Promotional Giveaways Ideas For Every Occasion

When people buy promotional merchandise they always assume they are only for business use, however you can use personalised giveaways for any occasion!

Whilst businesses do form our biggest customer base we also have requests for personalised gifts for parties, weddings and many other events. This is because as digital printing has improved more and more people want to give away unique and personal items. We have recognised this through our website by including a section for parties and events.

Do you remember going to parties as a child? The best thing about parties for us was the party bag we received at the end. Imagine the excitement you had as an eight year old looking through your party bag to see what you had been given. Yes the party was fun, but things are always that little bit more fun when you receive a gift at the end! The good news is, party bags are no longer restricted to children. You can now create your own party bags and personalise them creating the perfect party memorabilia.

The most popular events using personalised memorabilia we have seen are special birthdays like 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays. People like to provide personalised giveaways for these types of events just so people can remember the occasion as well as to thank them for attending. Depending on the occasion, different items would be appropriate.

For example, at a wedding you would be more likely to giveaway professional and more executive gifts, such as mini champagne bottles which are printed with the couples names. You could also get napkins printed with the couples names and dates on them to make the event a bit more special. Engraved champagne flutes would also mean that people will always remember your big day.

In comparison, products for milestone birthdays tend to be a bit more fun. This is when you could make up a party bag. The party bags can be personalised into boys and girls (just like when you were younger!). The girls could receive a personalised lip gloss, whereas the boys bag could include wooden golf tees. There are lots of different examples you could use.

A really nice idea is to take a photo of each person who attends the event and send it to them in a personalised photo frame, this will be a reminder of your event for years to come. Personalised giveaways are great not just for business but also for individual parties and events.
