Holiday Branded Merchandise Ideas

Table of Contents

    When planning year-end campaigns, the goal isn’t just to give a gift — it’s to give something that makes people smile, keeps working for your brand long after the holidays, and gets real use throughout the year.

    The right branded merchandise becomes a conversation starter, a daily essential, and a joyful reminder of your business.

    At UCT (Asia), we help businesses like yours deliver holiday gifts that get used, stay visible, and build loyalty.

    Standout Holiday Merchandise Ideas

    1. Custom Blankets

    Everyone loves comfort during the holiday season. Custom blankets are cozy, practical, and offer a large printable area for your design. Perfect for winter evenings and year-round use.

    Why it works: High perceived value + frequent use = ongoing brand exposure.

    2. Beach Towels

    Ideal for markets with warm climates or customers who travel for the holidays. Custom beach towels are fun, functional, and easy to gift.

    Tip: Pair with sunglasses, sunscreen, or a tote for an elevated gift set.

    3. Branded Drinkware

    Mugs, insulated tumblers, and glassware with festive artwork and your logo are holiday staples. They appeal to all ages and lifestyles.

    Use cases: Office breaks, travel, outdoor activities — a constant reminder of your brand.

    4. Holiday-Themed Custom T-Shirts

    T-shirts are always in fashion. Add a seasonal design — think snowflakes, festive typography, or a limited-edition logo — and suddenly it’s not just merch, it’s a keepsake.

    Bonus: Run social media promos encouraging people to post photos wearing them.

    5. Customized Tote and Travel Bags

    Bags are practical and visible. Whether it’s a reusable tote for holiday shopping or a travel bag for year-end trips, your logo goes wherever your customers go.

    Best options:
    ✔ Canvas totes
    ✔ Drawstring bags
    ✔ Weekend/travel duffels

    6. Journals & Planners

    The holiday season and New Year go hand-in-hand with reflection and goal-setting. A well-designed journal or planner helps people capture memories, plans, and ambitions — while carrying your branding throughout the year.

    Add personalization: Include the customer’s name or year for a premium touch.

    7. Personalized Holiday Video Cards

    A modern twist on traditional greeting cards — these sleek video cards auto-play a festive message, brand animation, or holiday greeting when opened.

    Impact: High-end, memorable, and perfect for VIP clients.

    8. Holiday Travel Packs

    Create branded pouches filled with travel-size essentials: lip balm, hand cream, hand sanitizer, socks, eye mask, or even mini tech accessories.

    Why it works: It’s useful, thoughtful, and perfect for holiday trips.

    9. Snow Globes

    A timeless collectible that evokes nostalgia and holiday spirit. Custom snow globes — especially limited-edition designs — become keepsakes that people display year after year.

    10. Branded Beanies

    Warm, stylish, and wearable — beanies are classic winter merch that get worn again and again at events, outings, and gatherings.

    Pro tip: Offer multiple colors or custom tags for personalization.
