Across our school and DOE client base, three things are already in motion: holiday and teacher gifts, school stores stocked with winter spirit wear, and graduation, which many schools are planning earlier this year.
If you’ve been meaning to get any of these started, now is the time. Here’s what schools are ordering, and how to get yours moving before the rush.
Holiday and Teacher Gifts
Personalized gifts are the biggest thing moving right now. Schools are ordering for teachers, staff, administrators and partners, and many want a different name on every piece.
What schools are choosing most:
- Glass tumblers printed in full color on equipment we run in-house
- Sublimated mugs with a name and school logo on each one
- Pillows and blankets, including hooded blankets, printed edge to edge
- Tote bags, screen printed or fully sublimated
- Water bottles, printed or etched, alone or as a set with a mug
Everything is produced in our Brooklyn shop. Personalized orders need time for name lists, proofs and production, so the earlier you send them, the smoother the holidays go.
Winter Spirit Wear Stores
Cold weather is here, and schools are opening online stores so families can order spirit wear all winter long. Hoodies, quarter-zips, crewnecks and beanies are leading the way.
Here’s how a school store works:
- Send us your logo. We apply your school’s official branding to every item.
- Choose your items. Pick from our core apparel in the styles and colors that fit your school.
- We build the store. Families, students and staff browse and order online.
- We handle the rest. Printing, shipping and customer support are on us.
There’s no collecting money, no tracking sizes on a clipboard and no boxes to sort in the main office. Set it and forget it.
Graduation, Planned Early
Graduation feels far off, but many of our schools are already locking it in. Starting now gives you room for custom colors, school logos, senior apparel and name lists without a spring scramble.
Graduation packages include a cap, gown and tassel, a graduation t-shirt, and a diploma cover or autograph book:
| Class size | Package price |
|---|---|
| 300+ graduates | $24.95 each |
| 100 to 300 graduates | $27.95 each |
| 41 to 100 graduates | $28.95 each |
Beyond the essentials, schools are adding:
- Shiny or matte cap, gown and tassel sets, with custom colors and sleeve printing
- Single and double honor cords, intertwined in your school colors
- Stoles, sashes and custom tassels
- Senior varsity jackets with embroidery and names
- Diploma cases, autograph albums and custom printed towels
- Class rings, honors medals and custom teddy bears
We also have free graduation design templates to get your class shirts and keepsakes started.

- Get a mockup and a quote. Our account managers and designers build it with you.
