Promotional gifts can sometimes prove to be a challenge at the end of the year. No matter if you’re choosing products to reward your team for a hard year of work, or offering clients and prospects a holiday gift, selecting a meaningful gift that hits the mark is important. 

With thousands of brands out there and endless products to choose from, how do you narrow down the best options? We’re here to help. 

Here are 6 of our favorite retail brands that work well for your promotional gifting needs this holiday season. 

Patagonia

We LOVE branded Patagonia gear for end of year gifting for so many reasons: 

  • High quality products that look and feel good.
  • They promote fair labor practices and safe working conditions.
  • They aspire to build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.
  • Embroidered logos look excellent on these products. 

Ember

Coffee just the way we like it – hot! 

Ember offers drinkware, specifically mugs, that keep your beverages temperature controlled for up to 80 minutes. If you pair with their charging coaster then beverages can be kept for 24 hours!  Using Ember’s app, you’re able to program your drink settings by choosing the temperature and duration you want your drink to stay warm. 

Have your logo laser engraved or pad printed and keep your brand in front of your clients and employees as you help them stay caffeinated throughout the day!

Cotopaxi

We originally heard about this brand on a podcast and we had to learn more. Their promise is to make durable gear in the most ethically sustainable way possible. In an effort to be as sustainable as possible, every product is one-of-a-kind. As part of their (Re)Purpose Collection, no two bags are exactly alike as they are made from leftover fabric from other companies’ larger production runs. Gifting Cotopaxi items can be a bold statement in sustainability! 

YETI

Make a big impression with gifts from popular retail brand YETI. The combination of their insulating qualities (keeps drinks warm or cool all day!) and brand reputation (who doesn’t know what a YETI is?) makes these products a great giftable item. 

Miir

Have you heard of MiiR? If not, you will want to learn about them now! They are a company that puts design, generosity and sustainability at their core. Committed to giving back, their products are good for the environment but just as important, they look cool too. 

We love recommending branded MiiR products to our clients. Everything they create is beautiful and made of the highest quality!

Marine Layer 

Imagine the softest shirt you own. We can guarantee that everything Marine Layer makes is even softer! Really! Known for their super soft fabrics, you cannot go wrong with anything from this brand.
