Anyone use any vendors that have been amazing with unique client gifts or have ideas for a great gift this year? My team handles holiday gifting also and coming up with the gift each year is always a challenge!
Oooh I love figuring out gifts/swag... What kind of vibe are you going for? What has been a hit or miss in the past? Am happy to help brainstorm!

I'm on vacation with a friend whose company gave them the Facebook ray an glasses. People had fun with them. I'm sure it'll be overdone soon
Just learned about this company at CEMA: https://batchusa.com/
They do custom gift boxes with a focus on locally sourced goods!
Amazing. Thanks All!!
For a more "generic" vendor, these folks are popular https://thevendry.com/pro/433/canary-marketing-san-francisco-ca
One year we did custom sneakers. Note don't do this for big teams. We learnt the hard way. Lol
Seconding @EventPlanner963’s rec for Canary Marketing. We just used them on a custom tote and were super happy with the printing/quality for the pricepoint.
I love using Swagup.com for client and staff gifting. Everything they have is so high quality - I don’t have to worry about getting stuck with junk.
My friend's company gave unhide blankets to everyone and it was a huge hit. https://unhide.us/
Those blankets are amazing
Right? I was gifted one from my friend (who's company gave them out) and am a total Unhide loyalist now!
I agree - I'm using Canary and have used them for years!
I’ve used Canary and another favorite is Kim Karp at KK Promos. I’ve used her for 15+ years
I use http://whitestonebranding.com/ - they are amazing to work with, have pretty much everything you could ever want, and have a pretty quick turnaround
If you want to give something creative, we have a Suminagashi+Sake kit where the sake is used in the art work and 4 blank ceramic coasters can be branded on the bottom (recipients just need to add water to create marble patterns and dip the coasters to capture/print that design!). Check out 28muses.com
Hi! Has anyone used Nadel for swag? Deciding between them and Canary for our flagship giveaways
Hi All.. does anyone have a swag recommendation for the following (i've searched the thread but no luck):
• 3 x options (a backpack, duffle weekender and a tote that works for a laptop)
• Leather if possible but most likely too expensive, so faux leather if not
• Sustainable if possible, but if not at this stage then we are aware on timelines
• Backpack reference image below
• 400 x units (can be a mix of all 3 items)
• Cost per item - $100-$130 including branding
• Delivery to New York by 28th September

Hello!! I am looking for a US swag vendor that is FANTASTIC at logistics/shipping. We sadly have had quite a few hiccups with our current vendor on the shipping and fulfillment side so wanted to see if anyone has a vendor they recommend. Asks are that they can hold all inventory and that they have the functionality of a 'store' for us to place orders from. Thanks!
Hi all! Looking for sustainable swag ideas that are not water bottles. 🌱

Hi everyone, Im currently looking for a new swag provider that handles all inventory storage and shipping. My team typically support 250~ events a year so need a vendor that can handle of lot of shipping logistics. I’ve looked at Creative Promo and Canary, Any others that people have worked with and would recommend?
What quality swag have you guys seen so far this year? Looking for inspiration for an event in May. We'll have a few items at our booth and then a VIP experience in our suite.
Hey everyone! Hope you're all having a great start to the week! I am looking for a premium swag company in California. The event I'm working on is an exclusive dining experience with a renowned chef so we need luxury branded items to be gifts for the guests as well as dressing, think embossed leather aprons, dish towels, blankets, napkins etc.
I'm based in London so have little experience with companies based out of California to have complete confidence in the quality I would be getting so any first hand recommendations would be really appreciated! Also, open to companies based elsewhere in North America as shipping is an option and would be cheaper than shipping from the UK. Thanks!
Hi All, Does anyone have a vendor they have worked with on high-end custom swag items for guests/donors?
Hi Guys, I am working on a new event that is 100% sustainable. Who are your sustainable vendors you like?

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a network (Internet) consulting firm that can work within a sound stage to provide network assessment/review, WiFi networking, design/implementation/maintenance/monitoring, etc. for a live broadcast event. Preference for LA-based.
Hi all, really excited to be a part of this community!
Looking for a DMC/event production company recommendation to help me with the following (*highly ambitious) project: Company kick off event (2-3 day offsite, local + intl travel from Chile) for 1200 people in Jan 2024. Our CFO wants to see 3 budget scenarios for an event in Vegas, SF and 1 other location (Florida or Arizona) by EOW. Recognizing it's not realistic to pull detailed quotes & availability by then, but would love to provide a ballpark p/person estimate at least. Thank you!
Has anyone used a live scribe in New York? I'm looking for something like Scriberia but based in New York / the states more broadly.
I’m working on putting together a template for the team to show to leadership with where we want to show up, investment level, type of event, past KPIs, and any other relevant information.. does anyone have recs on how to do this outside of excel? There’s nothing wrong with tried and true haha just want to see if I’m missing an opportunity to use something better if it’s out there :)

<!here>, we're kicking off this channel to be a dedicated space to support one another as event tech continues to rapidly evolve. This post on LinkedIn inspired me to ask - are you willing to share your event tech stack with the group here? It might help inspire other members to look into new solutions, or ask for your more specific advice or opinion on tech you currently use. As a reminder, we also have the #ai-for-events channel for those interested.
We are planning some private dining events in NYC and I'm curious if there are any hidden gems of event spaces or private dining rooms (Manhattan) that folks would recommend. Dinners will be about 25 people. We did the last one at Little Owl Townhouse and loved it!!
