We interrupt your regularly scheduled series posts to bring you this special message! We’ve recently been talking to our custom stress ball suppliers and factory reps, and they’ve given us some inside scoops we want to share with you.
In this ever-changing world, where the only thing consistent is inconsistency, preparation is key! So let’s dive into getting prepped for big events in the second half of 2020!
Delayed graduations mean there’s still time to get custom grad gifts!
Blog posts in this series
High schools, colleges, and universities across the country were hit hard when COVID-19 threw off graduation plans. Many institutions opted for virtual graduations, but even more opted to delay the event until later in the year so grads could actually walk the stage, get the degree, shake hands, flip the tassel, the whole nine yards.
Our reps tell us the good thing is, that means there’s still time for school administration, divisions of Student Life, marketing departments, parents, class presidents–whoever!–to get grad swag for the class of 2020! From mascots to mortarboard hats, we have custom stress balls in every shape you can imagine. And if you have imagined one we actually don’t have, we can work with you to create it! Talk about customization!

Get a jump on all the holidays with fun, custom shapes
Even when the world isn’t in a constant state of flux, shipping times can vary and delays can happen. Over the past few months though shipping, especially from outside the US, is much slower than usual. So even though most of the major US holidays are months away, it’s not too early to start planning and ordering your holiday giveaways. Check out these awesome ideas:
- Independence Day (Saturday, July 4): Patriotic stress balls in all shapes and sizes
- Labor Day (Monday, September 7): Office and workplace, city and civil, medical and science, professions and people, and tons of other categories of jobs to celebrate
- Veteran’s Day (Wednesday, November 11): Lots of the patriotic stress balls work here, too, and we also have military stress balls!
- Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 26): turkey stress balls, or these other turkey stress balls
- Christmas (Friday, December 25): This Santa or this Santa, one of several snowmen, and many more
Now, we know this list isn’t all inclusive. In fact, these are only the holidays that have federal observances associated with them. If a holiday you celebrate at your workplace or school isn’t listed, contact us about creating something new and unique just for you!
