6. Caps

Are you the coach of a little league?  Giving caps to your players is a great gift item that you can create right in your own home.  Simply create a design with your team’s logo and then print them on fabric transfer papers.  Cut these print outs and transfer them onto the cap with the use of an iron.  Remember to flip the design before printing to make sure that it transfers right side up onto the cap.

7.  Pens

Ball pens and markers can also be customized without having to spend a fortune.  All you would need is to print out the message that you would like to include onto window decals and stick them onto them.  Window decals make excellent printing materials because they are clear and work with both inkjet and laser printers.  

8. Business card holders

For that special someone, getting a shiny business card holder is a great gift idea.  Add a special touch by personalizing it with his or her name.  Again, window decals would work well for this because it can stick even on slippery surfaces like glass and metal.  

9. Bags

Fabric tote bags are very handy, especially for teenagers heading out to college.  It also makes wonderful giveaways for your existing customers, clients and staff members.  You could easily create this by printing out onto a transfer paper the design that you want and simply iron it out onto the fabric tote bag.

Military caps

When most of us think of military caps, we think of the caps worn by military officers.  Whilst it is true that military caps throughout its evolution have served a range of functions within the military context, nowadays it is also considered an acceptable fashion accessory.  In fact, military caps as a form of casual or worn for leisure is very popular among both men and women.

For both men and women, military caps have become synonymous with adventure and also associated with a more outdoor and daring lifestyle.  For women, the peak on the cap and the fact that it hugs the head is seen as flattering as it accentuates and possibly shows the face of the woman in a positive light.  For men, the fitted nature of the cap and also possibly the range of colours it comes in has been a popular selling point.  Nowadays, not only do they come in the normal vintage colours, but also a range of modern and exciting colours that would appeal to all age groups.

For many, the military caps are a great alternative to the well-known peaked caps worn at sports events.   In an era where there is growing awareness of wars in the world, any association with anything military is seen on the one hand as a means of supporting the country troops.  On the other hand, it is also in going with a trend where the average person has been fascinated with military culture and dress.  The move to making military fashion in the form of pants (or jeans) and this case military caps available as part of the fashion trends capitalises on this fascination.  Unlike its brother in headgear the peak cap, military caps are easily foldable to be included in one's luggage.

Military caps as mentioned earlier is not only associated with fashion, but some, because of its associations with the military it is associated with adventure and power.  The association of military caps with fashion has ensured that many of us can join in, possibly individualising and stamping our identity on it and joining the ranks of the powerful.  After all, those who do not believe in their own power can possibly acquire it through a cap which when worn makes the wearer believe it.  So whilst some would only see a cap – the possibilities for use are endless.
