Promotional Products for Winter Giveaways
The onset of winter provides promotional marketers with a staggering range of gift ideas, and the winter holidays offer an excuse to reward and recognize employees, clients, partners, and customers. Branded gifts for cold weather range from the practicality of well-made outerwear to the thoughtfulness of a customized hot cocoa set. We’ve assembled some of the best swag items for winter here to help kick-start your cold-weather marketing campaigns.
Winter Outerwear
Walking in a winter wonderland isn't much fun unless you bundle up against the cold. Coats and jackets are consistently popular gifts for cold weather and ideal for when you want to make a statement. Use winter outerwear to recognize the contribution of a hard-working employee or as a stylish, high-value thank-you gift for the valuable client you just landed. Check out these exceptional winter gifts:
- The Ranger Sherpa Lined Jacket by CROWN combines durability, comfort, and warmth with its 12 oz. washed “Rugged Duck” outer shell lines with warm Sherpa fleece. One of the best winter gifts for cold-weather lovers who enjoy the outdoors.
- The Quilted-Flannel-Lined Duck Active Jac by Carhartt is a water- and wind-resistant quilted flannel-lined jacket that keeps the wearer warm no matter the weather.
- The Ladies' Black Diamond Soft Shell Jacket by CROWN is our #1 selling jacket winter after winter, thanks to its comfortable, lightweight microfleece lining, windproof and water-resistant shell, and stylish good looks.
- The Women’s Rugged Flex® Crawford Jacket by Carhartt is a classic bomber jacket made from durable 8 oz. 98/2 cotton/spandex canvas with a mesh lining for breathability.
Loungewear
Some people dive headlong into outdoor winter activities. Others prefer to keep the winter chill at bay and cocoon in warmth and comfort. If your gift recipients prefer a blazing fire and Netflix to a day on the ski slopes, loungewear helps them hibernate in style.
- The Sport-Wick Fleece Hooded Pullover by SPORT-TEK is made from anti-static fleece — a much-appreciated option in dry winter environments where your fingers generate sparks after walking across the carpet.
- The Men's Reverse Weave Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt by Champion helps you stay green and warm: this sustainable hoodie contains polyester recycled from plastic water bottles.
- The Women's Stretch Drop Shoulder Pullover by Mercer+Mettle combines a relaxed fit with a straight drop hem and a self-fabric crew neck for when you want to relax in comfort.
- The Ladies Zoe Tonal Heather Hoodie by Augusta Sportswear is a classic hooded sweatshirt with Raglan sleeves and a scuba-shaped three-piece hood. Moisture-wicking properties make this hoodie ideal for warmer weather as well as an excellent winter gift.
Promotional Ice Scrapers
Outerwear and loungewear may rank among the best winter gifts, but their price makes them inappropriate for many large-scale marketing campaigns. If you’re looking for practical, affordable winter gifts people will use until spring, consider promotional ice scrapers. In many parts of the country, an ice scraper is an essential winter driving accessory, so why not offer these helpful gifts to your customer base?
- The Great Lakes 10" Ice Scraper sets the standard for ice scrapers. Made from sturdy plastic, the scraper’s length makes it easy to clear snow and ice off your windshield, while a special grip handle prevents slipping.
- The Visor Ice Scraper securely clips onto a car visor when not in use, so you can quickly access it as the need arises.
- The Light Scraper is one of the best gifts for cold weather in latitudes where the winter sun rises late and sets early. LED lights on the handle help you scrape ice quickly and efficiently in the dark.
Winter Hats
Winter beanies are some of the best swag items for winter gift bags. They’re practical, and frankly, they’re fun. Add some warmth and whimsy to your branded winter gifts with these comfy winter hats:
- The Thermal Knit Cuffed Beanie by Port Authority
- The Recycled Cuff Beanie by New Era
- The Stripe Pom Cuffed Beanie by Richardson
- The Pom Beanie by Augusta Sportswear
Winter Scarves
A warm scarf is a welcome gift when the cold winter winds start to blow, and offer plenty of real estate for your embroidered logo. Possibilities include:
- The Spectator Scarf by SPORT-TEK, which coordinates with the Spectator Beanie and Spectator Gloves for added value.
- The Marled Scarf SPORT-TEK, which coordinates with the SPORT-TEK Pom Pom Team Beanie.
- The Jacquard Knitted Scarf, a custom knitted scarf made from up to six yarn colors.
Printed Mugs
Cold weather makes a daily commute intolerable without a steaming hot beverage at the end of the journey — or better yet, by your side as you travel. Help keep your target audience warm and happy with these custom-printed mugs:
- The 12 oz. Camp Mug 12 oz by Camelbak, with a spill-resistant tri-mode lid.
- The 15 Oz. Speckle-It Ceramic Camping Mug, for when you want to sip your hot chocolate old school.
- The 32 Oz Tumbler by Bison Coolers, because on a long commute, size and insulation matter.
