Still Planning Holiday Gifts? Let Excel Help!
Custom Shirts, Hoodies, Jackets & Business Gifts — There's Still Time to Create Something Special!
The holidays are coming! Is your business ready?
November is here, and before you know it, the holiday parties, employee celebrations, customer appreciation events, and year-end festivities will be in full swing. If you've been thinking about custom shirts, hoodies, jackets, hats, or gifts for your employees and customers, now is the perfect time to get things moving.
At Excel Sportswear, we believe the best gifts are more than just something with a company logo. They're gifts people actually enjoy receiving, wearing, and using. Gifts that celebrate your business, recognize your hardworking employees, and show customers how much you appreciate them.
And this holiday season, we'd like to make things even easier. We'll even take care of the shipping!

Make This Year's Holiday Gifts Something They'll Remember
Anyone can put a logo on a shirt. At Excel, we believe there's an opportunity to do something much more meaningful. Imagine giving your employees a hoodie featuring an original illustration of your actual trucks, equipment, or the work your company does every day. Or surprising your customers with a beautifully designed shirt that celebrates your business, its history, or the people who make it successful.
That's what makes Excel different. Since 1982, our in-house artists have specialized in creating original, hand-illustrated artwork that tells the story of the businesses we serve.
We don't just put your logo on a shirt. We help tell "The Story of You."
And the holidays are a wonderful opportunity to share that story with the people who matter most to your business.
Holiday Gift Ideas They'll Actually Use
Not sure what to order? Here are a few favorites worth considering this season.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts — A Warm Way to Say Thank You
A comfortable hoodie with a great-looking custom design is a gift employees and customers will appreciate long after the holidays.
Choose from lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight styles, depending on your budget and how they'll be worn.
Add your company logo or go one step further with a custom illustration that celebrates your business.
Jackets & Winter Workwear — Gifts That Work as Hard as Your Team
For employees who spend their days in the shop, on a jobsite, or out in the field, a quality jacket or warm sweatshirt makes a thoughtful and practical holiday gift.
Add custom embroidery or artwork and turn everyday winter apparel into something that builds company pride.
Custom T-Shirts — Still a Holiday Favorite!
A great-looking T-shirt never goes out of season.
Whether it's a new design featuring your company's equipment, an anniversary celebration, or simply something fun for your crew, custom shirts are a terrific way to thank employees and build enthusiasm for the year ahead.
Hats, Tumblers & Promotional Gifts — A Little Something for Everyone
Looking for gifts for customers, suppliers, business partners, or your entire team?
Consider embroidered hats, drinkware, bags, keychains, and other custom promotional products.
These are especially useful when you want to recognize a large group without worrying about collecting everyone's clothing sizes.

Have an Idea? Great. Need an Idea? We've Got Something Fun for You!
Here's where things get even more exciting.
At Excel, we've introduced our new Concept Generator, a creative tool that helps you explore custom apparel design ideas using our extensive collection of artwork developed over more than four decades.
Want to see your tow truck featured on a shirt? Your construction equipment? Your company mascot? Maybe something completely different for your holiday celebration?
The Concept Generator makes it fun and easy to get the creative process started.
It's FREE to try, there's no obligation, and you don't need to be an artist!
Once you've developed an idea you like, Excel's professional artists can help refine it, personalize the details, and prepare it for production.
It's a great way to turn an idea into something special for your business.
Already Have a Favorite Excel Design? Let's Put It to Work!
You don't always need to start from scratch.
If Excel has already created a design your employees love, the holidays may be the perfect opportunity to bring it back.
Consider reordering your popular T-shirts, putting an existing design on sweatshirts, or refreshing an older design for a new season.
You can even explore coordinating items for employees and customers.
Reusing existing artwork may help simplify the early stages of an order, giving us more time to focus on the products and details that matter.
Why Ordering Now Really Matters
Here's something that often gets overlooked during the holiday rush.
Shipping deadlines and custom apparel ordering deadlines are two very different things.
Unlike a gift sitting on a store shelf, your custom order may require artwork, product selection, design approval, printing or embroidery, packaging, and shipping.
And remember, your holiday deadline may come well before Christmas Day.
Maybe your company party is December 5. Maybe you're handing out gifts at Thanksgiving. Or perhaps you need new jackets for your employees before the next stretch of cold weather.
The sooner we begin, the more options we can explore together. For example, the USPS recommends December 17 as the 2026 Ground Advantage send-by date for expected delivery before Christmas within the lower 48 states. But that's for packages already prepared to ship — not for placing a new custom apparel order.
Our advice? Don't wait for the holiday rush to make your plans.
Tell us when you need your products, and we'll work with you to determine the best available options and a realistic delivery schedule.
