‘Tis the season to make lolly




Ahem, we mean to be jolly! And jolly we are at the tinsel clad Brand-it HQ (with or without the aid of mulled wine).

This week we discovered that the most popularly produced promotional items are … pens, followed by t-shirts and bags but we can do so much better than that. In fact, we feel a song coming on.

On the first day of Christmas Brand-it produced for me

Halloween treats that will leave everyone screaming for more!

The little girl thought briefly, took a deep breath and then recited: “One dark cold October night, Three little witches gave you a fright. One was in red, and one was in green, And the third one was screaming ‘It’s Halloweeeeeeeeeeen!’” Traditionally Halloween was celebrated by the Celts. It marked the end of summer and the harvest-time with the beginning of the darker winter months. The Celts believed that this point in the year was also when the worlds of the living and dead interacted with one another, and ghosts returned to earth to cause mischief and mayhem. These days Halloween is an altogether more commercial event. Parents now purchase elabor

Bespoke gifts, handmade with love

Rhona Hartley’s Heart Chunks. All photos: Copyright © Rhona Hartley, 2018. All rights reserved. When I’m not looking for exciting promotional gifts to brand for my clients, I adore getting all creative. And with Valentine’s Day almost upon us, that creativity is currently being channelled into my Heart Chunks.

I start by finding an appropriate piece of wood – it can be any size or type – which I then lovingly sand down.

Recently I’ve modified the design by adding wee cowrie shells, that I collect during walks on my local beach, to the heart shape.

Have I told you that Branding Up works with Erskine , who have been caring for UK veterans throughout Scotland since 1916? The observant readers amongst you will have looked at that founding date, and already worked out that this wonderful charity recently celebrated their centenary anniversary. In the run up to their historic celebrations, Erskine contacted me and asked if I could source several items that they could incorporate into their 2016 Centenary Merchandise. My suggestions included a mini decanter set, a pashmina, gentleman’s tie, a compact mirror, and an Erskine Centenary pin badge. All these items were stylishly branded with a logo that was derived from a broach worn by Princes Louise. Louise was the sixth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and gave her name to the Princess Louise Scottish Hospital, which was what Erskine was originally called when it was first established. Thrilled to report that Erskine were so delighted with the quality of the gifts I
