What we’ve received that we genuinely love
Working in promotional products means we see a lot of stuff. Like, a lot. Samples arrive daily, new catalogues land on our desks, and we’re constantly testing products to ensure they meet our quality standards for our customers.
These are the products that not only didn’t end up in the reject bin but were pitched by our team members as they genuinely won over Team Pella. These are the ones that have made it into daily rotation, the ones we actually choose to use. And that tells you everything, really.
Lauren’s Mood Set
Lauren’s desk has never looked more coordinated. When the Mood Set arrived, Lauren immediately loved it! The coordinated bottle, notepad, and pen all matching makes Lauren feel very put together, and she actually enjoys using it. It’s the kind of gift set that looks thoughtful without trying too hard.
Nik’s Moon Bag
The ultimate test of whether a bag is actually good? Whether it goes everywhere with you. Nik’s Crescent XL AWARE™ rPET Half Moon Sling Bag has passed that test with flying colours. It’s not just sitting by the door looking pretty – it’s genuinely practical, which is what you want from something you’re giving away with your brand on it.
Karla’s Fidget Pen
Ever since this Reborn Fidget Spinner Pen arrived, meetings have involved a lot more spinning. We’re calling it “productive fidgeting” and nobody’s allowed to complain. It writes, it spins, it’s made from recycled aluminium, and it’s genuinely satisfying to use. Sometimes the best products are the ones that do something unexpected.
Julia’s Powerbanks
Julia is never caught without charge, and there’s a reason for that. She grabbed the opportunity to test out the Powerwave Recycled Aluminium Wireless Power Bank, and now it goes everywhere with her. At one of our last trade shows when everyone was panicking about dying phones, Julia was confident and fully charged. This is the kind of promotional product people actually thank you for giving them.
Dagmara’s Ocean Bound Octopus Cable
The multi-connector charging cable made from ocean-bound plastic solves that universal problem: everyone’s got a different charging port. Useful and doing something good for the planet? Dagmara’s sold, and honestly, so are we.
Sam’s Wye Backpack
When you’re running between meetings, managing a business, and trying to keep your life together, a good backpack matters. Sam’s Wye Recycled Compact Laptop Backpack fits everything in and keeps it all organised. With a busy lifestyle, it’s not a nice-to-have, it’s essential.
Ella’s Find Me Tag
No more lost keys. No more “has anyone seen my…?” moments. Ella’s living her most organised life thanks to the FindMate Dual Item Finder. It’s one of those products that seems simple until you realise how much mental energy you were spending on finding things.
Laura’s Dopper Bottle
The Dopper Original Bottle on Laura’s desk? Constantly filled, constantly used. That’s the ultimate sign of a product that’s really good! When something becomes part of your daily routine, that’s when you know it’s a winner.
What This Means for Your Brand
We’ve learnt lots of things from watching our team grab these products and take them from the sample pile to products that have become part of our daily lives: the promotional products that stick around are the ones people genuinely choose to use, not just because they’re there.
BPMA insights found in a recent survey that 40% of recipients think practical, everyday use products leave the most positive impression of the brand that sent them.
They solve a real problem. They fit into daily routines. They’re well-made enough that people want to keep using them. And increasingly, they’re doing something good for the environment too.
That’s what makes a promotional product worth giving away with your brand on it – not just that it carries your logo, but that it’s something people will actually value and use.
