Give Your Holiday Sales Something Extra from Bandanna Warehouse
By October, apparel decorators are already in the thick of customers asking about and ordering employee and customer appreciation gifts, holiday event items, seasonal merchandise, year-end thank-you’s, and other branded gifts. And while this timeframe may feel early to the person receiving a custom holiday gift, it isn't early for those responsible for creating them.
Here’s just a short list of all the requests that are likely already in your queue:
Employee appreciation gifts
Customer/client thank-you’s
Company holiday parties
Retail holiday merchandise
School/community celebrations
Seasonal giveaways
Corporate gifting programs
Holiday nonprofit fundraising
Wrap Up More Business This Holiday Season with Bandanna Warehouse
If you aren’t already on top of these orders, your shop is likely feeling a lot of pressure surrounding timing. On top of that, your customers might also be looking for something different this season, something unique. A T-shirt is useful. But holiday gifting creates permission to offer something different — something seasonal, cozy, useful, collectible, or memorable. It also offers the opportunities for add-ons and elevated kits.
For those decorators looking for a partner to not only provide unique, custom holiday gifts, but to also provide made-in-the-USA inventory quickly, Bandanna Warehouse is at the ready.
Create Something They’ll Keep
Nothing screams the holidays like a solid themed item. For any of your customers looking for a top-notch branded item (think corporate and employee gifting), look no further than winter and holiday-themed bandannas from Bandanna Warehouse.
For these types of customers, what makes a branded gift valuable isn't how big the logo is. It’s whether the recipient actually wants to keep the product. Fun prints — paired with something unique like a bandanna — offer that keepsake people continue to use and wear long after they’ve received it.
The bandanna carries an even bigger bonus — there are multiple use cases. Here are a few suggestions you can offer your clients to show just how these can be worn and used:
Seasonal spirit wear for schools
Holiday napkins and place settings
Holiday crafting parties
Employee holiday card photos
Matching family attire for holiday card photos
USA-made, 100% cotton woven
Christmas throw blanket
The key for apparel decorators is to make sure all of this information is shared with your customer. Don’t just be their printer — be their partner.
If your clients are looking for something a little bigger, consider the USA-made, 100% cotton woven Christmas throw blanket from Bandanna Warehouse. These blankets bring authentic American craftsmanship to your customers this season. Created on jacquard looms in North Carolina, every design is woven directly into the blanket — not surface printed — using thousands of interwoven cotton threads to create remarkable color, texture, and artistic detail.
The custom jacquard woven blanket is the premium holiday gift that’s available in the following sizes:
- The Classic – 54x72”
- The Value Pick – 54x62”
- The Statement Square – 62x62”
- The Showpiece – 62x84”

Now Is The Time To Ask!
A second piece of successfully fulfilling all those holiday orders is quick turnarounds. Every apparel decorator hopes its customers will also place their holiday orders well in advance, but the reality is that many of them will wait until the last minute.
That’s where Bandanna Warehouse steps in.
Working hand-in-hand with U.S. mills and finishers (Hamrick Mills in Gaffney, South Carolina, and Tryon Finishing in Tryon, North Carolina), the company delivers bandannas and blankets that embody the craftsmanship, tradition, and trust of American manufacturing … and they do it quickly. They offer five to eight working day production to meet those rapid-fire orders.
The best time to talk to customers about holiday gifting isn't when they realize they've forgotten about it. It's before they've made their plans somewhere else.
If it hasn’t happened already, start the gifting conversation now. Apparel decorators must offer products at multiple value levels, lean on reliable partners like Bandanna Warehouse for product availability, and keep domestic and quick-turn options available when the inevitable late-season requests arrive.
Don't wait for customers to ask you for holiday merch. Go to them with a gifting strategy that includes unique custom products available from a domestic partner.
