Since its foundation in Spain in 1920, the El Casco brand has earned a worldwide reputation for quality and perfection in both design and manufacture. The El Casco range of desk accessories is, quite simply, as good as it gets. Beginning with the M-5 stapler (pictured, right), created in the 1930s and now a design classic, the company has developed an unrivalled collection of distinctive and perfectly engineered desk accessories.

Crafted in a fine quality chrome plated finish, these luxury desk accessories offer a real prestige value when presented as corporate or executive gifts. For partners, clients or employees who expect nothing but the very best from themselves and those around them, these exquisite instruments encapsulate the idea of perfection.

The Lalex 1938 brand was founded in Italy by Leopoldo Aquila and has been maintained and developed with the same sense of vision, style and flair by the Aquila family to the present day.

The brand is explicitly targeted at a sophisticated upper-class market and offers whole series of writing instruments and accessories specifically aimed at the prestige sector.

While the instruments themselves are, naturally, crafted to the very highest standards, the Lalex 1938 brand itself adds an extra dimension to these artefacts. The Lalex name derives from the initials of the founder, but as well as creating a visionary company Leopoldo Aquila also had a wide range of other interests, including a fascination with the legal world. This led him to design the distinctive logo featuring a pair of scales, and to this day a Lalex 1938 writing instrument is a popular and very well received corporate gift within the legal profession.

Today, an exquisite Lalex 1938 pen, packaged in a distinctive branded presentation case, makes an unforgettable corporate gift no matter what the industry or sector. Buy a Lalex 1938 silver pen and make a serious impression with your next corporate gift.

Business cards are an essential tool in the modern world of commerce, so you can be guaranteed a warm reception for any executive accessory that helps to enhance the impact of a business card presentation or exchange. A shiny, sturdy, metal business card case not only keeps your cards in pristine condition, it also makes an important statement about your attitude to your work and your respect for your clients, customers and prospects. A custom engraved silver card case speaks volumes about your professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity. At Uppermost, we offer a choice selection of silver plated business card holders with a style to suit every personality. But there's more! We also offer free text and logo engraving on all our pocket card cases, allowing you to add your company or brand name, logo or marketing message at no extra cost. Of course, you can also use our free engraving option to just add your own name or initials to a card case, but for business gifts in bulk we suggest a corporate branding - the cases themselves will always be used, and it is an outstanding opportunity to get your name or message in front of key personnel every time they use their business cards.

Keyrings have been a mainstay of promotional merchandise for decades, and with good reason. People use them! And if your company or brand has its name or logo on the keyring, it gets noticed every time the keys are used.

But promotional keyrings don't have to be cheap plastic giveaways. You can gain all the benefits of daily use and recognition, plus the added value of a high quality and prestige gift, by giving silver plated keyrings and keyfobs.

At Uppermost, we offer an extensive range of silver keyrings with free engraving, with a style and price to suit most corporate goals and budgets. We find that engraved silver keyrings are particularly popular as sales closing gifts for clients and customers, for instance in the property (real estate) and motoring sectors.

One of the most effective uses of corporate gifts is to commemorate a specific event or achievement. By associating the gift or award with a landmark occasion - for instance a major project completion, employee promotion, a team-building event, an awards ceremony, or achieving a particular business goal or target - it acknowledges and rewards the success in a meaningful and memorable way. What better way to do this than by engraving the details into a fine quality photo frame and then inserting a picture related to the event. Hey presto, a permanent souvenir of the achievement, presented in a suitably professional medium. We offer a choice selection of engraved silver photo frames on our Business Gifts Supplier web site, all offered with free text and logo engraving. Add your brand or company logo, along with details of the event or achievement, and create a commemorative corporate gift that rewards success and encourages future performance.

Branding an everyday item is a great way of getting your company name or brand noticed, every day. If you add an element of real quality to the item too, then you start to make some subtle - but very significant - associations between the quality of the gift and your own company or brand. One of the most successful branded corporate gift over the years has been a clock. After all, everybody needs to know the time, and by placing your identity next to this everyday function to ensure daily recognition. But not all clocks are born equal. At Uppermost, our selection of silver desk clocks features very fine quality silver plated clocks, all suitable for display on a desktop or workstation, and all ideal for engraving with a corporate logo or message. By adding an engraved dedication to the clocks you can create superb recognition awards or incentive gifts for your employees or suppliers.

They say 'the devil makes work for idle hands', but if you're a truly creative marketer then really its up to you to try to capture mindshare for your brand during those 're-charging' moments. And what better distraction than a branded executive toy or game? Our selection of luxury executive games features a range of silver and nickel plated games and toys, all suitable for engraving and all guaranteed to get your company or brand noticed by gift recipients. Add an engraved logo and/or message, and you're on to a winner with corporate gifts, employee incentives, or promotional merchandise.
