Promotional Teddy Bears Make A Great Long-Lasting Giveaway

Teddy bears wearing your branding - be it on a T-shirt, ribbon or bow - are a classic gift for leavers and will make parting that bit more, ahem, bear-able. (See what we did there?)

We have a huge range of promotional teddies, with options in every size and colour you could imagine, as well as at price points to suit even the smallest of budgets. And you're not limited 'just' to teddy bears - we also have a wide range of other animals available to order as cuddly toys.

For an extra special finishing touch, you could even take things one step further by considering our individually named teddy bears. These are printed not only with your establishment's logo but also with the individual name of your recipient, creating an extra-personal product that your pupils will adore.

The beauty of choosing teddy bears for this kind of campaign? For one thing, everyone loves an adorable soft toy, so whether you're planning to give them to pre-teens or college students, you can be confident that they'll be adored. For another, they're long-lasting: a promo teddy is for life, not just for the last day of term!

Pick Branded Awards For An Oscars-Worthy Finish

For a fun take on waving farewell to a year group, why not consider holding a lighthearted class awards ceremony? Encourage students to share (kind!) nominations or team up with other members of staff to ensure everyone will receive a glittering gong they can be proud of. And the winner is...

A great option for older students in particular, printed awards offer a fun way to ensure that everyone gets a sparkling reminder of their time at your establishment. Some of our trophies can even be ordered from quantities as low as just five units, meaning there are options to suit everything from the smallest class all the way through to the largest year group.

Take things one step further by also hosting an award for teaching staff - the perfect way to celebrate the achievements of your team at the end of yet another academic year.
