Client gift idea · Same for everyone

One well-made branded item

A single good object (a bag, a bottle, a notebook) with a small, tasteful logo, rather than a bundle of cheap swag.

Who it suits

Clients and partners who already use your product and like being associated with it, and events.

Why it works

A useful object gets used, and a quiet logo gets seen.

Risks and drawbacks

  • It is about you, not them. On its own it rarely feels like a thank-you.
  • Cheap items reflect on the brand.

Skip it if: You are trying to thank someone or open a conversation.

How to do it well

  1. Choose one item you would buy yourself.
  2. Keep the logo small.
  3. Pair it with a handwritten note.
