Marketing more sustainably

With this mission, it goes without saying that we’re sharing our top trends for 2025 against the backdrop of items that have a lower carbon footprint, whilst maximising brand impact with your contacts, through items that are thoughtful giveaways.

5 key themes for 2025

Based on insights from trade shows, meetings with manufacturing partners, and consumer trends, we’ve identified five standout themes for corporate gifts in 2025. The goal? To enhance engagement and make your branded gifts more meaningful and sustainable.

1. Products that regenerate

Regeneration is all about longevity – products that can be refilled, recharged, or reused to extend their life cycle. This applies to tech gifts like wireless speakers and power banks, but also to more budget-friendly items:

• Refillable notebook – Brand the recycled cover of this notebook, which holds books of lined paper. When all sheets have been used, switch the cover over to a fresh inner book, without replacing the higher value cover.
• Senator? pens – A trusted name in writing instruments for over 100 years. Their pens, manufactured in Europe, typically write for up to 5,000 metres, and when they runs out, refills can be ordered online for free (just pay postage).
• Keyring torches – Compact at just over 7cm, these torches are made from materials that include recycled aluminium and bamboo. They offer up to two hours of powerful illumination and feature replaceable battery cells, extending their usability.

?2. Products that connect

For years, brands have printed website addresses on promotional products. More recently, QR codes have made engagement quicker. Now, Near Field Communication (NFC) chips are taking connectivity to the next level.

NFC technology allows users to interact with embedded chips simply by bringing their device close to the product. The embedded URL remains active throughout the product’s lifespan, providing a long-term marketing tool.

• Topl cups – These premium, recycled steel tumblers from the exclusive brand Topl are insulated and feature a patented 360° sip design. The base of the cups include an NFC chip.
• Bamboo and cork coasters – A more affordable option, these coasters can also be embedded with NFC chips, offering a seamless digital connection, perfect for your contact to engage with whilst they are enjoying a cuppa!

?3. Products that go big on brand

We’re not talking about oversized logos! As our design agency oodle will tell you, effective branding is about subtlety, aesthetics, and alignment with your brand identity. Larger surface areas allow for immersive, eye-catching designs:

• Sustainable paper notebooks – Full-colour printed covers and even page edges create a striking, high-quality look.
• Dye sublimation mugs – These mugs feature full-colour wrap-around designs, plus coloured handles and inners for added visual appeal. They are also dishwasher safe.

?4. Products aligned to lifestyle trends

Understanding your audience’s lifestyle makes corporate gifting more impactful. Offering choice ensures a stronger connection with recipients. For example, instead of a single drinkware option, consider including a new variation on a reusable cup:

• 355ml tumbler with ceramic inner – Ideal for tea drinkers or those who prefer a non-metallic option, this tumbler provides the experience of using a traditional mug whilst on the move.

?5. Products that promote wellbeing

With promotional products increasingly used for employee care and welcome packs, wellness-focused gifts are growing in popularity. New ideas to consider include aromatherapy balms, scented candles or mini travel kits; all ready to reflect your branding.
