A great thing about branded items is that you can put your branding on virtually any product you want.
Even if the product you want is a bottle opener that’s also a cup holder.
You may have never seen one of these before, but trust me when I say that they’re the BEST item for house and office parties.
All you have to do is to magnetically mount this to any flat metal surface, such as a grill or in your car.
We particularly recommend this gift for customers who enjoy throwing office parties and happy hours.
Idea #12: Eco Lunch Cooler
An eco lunch cooler does exactly what it promises to do.
It keeps your food and drinks cool so you don’t have to worry about freshness.
Plus, it’s made of recycled, laminated, non-woven material that’s fully wipeable, which means that it’s super easy to clean and remove any food or stains from the inside or outside.

When it comes to corporate gift giving, a branded card holder is simply a must.
Whether it’s to put notes, business cards, or credit cards in, a cardholder is a very handy accessory that’s gaining popularity because of its sleek look and its small and convenient size.
Anyone would appreciate a high-quality, stylish cardholder, but we think it’ll be the perfect gift for professionals who need to have a few essentials in their pockets all the time, like real estate agents for example.
Author’s Tip: Surprise your clients and customers with a gift card from your company in the card holder.
Idea #14: Stainless Steel Tumbler
There are some client gifts that are simply bound to make your corporate gift giving a success.
One of these gifts is a merchandise staple, a stainless steel tumbler.
Promotional tumblers are very popular because people use them multiple times a week and you can always own more than one tumbler.
That means that a tumbler is a great gift for anyone, even those people who already have one at home.
Author’s Tip: For the holidays, accompany your company tumbler with a fruit basket to make your gift more festive and impactful.

A branded relaxing candle is exactly that kind of gift.
It can be personalized to match your company branding and will help to keep your brand top of mind.
How?
Think about it.
A candle is something someone puts in the lounge, which means that they’ll get to see part of your brand on a regular basis.
Plus, they’ll subconsciously connect your brand with positive feelings of being calm and relaxed.
Author’s Note: A candle is one of the best gifts if you want to create birthday gifts for your best clients or if you’re putting together corporate holiday gift baskets.

I bet the previous gift idea has made you think of winter and cold weather.
Depending on whether you love cold weather or not, a winter snood will be a fantastic gift for clients and customers alike.
A snood is a versatile accessory that can be used as a face covering, beanie, hand-warmer, and neck gaiter.
It’s ideal for those customers of yours who enjoy going skiing and jogging on chilly days.

For example, if you forgot to turn off your hair straightener, no problem! You can turn on and off your devices using the plug’s app.
Plus, this little device is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
Do I need to say anything else?
Idea #25: 16-in-1 Multi-Tool
A 16-in-1 multi-tool might not be as smart as the smart plug we’ve just discussed, but it sure is a practical item that can be branded with your company name or logo.
This brilliant multi-tool includes a bottle opener, knife, flat-head screwdriver, flashlight, laser pointer, and so on and so forth.

They’re super warm and cozy and 100% touchscreen-friendly, which means that you can keep them on and use your phone at all times.
