Top 10 Christmas Gifts For Event Giveaways

As we all know: Christmas is a time for giving. So much so, in fact, that the average UK household typically spends an average of £473.83 on Christmas presents! (That's according to this study, at least.)

A recent study published by the BPMA shows that 83% of people who receive promotional merchandise will remember the brand for an average of 12 months, with 79% admitting they were likely to do business with the company in the future. So, what better time to give out personalised giveaways than at Christmas?

We have a wide range of seasonal corporate gifts suitable for the festive period and here, we've gathered our top 10 promotional Christmas gifts you can present to your customers at upcoming events...

1. Branded Phone Accessories

Fun fact: 6.8 million new iOS and Android devices will be set up on Christmas Day! So, why not gift your customers with a smart branded accessory to go with their sleek new device? These Smart Pop Phone Holders are the ideal gift for anyone who can't get away from their mobile phone. Available in a choice of black or white, these phone holders include elastic between the sticky disc and the faceplate for comfort for any size hands.

These handy little grips can also be used as a phone stand by slotting the faceplate into the groves on the disc. Personalised with your logo printed in up to full colour, they're available from just 90p per unit.

2. Personalised Luggage Tags

According to a recent study, the Travel Association estimates over 4.7 million Brits will travel abroad for Christmas. We may wish for a white Christmas every year but the UK only has a 1 in 10 chance of having a white Christmas instead, it's usually miserably wet - no wonder so many people decide to go elsewhere for Christmas.

Our Large Belluno Luggage Tags are a travel essential that allows your brand to be seen across the world! Available in a range of colours, our favourite for the Christmas season has got to be vibrant red. For a completely bespoke finish, why not opt for contrasting stitching? 

These branded luggage tags are a fantastic business giveaway, especially during the festive period, and can be personalised with your company design in either full colour or embossed for lasting brand awareness.

5. Personalised Earphones 

Trivia alert: did you know that the video for the 1984 Christmas hit Last Christmas was the last time George Michael was filmed without a beard?
