Thanksgiving is the unique time of the year when we share a bit of ourselves, our homes, and our abundance of food with the people we love and our community. There are few holidays when it is socially acceptable to eat as much as you are physically able, take an afternoon nap, and then wake up to eat some more. And although we often associate major holidays with taking time off of work, spending time with people we care about, and practicing family traditions, we also find joy in making special recipes, teaching them to our children, and opening our homes to those who are less fortunate.

When it comes to the best corporate holiday gifts, DiscountMugs has got you covered. From unique designs to handy pieces of equipment, we have everything for your beloved clients and trusty employees this holiday season (and throughout the year, too!).

If you’re anything like me, you wait all year long for the Holiday Catalog. Not only do they help make the holidays magical with décor ideas for the home and office space, but somewhere in those pages hides the perfect gift for every single person on your list – don’t mention the incredible deals.

Every year, we celebrate and remember our nation’s veterans on November 11 ^th, a day that we dedicate to expressing infinite gratitude for their bravery and service.

The Wounded Warrior Project is a reputable organization that provides service and various programs for wounded veterans. This year, you can also celebrate our veterans in a special manner with fun, colorful and durable fundraising products that honor the occasion long after the holiday ends.

The autumn season represents change and reflection. Leaves fall to prepare the ground for hibernation, children go back to school, and a new harvest begins.  

You and your partner have decided to take the plunge and tie the knot. While it’s a wonderfully exciting first step towards a life together, planning a wedding can be a huge undertaking. It’s common for couples to want their big day to be a celebration of their love, an expression of their personalities, an experience for their guests, and a day they will never forget, all while going off without a hitch. Every little detail needs to be considered and every possible choice to be explored before deciding on the right one. From the venue to the photographer to the flowers or wedding invitations or personalized party favors, all aspects of the wedding need to be purposefully chosen and carefully planned out and executed. 

If you have a big milestone coming up, a birthday, an engagement, an anniversary, or a wedding, you may be planning on gathering your friends and family together for a celebration. Maybe you don’t need an excuse to party, but you want to offer your guests something a little different at your next event. Whatever the occasion, hosting a theme party is a great way to get everyone involved and provide all your party guests an interactive and well-rounded experience.

Weddings are the one day in our lives we get to go all out, dress up in our fanciest clothes, bring together everyone we care about, and to live out a fairytale.

Weddings are the perfect ending to your dating relationship, and the perfect prologue to your marriage, but they don’t often come cheaply. The average cost of a wedding today exceeds what many people pay for a down payment on a house.

Will your custom giveaways communicate an accurate translation of your message? The uncertainty can make the shopping experience somewhat daunting, but at DiscountMugs we strive to make the process easier.
