Top 10 Branded Gifts That Make a Lasting Impression on Clients

Choosing a branded gift for your clients can be challenging, but at Source

Promotional Merchandise, we are expert gifters and know exactly what people

want to receive.

Our top 10 high-impact branded gift recommendations this year are:

1. Backpacks. 

Backpacks will be used all year round, so choose one that is lightweight but

roomy with easy to use closures, padded straps and an ergonomic design. Look

for colours that closely match your brand logo and accentuate the connection

by subtly adding your company name.

2. Watches.

Your clients are busy people on a schedule and will check their watch on a

regular basis. When the watch they are wearing bears your company name or

logo, it strengthens their association with your brand and makes them more

likely to continue the relationship.

3. Umbrellas.

It's a wet, cold, gloomy time of year, so umbrellas make a wonderful gift.

Choose one with a telescopic handle and a carry loop to encourage recipients

to use it. By adding your company name or logo to the umbrella, your clients

will be dry, walking advertisements for your business.

4. Travel mugs.

Travel mugs are essential at this time of the year, so gift a high quality

travel mug with an excellent seal. A soft rubber wraparound with your logo

on not only looks great but can stabilise it in a car cupholder.

5. Mindfulness books.

When life gets stressful, it's important to take a break. Mindfulness

colouring books are a wonderful way to relax and reset, so choose one that

matches your client's particular interests and preferences for that personal

touch.

6. Desk tidy.

A tidy desk is invaluable in collaborative working environments where

desk-sharing is commonplace. Gifting a desk tidy with your company logo on

not only allows your clients to easily identify their possessions but keep

them together in an orderly manner.

7. Diary.

As a new year looms, you can make sure your clients are thinking about you

every day by gifting them a branded 2026 diary. To make sure they use it,

choose a hard-bound style with useful features such as to-do lists, notes

pages and weekly and monthly views.

8. Trolley token keyring.

Your clients love it when you anticipate their needs, and they will soon be

spending more time than usual at the shops, so gift them a trolley token

keyring to be sure that even on unplanned visits, they can still release and

use a trolley. 

9. Key ring torches.

A key ring torch is invaluable at this time of year, lighting the way in

dark car parks. Choose a lightweight option and fit it with a working

battery so that they can begin using it immediately.

10. Gift hampers.

If you are struggling for a gift for a hard-to-buy-for client but really

wish to show your appreciation, a gift hamper is always a safe bet. Choose

between a foodie hamper or a luxury health and wellbeing one to make your

recipient feel valued.

This is not an exhaustive list, and if you would like to discuss other
