Looking for fun ideas

[twinmomma]

Ok ladies... Help me think outside the box here. I'm stumped. 

What would you like to receive as a congrats gift for earning a tropical vacation? All attendees get a beach bag, towel, sunglasses when they arrive. Looking for something small-ish to mail out ahead of time that would be fun/useful. I think my team and I are too deep in the weeds and overthinking it right now.

Sunscreen? Oversized gender-neutral tanktop? Koozies? Chapstick with sunscreen? Lotion with aloe vera? Beach hat? Water bottle?

[callmekd]

+1 to HeartofCheese's ideas. or what about a waterproof phone case?

[2chatter]

Depends on where but you could send a food teaser like rum cake or jerk seasoning or an alcohol optional drink mixer set (like mojito). Reef friendly sunblock. Branded beach towel.

Fanny pack? Snack pack? Handheld mini-fan? Spritzing water bottle? Backpack? Sandproof bag to bury your valuables while you swim?

I work for a not-for-profit, where we don't get anything (unless you're an exec), so I had to chuckle at a teaser gift for a free tropical vacation.

I like the ideas of sunscreen, beach hat, water bottle. Or maybe a Tervis or Yeti-type cup.

Airplane snacks.
Netflix gift cards so they can download things to watch on the plane.

Thank you all!
We're probably doing hats in the big gift pack, so those are out as a pre-gift. (And yes covergirl82 totally ridiculous level of gifting occurs... haha)
Some kind of nice water bottle might be it. I like the Tervis style cup too. That would look impressive.
We've been doing the trip for so long it's hard to come up with something different. A good percentage of people go every year, so we have to try and mix it up.

A neck pillow for the plane?

Maybe not in the fun category but a branded luggage tag might be useful. A collapsible water bottle might be easier to send and pack for them.

A branded luggage tag is something that I would actually use, and because once it gets stuck on a bag I never seem to take them off, it would be a gift that keeps giving.

[twinmomma]

justcheckingin73, phdmomma, Luggage tags were actually top of our list this year! But then it just felt not impressive enough... Maybe we just need to go back to those, but find something nice to go with it.

Small yeti or yeti like brand with company logo to keep cold drinks cold while they enjoy the beach or pool?

[mommyatty]

Oh! I got a little Velcro thing that goes around my bag handle with our company logo on it. Sort of like a cushioned grip. I put it on my carryon so I immediately know which black bag is mine. EVERYONE asks where I got it.

ETA- Like this. www.anypromo.com/bags-luggage/bag-accessories-tags/neoprene-luggage-gripper-p666002?utm_source=PLA&utm_medium=PC&utm_campaign=666002&g=1&glppc=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6P_1997B2gIVkYZpCh1d2QGxEAQYAiABEgLEbfD_BwE

twinmomma , I am going to need to know where you work that you can win a tropical vacation. I am no help with the actual question however, I am still stuck on the tropical vacation.


ETA: I just read earn not win. I would work my butt off to earn a tropical vacation. 

[twinmomma]

LOL mommyatty, those are SUPER popular as a promo item whenever we've given them out in the past, and none of us can figure out why. In the world of promo, they're one of the cheapest, easiest things to get. So that just goes to show that we're way overthinking it.

[erinshelley21]

What xctsclrx said. You get a gift for earning a reward? Rewards and gifts are like my 2 favorite things.

[sweetptater]

My first thought was a bottle opener, but I'm not how that = tropical vacation. I love some of these other ideas though. The luggage gripper thing is a great idea. I've never seen one before!

[twinmomma]

Oh, and if any of you are in sales or healthcare, I'll try to hook you up with a job!
