Looking for Recommendations: Top Promotions Vendor for Awards

I'm looking for a really good promotions vendor for branded items. Someone you've worked with who creates quality stuff? Specifically for awards, as we're working on some customer awards. It's a really small number, though, so finding something under 5 is proving tough. It's only the 2nd time we've done awards and the last time was 2 1/2 years ago, so the award we did use doesn't seem to exist. There are so many companies that do promotions & branded stuff that it's difficult to know who does good work! If you have someone you love, please let me know. I believe the focus will be US for now, so located in and able to ship for US for now. (If that changes I'll update)
