The Best Sustainable Giveaway & Merchandise Ideas for Your Business
Running a giveaway is a great way to ensure your company stands out at trade shows and conferences, helping to generate those all-important leads. However, with sustainability becoming increasingly important for consumers and businesses alike, it's essential to consider the environmental impact of your giveaways and merchandise.
Not only will sustainable giveaways show that your company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint, but it also aligns with the values of customers who are actively seeking out eco-friendly products.
In this guide, we'll explore some of the best sustainable giveaway and merchandise ideas for your business.
Use Sustainable Big Ticket Promotional Items for Giveaways
.
Starting big, one of the best ways to get your business to stand out at your next trade show is to use big-ticket items as giveaway prizes. This is not only a great way to reward your customers and attract new ones, but it also allows you to make a statement about your business's dedication to sustainability by using eco-friendly products.
Eco-Friendly Branded Audio Swag
Eco-friendly branded audio products make enticing trade show giveaway prizes because they blend functionality with sustainability.
These items appeal to tech-savvy attendees who appreciate cutting-edge gadgets while also demonstrating your company’s commitment to protecting the environment.
Offering eco-conscious audio swag, such as Bluetooth speakersmade from FSC-certified materials, not only boosts your brand’s image but also ensures that your giveaways are both memorable and meaningful.
Our range of Maple wood Bluetooth speakers makes the perfect giveaway prize and can be customised with your brand's logo or website. Choose from laser engraving or screen printing for colourful branding.
We also offer individual naming, which is great for individual giveaway winners!
Sustainable Office Tech
Offering a giveaway prize that kits out office desks with sustainable desk organisers with wireless charging capabilities is the perfect way to ensure that your business stays in the minds of potential leads.
This dual-purpose tech provides your giveaway winners with a clutter-free workspace while ensuring their tech is always charged for those important calls and meetings.
Our Eco Desk Wireless Chargers are organisers that are made from natural wood materials, making them not only functional but also extremely environmentally friendly.
Plus, with the option to customise them with your brand's logo or message, they pave the way for great lead gen at trade shows.
Create Giveaway Bundles With Eco-Friendly Merchandise
Of course, you don't have to go for a single, big-ticket giveaway prize for your trade show. To make sure your logo gets seen in multiple scenarios, a bundle of eco-friendly merchandise can make a sought-after giveaway prize.
We've come up with some ideas for interesting giveaway bundles that can be personalised with your branding or logo for the perfect prize.
A Tote Bag of Goodies
A branded tote bag filled with a selection of eco-friendly goodies makes an excellent giveaway prize that is both thoughtful and practical.
Tote bags, often made from sustainable materials like organic cotton or recycled fabrics, offer a reusable alternative to single-use plastic bags long after the trade show has finished.
Depending on your trade show's target audience, you can also include some more fun items, like fidget toys, in the swag bag.
Not only do they showcase your company’s commitment to sustainability, but they also ensure your brand remains visible in everyday use, leaving a lasting impression on recipients.
Gadget Bundles
A bundle of sustainable gadgets can make an impressive giveaway prize by combining innovation with eco-consciousness.
Items such as solar-powered chargers, like our Solar Card, phone cases, and FSC-certified USB sticks not only appeal to tech enthusiasts but also reflect your brand's commitment to the environment.
These gadgets are practical in everyday life, ensuring that your brand remains visible and appreciated long after the event has passed.
By bundling these items together, you create a cohesive and useful prize that showcases your company's dedication to sustainability and cutting-edge technology.
Apparel Bundles
Okay, so we understand that apparel bundles can seem like the antithesis of sustainable giveaways. However, if they're made from eco-friendly materials with sustainable manufacturing practices, they still belong in this category.
The point of apparel bundles is to ensure your giveaway winner leaves the event covered almost head-to-toe in your branding (what better free promotion is there than that?).
For a complete apparel bundle, we'd recommend a branded t-shirt or polo shirt (available in a range of colours and sizes), a cap with your logo front and centre (available in a selection of styles), and a drawstring bag to finish off the look!
You can also add a branded hoodie to the bundle if it's the right time of year!
Unique Eco-Friendly Promotional Products
If you're looking for fun and unique eco-friendly promotional products to bring to your trade stand, we've got the perfect selection to help your company stand out in a sea of them.
Sustainable Branded Tech
Sustainable tech items like wireless chargers, power banks, and speakers made from wood or bamboo make unique promotional products that leave a lasting impression.

Choosing wireless chargers made from natural materials or power banks encased in bamboo shows your brand's commitment to environmental responsibility.
These tech items combine functionality with eco-consciousness, offering a memorable and meaningful promotional giveaway that highlights your dedication to sustainability.
Bamboo Travel Cups
Travel cups have long been a staple in the world of branded promotional products due to their practicality and the constant exposure they give to your brand. However, bamboo travel cups elevate this classic giveaway to a new level of sustainability.
Bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, is not only durable but also has a lower environmental impact compared to traditional plastic or metal options.

Pre-Loaded Wooden Flash Drives
Pre-loaded wooden flash drives are an excellent eco-friendly branded promotional product, combining sustainability with functionality.
Made from sustainable wood, these drives offer a unique and stylish alternative to traditional plastic USB sticks, emphasising your brand's commitment to environmental responsibility.
By pre-loading these flash drives with your company's marketing materials, product catalogues, or presentation files, you ensure your brand's messaging is delivered efficiently. Recipients get the practical benefit of a reusable storage device while being reminded of your eco-conscious brand values each time they use it.
This mix of utility and sustainability makes pre-loaded wooden flash drives a standout choice for your next promotional giveaway.
Bamboo Coasters
Bamboo coasters with your logo on them are a unique and sustainable alternative to cardboard coasters as promotional products.
Unlike traditional cardboard coasters, which often have a short lifespan and can end up being discarded quickly, bamboo coasters are durable and reusable.
Made from one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, bamboo coasters are not only eco-friendly but also aesthetically pleasing. They lend a touch of natural elegance to any setting and serve a practical purpose while showcasing your brand’s commitment to sustainability.
By opting for bamboo custom coasters, you are ensuring that your promotional items remain in use for a longer period, thereby increasing brand visibility and reinforcing your company’s dedication to our shared environmental responsibility.
Classic Canvas Tote Bags
Branded canvas tote bags have long been a staple in promotional products. They may not be the newest trend, but their timeless appeal and practicality make them a classic choice.
Made from durable and sustainable materials like organic cotton or recycled fabric, these totes offer a reusable alternative to single-use plastic bags. This reduces environmental harm and meets the rising consumer demand for eco-friendly products.
By customising these bags with your brand's logo or message, you ensure that recipients promote your company while using an environmentally friendly item.
