If you need to do holiday shopping for employees, students, or any other large group, custom apparel is an excellent way to tailor your gift-giving and create truly special and memorable presents. Custom gifts have a personal touch that is undeniable, allowing you to build on the existing relationships you have with the recipients, while giving them a useful present that will last for a long time. Here are a few custom merchandise gift ideas to consider this holiday season.

3 Customized Gift Ideas to Consider for the Holidays 

1. Embroidered Apparel

Embroidery can be added to a number of different items to personalize them in a way that makes them both unique and meaningful to the recipients. Apparel like hats, polo shirts, and jackets; bags such as backpacks and fanny packs; and blankets and pillows are just a sampling of the custom merchandise you can have embroidered. Adorn them with your company logo, so your employees and clients can promote your business, even when they’re at home or on vacation.

2. Sports Bottles

Sports bottles aren't just popular with athletes. Everyone realizes the importance of staying well-hydrated, and sports bottles offer a convenient way to keep water and other beverages within reach. Select bottles with handles or straps for easy transport or vacuum-insulated varieties to keep liquids colder for much longer. Personalize them with your team or group's identifying information, such as name, colors, affiliations, logo, or motto.

3. Coolers

Customized coolers are ideal gifts for sports teams and outdoor enthusiasts. While you can still choose from a variety of traditional party coolers, advancements in cooling technology have allowed for a number of other products to feature these same properties. You can purchase soft-sided, bag-like coolers; individual travel tumblers that keep beverages chilled; and even Bluetooth^®-enabled options. Have them decorated with the colors of your sports team or the name of your group.
