Promotional Items

Water Bottles

This doesn’t have to be a boring items, you can make it cool by choosing the right bottle. There’s various styles you can customize to incorporate your logo and any other aspects of your branding.

Holiday Corporate Gift Guide [2023]

We’re once again approaching that time of the year in which gifts are a great way to cement your relationship with new and old clients and even your own employees. People love receiving unexpected gifts, and it’s even better when it’s from a business they already know and trust. We’ll take you through the most effective corporate gifts for this holiday season.


Corporate Gifts

Most corporate clients spend hours sitting and working from a desk, so we think stationary gifts items are one of the safest options. However, thinking outside of the box can earn you extra points with clients.

Corporate gifts have the potential to deepen the clients perception of your brand by offering a physical touchpoint that makes people happy. It might seem like a small thing, but when an employee, customer or lead interacts with a nice water bottle or other fun gift stamped with your logo, they are more likely to have positive feelings toward your business.

Check Out What is Corporate Gifting and Why is it Important?

Gift Boxes

Impress your clients with a gift box full of different stationary items such as notebooks and coffee mugs or for the techies a portable charger with a docking station or even a potted plant! You can display your logo on many items by screen printing, laser engraving, and embroidery!

Tech lover Gift Box

Most of love technology especially if it’s something that can make our everyday life easier. Tech gifts include bluetooth speakers, portable chargers and cellphone accessories such as wireless headphones.

Themed Gift Box

For the end of the year we recommend a box stuffed with holiday favorites like hot chocolate with a mug and a sweater with your company logo can be a perfect way to say thank you and promote your business.

There are other products such as beanies, socks, and blankets that can also be printed with your company logo. This is a great option to guarantee 100% satisfaction from your client.

Fully Custom Swag Boxes

Customizing packaging and other wrapping elements may show your client that you’re focused on your branding and care about your product or service. As a fully equipped merch agency, Family Industries has helped hundreds of brands create unique and fully customized gift boxes for clients, employees, and events.


A new study estimates the corporate gifting market will reach $242 billion this year and continue growing at an accelerated 8.1% CAGR through 2024.

Choosing The Right Swag

This process is usually worked out with your chosen merch printer, however, certain products may make more sense than others. Additionally, budget may be something to consider as some items will be more economical than others. Either way, the goal is to be able to clearly display your logo. The list below shows items that will best highlight a logo.

A Printed Hoodie

A sweatshirt is a great way to display your logo and making the person wearing it a walking billboard for your company.

Remember, not only is your logo important but creating a design with your company name or within the logo is recommended so as to add a more customized element to the gift.

A Printed Tote Bag

Tote bags are classic pieces of swag. But this model is so robust, so well-made and so perfectly-sized that we often see our customers give them out as high-demand gifts for their team members and or clients.

Once again, getting creative with the logo design is important as items like these are often used for every day thing such as grocery shopping.

Travel Mug

A regular mug or a travel mug is also a safe choice and a great canvas for your logo. There are different types of mugs such as thermal mug, camping mug, or a tumblr that keeps beverages cold or warm. Tumblers especially usually have a finish that has a premium-feeling which is why we like to recommend it.

Bluetooth Speaker

Portable bluetooth speakers are a more expensive gift option, however, it’s an items that most people use and can be the best gift for a more tech focused client. Speakers can be printed with your logo and your brand colors. Ask us how!
