All About Us

Roosevelt High School cups for my friend Ron!

For our 2019 Product of the Year, multiple employees nominated our Engraved Tumblers -  the ultimate drink holder!  In a wide range of colors and sizes, our engraved Tumblers can be customized with any logo or name, perfect for a sports team, corporation, or just a fun gift for friends!

Made of double walled stainless steel, our tumblers keep hot liquids steaming hot and cold drinks icy cold; in fact, ice stays frozen for up to 24 hours!

Our tumblers keep drinks up to temperature for 2x as long as a standard tumbler.  Lead and BPA free, the outer coating of the tumbler is laser engraved to silver for FREE with a name or logo of your choice. Hand wash only, our personalized mug includes a plastic lid with drink hole for straw. We offer large 30oz tumbers, standard 20oz tumblers, and short 10oz tumblers.  They are also available for wine in two sizes!

What I love about these tumblers is they can be customized for any occasion.  They are my favorite gift to give to friends and family.

We made wine tumblers for our trip to Walla Walla, Wa for wine tasting!

I made them for my daughter's cheerleading team, my friend Whitney made them for her teammates after they landed a huge corporate account, my other friend Peggy gave them as Christmas gifts to "Her Ladies"!  So versatile, our tumblers make a practical gift that everyone loves.  I use my cup daily, in fact I have one on my desk as I write this post!

Nominated by Lori, Tom, and myself, our personalized tumblers are easy to engrave, wash and wear well.  A great gift and a well-deserved 2019 Product of the Year!

Cheers!

Tropar Manufacturing located in Ennis, Tx.

This past weekend I was visiting family outside of Dallas and made a stop at Tropar Manufacturing, located in Ennis, Texas.  This company is one of our top 3 suppliers and was our 2016 Vendor of the Year.  Tropar makes many of our art glass awards, quickship acrylic awards, glass awards and all of our high quality plaques, including all of the plaques we offer that are "Made in the USA".

Kathy Woods, our Customer Service Rep Extraordinaire (and one of Tom's favorite people), gave me a tour of the facility.  Kathy oozes southern hospitality and generously took time out of her day to show me around Tropar's three warehouses.  She introduced me to the people who create beautiful awards for our customers.

The shipping warehouse for Tropar, with Kathy my tour guide!

At Tropar, I saw their shipping facility where they send awards across the country, their manufacturing facility where they cut out the medal plates for the plaques they sell, and their assembly warehouse where all of their plaques are put together.  This is all done here in the USA, with real people and real jobs!  It was impressive to see.

My take away from this visit is that Tropar employees truly care about the products they sell.  Made with care and craftsmanship, LOVE goes into each and every plaque they make, which in turn goes to you, our Trophies2Go Customers!  Their products are top notch.

These plates are made and assembled in Texas.

If made in the USA matters to you, your purchase of Tropar plaques keeps jobs in our country.  Also the love and care that goes into each award is apparent, their quality is second-to-none.  The visit to our supplier Tropar makes me proud to sell their products and I will be adding even more to our website soon!

Cheers,

Jessica

We create many awards for our customers, but often we don't know the impact of our work. Then we hear a story like this, we know that our work makes a difference in people's lives and it's so rewarding!  Read customer Laurie's story from CliimateWorks Foundation:

Hi, Jessica – I’m happy to have the opportunity to tell you what a great experience it was working with Mike and Laurie to create the award cubes for our Kigali Cooking Efficienc

K-CEP awards ceremony in Africa.

y Program (K-CEP) annual meeting. We do climate work around the world and the group that met in Africa in January focuses on cooling issues. The cubes were a take on “ice cubes” and we thought we were pretty clever to find something so perfect!

From the minute I called your company, Mike was in contact with me from start to finish. He sent me samples so that we could pick the right size cube. He put me in touch with Laurie for the engraving and made some great suggestions about how best to position the copy. He made sure the awards were completed within my deadline and sent to San Francisco. The cost to create and ship them fit our budget. It was just a flawless transaction.

This image features the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame.

Our meeting was to be held in Nairobi on January 28 but due to a terrorist attack in the city a week before we were to depart, at the advice of our CEO and security consultants we moved everything to Kigali in Rwanda. I had spent 3 months planning the event for 70 people in Nairobi and we had to turn it all around in 5 days to go to a different country. Mike made sure the awards arrived in San Francisco on time and we were thrilled to have them before we left. Each of our team members packed a few in their suitcases and the awards arrived without a scratch.

I called Mike when I returned to let him know what a hit the awards were, and that our team unanimously agreed, if the cubes were still available, that we would continue to order them for our future annual meetings.

I thought you might enjoy seeing some photos of our awards dinner – the second picture includes the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame (2^nd from left), accepting an award for his work on cooling initiatives in his country. The third is my hand with one of the cubes – in the evening lights at the dinner they looked like jewels!

Please know how much we appreciate the outstanding partnership Mike provided in creating a memorable gift for K-CEP. Best regards, Laurie

Thank you ClimateWorks for trusting our company to make such memorable awards, we are truly honored!  We appreciate the work you do to help our planet.

Cheers!

It's my pleasure to announce our 2018 Customer of the Year, Larry Gerdts from PACCAR.

PACCAR's Larry Gerdts, Trophies2Go's 2018 Customer of the Year!

A long time customer, Larry orders award plaques for PACCAR's Six Sigma certification program, custom annual awards, and coordinates many big company recognition events, such as Chairman's Awards for PACCAR's International Teams.

Our "Best Dressed" customer, he always wears a smart suit and tie when he comes to pick up his awards.  And he's easy going and a pleasure to work with.

Larry was nominated by Mika, who helps him with all of his orders.  Here is what she had to say about working with Larry:

"Larry Gerdts is one of the most easy going customers that I have the pleasure of working with. He is always organized, calm and collected, even when pressured by various departments within his company all telling him at once that they needed awards "yesterday".  We've been lucky to have him as our customer for the last 5 years, and PACCAR is lucky to have him as an employee, as he makes every project he works on go smoothly."

Congratulations to Larry on your award and thank you PACCAR for your ongoing business.  We appreciate you!

Cheers!
