There are many badges for school that need to be acquired on an annual basis. As the Grade 5’s and Grade 12’s move on to greater things, the prefects go with them. Every year new prefects as well as head prefects need to be chosen to assist the teachers in controlling learners in the schools. These prefects need new badges and the badges cannot simply be passed down from one year to the next. Most prefects also prefer to keep their badges so that they can remember their leadership qualities and the other characteristics that got them chosen as prefects in the first place. Make sure you choose badges that are hard wearing and will last not only one year but for a life time.

Lapel pins are used to depict a variety of things. The most popular items these days are pins that represent ribbons for causes such as HIV/AIDS and breast cancer awareness.

Corporate gifts
The value of corporate gifts should never be underestimated. Gone are the days when pens were bought in bulk and simply handed out left, right and centre. With a little thought, corporate gifts could become so much more than a simple token – it can become an object that works for you.
When you hand someone the aforementioned pen, they know that it carries no special meaning. The gift feels hollow. But a gift that says you thought about it, immediately carries more value, and has the power to create a positive headspace about your company in that person’s mind. You could have something custom made, or simply engrave the person’s name on it to make it more personal. Gifts that are useful in their profession can also serve as a constant reminder of your company every time they use it. Contact us at Trophy & Medal Boutique and let us help you with corporate gifts that hit home.
