The wonderful world of promotional stress relievers and custom imprinted gifts can excite the senses and delight the intended recipient. The logo gift comes in all shapes and sizes, from the furry stuffed animal accessory, to the custom imprinted lollipop in your favorite flavor. Nearly any promotional product that you can dream up, more than likely, exists for the imprinting! And then there are those gifts that are cause for pause, and perhaps a bit of head-scratching wonderment.

 
And then there was the custom imprinted prostate shaped stress reliever. Admittedly, when I’m having one of those days where the fax machine is on the fritz, my clients are running late or the dog ate my homework, I reach for the nearest squeezie stress reliever. Who doesn’t? But I’m not entirely convinced my stress relieving inclination would find relief with a prostate. Call me crazy, and you wouldn’t be the first to do so.

I might however, reach out for a custom imprinted breast shaped squeezie. The mother archetype comes to mind as do the virtues she exudes: one of the nurturer, the healer and the Great Mother Earth. But, perhaps I am reading too much into the breast shaped stress reliever. 

Can promotional products cross the line from effective use of your marketing and branding dollars and creep, ever so easily into the cave of absurdity? While I strongly believe there is an ideal promotional product to fit every one of us, each a unique snowflake on the planet, perhaps some giveaways are better left to the imagination.
