Classic Legacy Custom Gift Idea for Sponsors of Event

       Classic Legacy has a great idea for a custom gift that promotes event sponsors.   This custom marble bottle stopper has 12 logos on it!   Our customer in Indianapolis ask for our advice.  She wanted to recognize twelve donors of a very special event.   Our new custom marble bottle stopper has plently of room to handle that.  We put 6 logos on each side!   The logos can be printed in color but we chose sepia to have a more uniform look.   It is a winner!   For years t-shirts have the names of corporate sponsors but this gift is going to be used again and again.  It is going to be used each time you have a bottle of wine.  You and your guests will remember these twelve sponsors for a long time!  Let us know of your upcoming special event.  Classic Legacy loves being creative!  

Creativity: the Key to Developing New Custom Gifts by Classic Legacy

Creativty is the key that I've found that helps me develop new products.   Creativity is fueled by new experiences and looking at those travels or adventures in a new light.   On a recent trip I saw the use of marble in many elements of design.   It clicked with me that we could use marble to create some wonderful new designs.   Sometimes the best designs are inspired by travel and that is the case with our new Classic Legacy Marble collection.   The bottle stoppers have an Italian Marble 2" square top.   We then embellish the marble with vintage Images, your logo, or photographs.   The coasters are a 4" square and have a cork base.    Each of these products will come in a presentation gift box.   I also wanted to present these at the upcoming markets and we can do that!   Look at the display that I created using a terra cotta planter!   Look for these unique designs at the upcoming markets.  I'm leaving to go to Dallas this week.  Please stop by the Howard Gardiner Showroom in Suite 1743 Trade Mart to see all the latest designs.

Teacher Appreciation Day May 4 and Custom gifts

       I remember all my elementary school teachers and I remember giving them a gift at the end of each year.   I admire teachers and think having this day and week set aside in their honor is wonderful.    Let's honor our teachers and remember them and say thanks!   Some Classic Legacy gift ideas for teachers include notepads, letter openers, and even a teacher bottle stopper.  What are your special memories of your teachers?

Custom Gifts for National Military Appreciation Month

      I just found out that the month of May each year is National Military Appreciation Month.   What a great way to honor our military by taking the time to remember what they have done for us and thank them.   I have begun a family project that is related to military appreciation.   I am organizing hand written letters written from 1943 to 1946 during World War II.   These are personal letters from my husband's grandfather.......and they are a treasure.   They are truly making me proud of our military and all they have done for us through the years.  My goal is to enter one letter a day into a digital file so they can be saved for generations to come.  Recently we just shipped a custom order to a military customer.   Through the years the Air Education Training Command has commisioned Classic Legacy to produce custom bottle stoppers for them.   These bottle stoppers have been presented as gifts all over the world.   I truly appreciate Randolph AFB and the Air Education Training and Command!

Custom Gifts make your Specialty Store Distinct

     Classic Legacy specializes in gifts with themes and custom designs.   We work with large wineries, resorts, and hotels but many of our partners are small businesses.   They survive by being unique and having merchandise that is not available in big box stores.   That is a challenge.   Classic Legacy has found that custom gifts for these stores is a perfect fit.   The process begins by listening to your needs.....what is the thing that your town or area is known for?   What special event or charity is on the calendar?   All we need is a jpeg image to begin.   The image can be just a word....such as the name of your town. It can be a logo. It can be a photograph or it can be an image from a painting.   Classic Legacy will then take that image and our graphic artist will show you how it will look on your gift.    Once the sample is approved we begin!   Our minimum order for custom gifts is only 24 pieces!    Most customers however do at least 60 pieces and that may even be split among several different gifts.....alll using the same image.   When a quantity of 60 is ordered there is no set up fee.   Let your customers know that this service is available.   What questions do you have?   We are here to serve you and your customers!
