Giving a great gift can add a wow factor to your holiday party or can make your clients and employees feel appreciated. However, choosing the right gift can be a challenge. Luckily, we have options that can make your recipient feel special, whatever your budget. The trick is choosing items within your budget that have a higher perceived value than the price point.

Under $5

A gift is always appreciated, no matter the price point. For options starting at just around $1 that make a big impact on a small budget, look for items at your price-point that have premium materials and elements. Metal pens with contrasting trim and stylish metal cardholders have a luxe look without breaking the bank. Promotional products made with natural materials like bamboo and cotton don’t have to come with a big price tag. While both plastic and ceramic drinkware are available at this price point, opting for ceramic will make for a gift that looks and feels more expensive.

Choosing items that are timely and being talked about is another way to impress your audience without going over budget. Right now eco-friendly alternatives to single-use products are big sellers with plenty of options at this price point. These eco-friendly options add additional value without always adding a ton of cost. Giving great gifts with a budget of under $5 is doable when you come up with a good strategy and choose the right items. 

Under $10 

At this price point, there are many more options with upgraded materials like glass, cork, stainless steel, bamboo, and cotton. There are also a few options like the soy candle in a glass and bamboo jar (included in the link above) that resemble luxury gifts from department stores but have a lower price tag.  Adding a laser engraved logo elevates the look and still comes in under $10! 

In this category, there are also many items with a purpose that your recipient can use daily. Drinkware, dry bags, flashlights, and multi-tools are items your audience will use over and over with a reminder of your brand each time

Under $20  

Did you know that you can find items from great name-brands co-branded with your logo for under $20? Just a few options at this price point include swag from W&P Porter, Igloo, Jabba, and Modern sprout. As an added bonus, because some of these brands also have programs that give back, your clients will also know that you are a brand that cares. For example, for every Modern sprout tree kit you give, a tree is planted! An awesome gift that also gives back doubles the impact on the recipient. Relaxation and entertaining gifts are also great options that help to associate the positive feeling of relaxation and gathering with friends and family with your brand. 

Under $50  

Between $20-$50 options for sought-after brands abound! Drinkware that you would request by name, like MiiR and Manna, is in this pricing sweet spot. Food gift sets get an upgrade with gourmet and organic options and non-food gifts come in sets that feel more complete and “full.” Entertaining gifts also get a nice upgrade in both material and number of pieces. Plus, tech gifts shift from just accessories to great standalone gifts like smart plugs, light-up wireless speakers, and power banks with a built-in UV sanitizer.

Under $100  

Swag at this price point has a built-in wow factor. This budget level is a great option if you are looking for gift sets that include multiple brand name products or gift sets with many components. Instead of your average promotional products, tech gifts will be from brands like Jensen, Sony, or Skull candy. Plus there are some outstanding options for the clients who already seem to have everything. One-of-a-kind gifts, like Fracture Glass Prints, that allow your recipient to fully customize their own item are a unique option for those who you don't quite know how to shop for. With many options with 1 piece minimums, you can even get a different gift for each person on your list. 

Gifts Over $100  

If your budget is over $100, choose from our high-end brands like Moleskine, Bose, Waterford, Ray-ban, and North Face. The link above contains just a small sampling of the brands and styles that we offer. Reach out today for a gift idea presentation tailored to your specific needs. 

Plus, with our ProStores option, you can give your recipients the gift of choice! You choose the gift options and logos, and your recipient places the order on our ProStores portal for the item of their choosing in the right size and color for them. We take care of the rest, from order entry to shipping directly to your recipient with your special message included! Let us help make your holiday gift-giving fun and stress-free.
