Best Corporate Swag Ideas for 2025

Best Corporate Swag Ideas for 2025 That People Actually Want

If you’re searching for corporate swag ideas for 2025, here’s the truth: most of it still sucks.

The good news? It doesn’t have to. At BRND, we help teams and brands create merch that’s actually worn, used, and remembered—not tossed at the bottom of a drawer.

Here are some of our favorite high-impact swag picks for 2025—chosen for style, utility, and staying power.

🧥 1. Lightweight Branded Outerwear

North Face–style softshells, quilted vests, or windbreakers make your team look sharp and stay warm. Way better than the 40th hoodie. Bonus: tone-on-tone branding looks extra clean.

Best for: New hire onboarding, field teams, or internal events

☕ 2. Premium Tumblers That Get Used

Think Stanley, Yeti, or similar quality. Nobody wants a mug that leaks or can’t fit in their cupholder. Get it right and it’ll show up in meetings, commutes, and daily routines.

Best for: Company gifts, conferences, or executive team drops

✍️ 3. Custom-Branded Notebooks

Clean. Minimal. Functional. A branded Moleskine or softcover journal beats a neon plastic notepad any day. Pair it with a great pen and you’ve got a low-cost, high-touch win.

Best for: Event swag bags, leadership retreats, or planning sessions

🧴 4. Curated Wellness Swag

Think branded hand sanitizer, essential oil rollers, or luxe hand lotion in a travel pouch. It’s the kind of thing people actually keep in their bag—especially if the branding is subtle.

Best for: Healthcare teams, nonprofits, or internal well-being campaigns

📦 5. Thoughtful Packaging

Even simple swag hits harder when it’s well-packaged. Tissue wrap, a custom card, and a nicely branded box make your merch feel like a gift—not an obligation.

Best for: Holiday gifts, welcome kits, or remote team onboarding

🎁 Bonus: Seasonal Drop Kits

Instead of one big swag box, send smaller curated drops each quarter—one for spring, summer, fall, and winter. It builds brand equity and anticipation.

Best for: Culture-forward companies or long-term client relationships
