TM Edit: Best UK-Made Merch Ideas For Winter 2024

Winter is fast-approaching - and from cold weather essentials to festive gifting ideas, we've decided to round-up some of our favourite seasonal UK-made merch ideas for your business. 

So how can you tell if a product on our website is UK-made? A Union Flag symbol will typically be clearly displayed over the product image (as shown above) and we'll also include information within the product description as well. Alternatively, you can apply the "Made In UK" filter when browsing products on a category page to allow you to navigate straight to the UK-made items.

Having long-championed this important sector, we have a wide range of UK-made items available to order with your logo today - and our passion for this was further fuelled a couple of months ago when we hosted an educational visit from some of the BRIMAN Group. 

BRIMAN comprises 14 businesses across the promotional merchandise industry who have British manufacturing at their core, with specialisms ranging from drinkware, wooden items and seeds to stationery, umbrellas and confectionery.

Several members of BRIMAN came to visit us at our HQ in Essex, sharing insights and anecdotes about their businesses and the UK-made merch. And what did we learn? Lots!

Of course, choosing merchandise that’s made in Britain isn’t always possible. However, if you’re interested, benefits can include...

• Supporting local businesses: this can help contribute to the growth and development of local businesses and, in turn, their communities. 
• Positive environmental impact: choosing locally manufactured products can reduce the carbon footprint associated with delivery as goods won't need to be shipped from far away. This aligns with environmentally conscious practices, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and potentially reducing overall environmental impact.
• Association with quality craftsmanship: UK-made often comes with a reputation for high-quality, after all! 

With all that in mind, we thought we'd shine a light on the best seasonal UK-made items for your business to consider, from ice scrapers to Christmas gifting ideas. Read on to discover our round-up of season-appropriate ideas and explore our UK-made promotional products category to see the full range.
