not looking around. We’ve got rope handles on totes now, actual rope, in eight colors, that turns a standard bag into something a client wants to carry on purpose. We’ve got embroidery patches made in-house, custom shapes, no extra charge, that read as a lot more considered than a straight stitch-out. Spice it up a little. We promise we will always have our totes if you miss your classics for next year.

If there’s a seasonal budget sitting around burning a hole in someone’s pocket, mailers are basically built for that exact problem. They land directly with the person you actually want to reach, they feel like a moment instead of a line item, and they’re an easy yes for a client who wants to do something for the holidays without reinventing their whole program. Worth putting in front of anyone who hasn’t sent one yet. Plus, they’re adorbs.

This is the one that genuinely makes no sense to skip, because it’s not even a hard choice. Want something ready to go, already put together, already looking good? We’ve got a whole lineup of kits for that. Want something built exactly for this client, this occasion, this year? We can build that too. Either way you end up with a real, cohesive gift instead of a single item floating around by itself, and either way takes about the same effort as not doing it at all.

This one’s for anyone stuck staring at a blank design file wondering what a holiday version of their product should even look like. We’ve already got seasonal stock patterns ready to drop in and go, no starting from scratch required. It’s the kind of shortcut that doesn’t feel like cutting a corner, it just skips the part where everyone stares at a blank page.

Like we said, we know this particular post isn’t for you… but just in case, we’re throwing this all out there for everybody.
