In addition to planning the perfect event, you’ll want to give your guests something to commemorate the day, or your customers something to remind them of you. That’s right - we’re talking giveaways and party favors. There are endless options of what you can give your guests, but we’ve found the favorites that everyone will be excited about getting to take home - and not leave you with lots of extras.
Sweets
Want to give away something your guests won’t throw away? Give them something they can eat instead. Whether you are hosting a baby shower, bridal shower, or corporate event - branded desserts and treats are always a big hit. You can also try to customize the sweets to your events theme, or your company’s brand colors.
Sustainable Gifts
Another popular item that is sure to be a hit is anything you can give your guests that promotes sustainability. Whether it is small plants (like succulents), reusable bags with your company's logo on them (these are always a hit at tradeshows), or items made from recycled materials. By aligning your event or company with sustainable efforts you’ll be sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests as well as the planet.
Tech Accessories
Our lives are ruled by technology, whether we would like to admit it or not. Consider giving your guests tech accessories - like a portable charger, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, or a tech travel kit. There are numerous options if this is the route you want to go - and an upgrade from the usual USB sticks you see at tradeshows.
Drinkware
Another option that is a very popular giveaway at events is any kind of drinkware. Reusable water bottles, or a customized wine and beer glasses. Gone are the days when you leave an event with just a beer koozie. You can find just about anyone on Etsy to customize your drinkware with guests’ names, your company logo - or just about anything you want!
Higher End Branded Items
Depending on what your budget is, or how high level your guests are (like if they are executive-level or an important client) you might want to opt for some nicer items. Think of items like branded umbrellas, hats, branded wine openers, ect. Those gifts will appeal to a higher clientele and make you stand out from others who give away “traditional” swag and leave a lasting impression.
