Our coolest picks to stay hydrated  

Ion 8 drinks bottle

Finally available on the promotional market, Ion8’s durable, leak-proof and dishwasher safe bottles have a child-safe flip-lid but are still easy to use. They can be full colour wrap-printed and the brand is committed to 100% carbon-neutral strategy - perfect for organisations that wish to showcase their green credentials. 

Cupple 2-in-1 bottle 

We love an item that has multiple uses and Cupple’s 2-in-1 water bottle and insulated cup ticks that box. This superbly designed system allows you to carry cold water or hot drinks in one clever, compact product.

Fortis / Astra drinks bottles 

These are two very different water bottles but they share some important specifications. They are both made from recycled stainless steel, vacuum insulated and can be used for carbonated drinks. These bottles are ideal for gym owners, outdoors companies or other businesses in the fitness and health sectors.

Sweet treats and branded water 

Tony’s Chocolonely Big Bars

As proud holders of an EcoVadis Platinum award, which recognises responsible, ethical sourcing and sustainable products, we couldn’t pass up the branding opportunity offered by Tony’s Chocolonely big bars. Not only are the bars delicious, but they also align with our values: Tony’s is committed to ethical chocolate production, ensuring fair practices throughout their supply chain. Businesses can be as creative as they want with the wrappers, making them a thoughtful way to engage customers, or thank clients and staff.

Happy Pills 

This tongue-in-cheek box of sweets could be one of the most powerful branding tools ever. After all, we always remember who makes us smile. This could be a kooky way to say thank you to staff, or a witty introduction to a new client.

Promotional Water Cans

Canned drinks are among the world’s most popular products, so why shouldn’t your brand enjoy some of that exposure? Fully printed cans mean companies can reach the customers other brands can’t, using zero plastic too.

Their compact size makes them easy to carry and hand out, whether at outdoor events, conferences or meetings.

Lots of companies package their promotional merchandise in a branded tote bag, because they’re practical and sustainable. But SMART BAG takes that concept and gives it an innovative twist, thanks to a built-in NFC tag. It contains a world of information about your brand and all customers and clients have to do to access it is tap the SMART BAG with their phones.
The possibilities are endless: direct users to your website, highlight event pages, showcase product launches, support charity fundraising campaigns, or even provide exclusive content or discounts. It’s an interactive, tech-forward way to make every branded bag more engaging, memorable and useful.

We couldn’t resist this cute lil’ guy with his squeezable head and pop-out eyes. It’s more than just a fun stress toy, it’s also a useful cable charger for multiple devices, including USB and type-C heads. Jelly Minis come in two sizes and are great for tech firms or office and home office environments.

Research has proved that plants enhance our mental health, which explains why seed boxes have boomed in popularity recently.

Superior stationery for all occasions

Novella Austen notebook 

Notebooks will always be a popular and sought-after item, but the Novella Austen offers a whole new world of customisation. The card cover comes in a range of materials and colours, there’s a choice of sizes and number of sheets and you can print your design to the pages or use the nine standard layouts. Want something even more bespoke to make your brand sparkle? Add a printed paper band or tip-in sheets.

NFC notebooks

We’ve seen the impact of technology on the promotional merchandise sector and as a leading supplier of quality products, we’re thrilled to say there’s no end to the goodies out there. This clever notebook caught our team’s eye: it combines a great quality item with NFC technology. Scanning your brand logo on the cover gives the notebook’s recipients access to all kinds of data about your company and in such style too!

Puzzle Pen 

Pens have been handed out as promotional merchandise for decades, but this quirky innovation has found a way to entertain people and put your brand name right in front of their eyes. Puzzle pens feature a maze that runs the length of the pen, with a little ball that has to be guided from one end to the other. Hours of fun and your company name or logo will be 100% front of mind.

 

Diplomat ballpen 

With a range of sleek, tactile designs, these German-made pens are an exquisite gift for executives, company owners and directors, or other high-end clients. Choose from fountain, rollerball or ballpoint pens, and mechanical pencils, all branded with your company name or colours.

 

Premium packaging 

Many businesses like to introduce themselves to new clients, show their appreciation for existing customers or staff, or celebrate birthdays or anniversaries with branded products. We know what they are sent in can be just as impactful as the items themselves. You can ensure your brand makes the best impression with fully customisable quality packaging options, including a premium bottle box to present bottled gifts in style, or sophisticated flip-lid boxes with a magnetic closure for added impact.

Our pick of the clever tech 

Mouva Mouse

This is one of those products that made our team wonder why it had taken so long for someone to invent it. The Mouva mouse does everything a traditional computer mouse does, but it folds perfectly flat. If you have clients or staff who travel as part of their work, they will love this smart bit of brandable kit - and they’ll remember who gave them it every time they use it.

 

LanGo keyring 

Creativity doesn’t always mean huge amounts of complexity. This simple but effective strap keyring is quick to attach to a belt or bag, makes it easier to reach your items and will carry your brand logo or colours wherever it goes. Perfect for almost every kind of business, from hospitality to security.   

 

Carbon Ultralight umbrella 

Golf umbrellas are one of the most popular branded products because they provide a large canvas for company logos, taglines or colours. But they can be unwieldy and heavy to carry around, especially for businesspeople on the go. This model changes all that. Ultra-light yet durable, it also has a 50+ sun protection factor and a soft handle. 

 

Emergency tools

No list of promotional merchandise would be complete without a Swiss-made multi tool and Victorinox has developed two specialised versions that are perfect for branding opportunities. Both glow in the dark and have LED lighting, while one has 23 functions and the other eight.
