Planning and orchestrating a yearly family gathering to catch up on each others' lives can be a daunting task...but very well worth it in the end. Your clan wants to get together to celebrate the love and closeness that everyone feels towards one another. You want to help everyone pay tribute to your close-knit group by giving away meaningful keepsakes and memorabilia that each attendee can take home; but, you need some good family reunion gift ideas. A great place to start is by putting together a gift and SWAG bag or welcome packet in order to send items home with your family members to create lasting reunion memories. Then choose personalized favors that are custom printed with your family's mottos, crests, or logos...items that come from the heart and can be used, displayed and saved for years to come. When choosing your reunion giveaways, attempt to compliment the type of event...are you picnicking? Consider cooler totes, bottle openers, or folding chairs. How about a weekend camping trip? You might want to take a look at beer steins, hoodies or stadium seats. If you are spending the day at an amusement park or beach, ideal hand outs might include family reunion t-shirts, sun block, can/bottle coolers or sun visors.
When old classmates get together, it serves as a fun reminder of the school memories that they share and will last a lifetime and it provides an opportunity to rekindle old friendships. You hope to plan the perfect class reunion and one of your to-do items on your list is to select door prizes and class reunion favors to hand out when welcoming your guests as they arrive or as memento that says 'thank you for attending' as they depart. After-all, some of your schoolmates may have traveled far and endured some expense to participate in the class reunion. Customized picture frames, etched or screen printed wine glasses and fleece jackets are useful and economical gifts that everyone will appreciate. Create a new tradition that will help break the ice and get people mingling and talking...try out badge ribbons with funny and witty phrases and come up with a game or challenge to play during the event. And...don't forget your all-important badge holders!
