Believe it or not, the holiday season is right around the corner. And what would the holidays be without spreading a little cheer in the form of promotional swag for your employees and customers? After all, it’s the time of year when showing a little gratitude and appreciation can go a long way in helping to make the season even brighter. And while doing so, you will also be promoting your brand and showing how creative you are with your awesome gift ideas. Here are five swag gift themes that are certain to please both your employees and customers this holiday season.
Back to the Future
Everyone yearns for the “good old days,” so why not offer some nostalgic swag that’s sure to delight those who fondly remember the halcyon days of their youth? Your employees and customers will appreciate branded items such as bubble wands, neon rubber sunglasses, television show themed mugs, or retro cartoon tote bags.
And don’t forget about incorporating images of vintage items such as cassette tapes, boom boxes, Polaroid cameras, or roller skates on more practical swag gifts like reusable water bottles, Bluetooth headphones and speakers, or health and well-being kits. And for those who need a little distraction during long conference calls you could consider giving out fidget spinners, desktop mini-games and puzzles, or doodle pads.
Practical Is Always a Good Bet
During the holiday season, your employees and customers will value practical swag items, particularly because they’ll likely receive so many gifts that they can’t use on an everyday basis. Just like you, your employees and customers are always on the go, so what could be more functional than power banks to charge their smartphones, colorful phone or tablet sleeves, or travel adaptors for those who frequently travel outside of the country on business or for pleasure?
Wellness Is a Winner
Let’s face it, the holidays are a time for enjoying tasty treats and decadent dishes, so your employees and customers will appreciate a gift they can use to help them get back to leading a healthy lifestyle after the New Year. Whether it’s reusable water bottles, pedometers, heart trackers, or even yoga mats, they will thank you when they recognize how you’re thinking about their health and well-being.
And you can also consider stress-reducing gift ideas such as koosh balls, scalp massagers, mini Zen gardens, or aromatherapy oils. Any of these calming swag gifts will come in handy throughout the year but especially during the holiday season when stress levels rise.
Tech Accessories Can Be Just the Ticket
None of your employees or customers are likely to be disappointed with swag that helps them get more out of the gadgets they own. From smartphone wallets, which allow them to carry their IDs, credit cards, and ATM cards so that they won’t have to lug around an actual wallet or purse during a quick trip to the store, to technology kits that include phone and car chargers, earbuds, and clip-and-hold phone/tablet stands, you can’t go wrong. The more functional, the more your employees and customers will appreciate your gift.
Who Couldn’t Use More Work Swag?
Considering your employees and customers spend about a quarter or more of their time each week on the job, productivity gifts are highly valued. Swag such as monthly planners and desk organizers help employees manage their days and declutter their desks; while high-capacity USB thumb drives can provide the extra storage for important documents and files. And who wouldn’t notice a colorful branded mouse pad each time they click on their mouse to start a program or scroll up and down a page?
