Christmas time is the time of year when many businesses decide to hand out free inexpensive gifts to their loyal customers and clients. This is the businesses way of saying thank you to them for their continued support and custom for the year just gone. As Christmas is only a few months away many businesses will already be looking at inexpensive ideas to hand out.

So with that in mind here are at least four ideas that you could use to give out freely to your customers as Christmas gifts.

I suppose the first gift idea that many businesses will look at is the promotional calendars. This is mainly because they can be made in many sizes to suit different tastes.

The promotional calendar is very inexpensive to make and to distribute. What makes them a great idea is the fact that each of the calendars that you give away will have your company details written across them so you are in effect getting free advertising as well as giving away free gifts.

The second on the list of inexpensive gift ideas would most definitely have to be the popular company diary. The diary has been a Christmas gift for as long as I can remember. Not many people tend to use diaries as much nowadays but they do come in handy for some people.

Third on the list would probably have to be something along the lines of a paper tray. Paper trays are another little item that people can use with their desktop computers so once again they can be handy little gifts to have.

Again these are cheap to provide and can have the business logo on them as with the other gifts. Your customers will use them when hey are at their computers and will be advertising your company for you at the same time.

The last inexpensive gift item that we will tell you about is the business bag. You can have these made up from lightweight fabric with your company logo printed on the front of them. When people use them for carrying anything in they are in effect promoting your business for you too.
