A crayon can be made in a variety of forms but is usually a stick of coloured wax or chalk. The word crayon itself comes from the French for chalk "craie". The idea of combining coloured pigments with wax goes back to the Ancient Egyptians and was also much used by the Romans, but this was usually to produce an image directly rather than to create a tool for colouring. In modern Europe a form of crayon may have been used by Leonardo da Vinci but it is in the late 18th century that crayons as we now know them were first used.
Regardless of their origins, crayons make excellent tools for drawing and illustrating and so they make excellent promotional giveaways. For just such a great gift idea why not have a look at the
Colouring Crayon Set. Any child (or adult) would be more than pleased to receive these crayons, thus giving your corporate profile the best kind of boost.
Today crayons are as popular as they ever were and continue to be sold right alongside pencils, textas and other colouring tools. Their inexpensiveness as well as usefulness as a drawing tool certainly contributes to this popularity. After all, who doesn't remember drawing something with a crayon when they were young?
All this doesn't mean that the crayon isn't keeping up with the times. An excellent example of this are the
Crayon Pens. This style of crayon is a very clever design that allows the crayon to be cleanly held within a sturdy holder and the crayon itself pushed out at need. This is a great little idea and a great little promotional giveaway.
Next time you are looking for an inexpensive but useful promotional gift you will not do better than taking up the opportunities offered by the great range of crayons available.
