Top Picks for Trending Custom Gifts
We’ve partnered with businesses across Australia and New Zealand long enough to know one thing for sure—custom branded gifts can do more than just carry a logo. The right piece whispers your story, lingers in someone’s daily routine, and starts a conversation long after the event.
From the fast-paced Brisbane Eco Trade Show to casual client catch-ups in regional towns, businesses are leaning into branded merchandise with purpose. These are the pieces we keep packing, printing, and shipping because they work—not just in theory, but in real-world, results-driven ways.
Key Takeaways

- Charging cables and battery banks featuring your company logo can be useful for tech-savvy customers and help promote your brand.

Why Trending Custom Gifts Matter?
Trends aren’t just fads—they reflect what people care about now. When we help companies choose branded gifts that are fresh, thoughtful, and genuinely useful, it does more than tick a marketing box. It shows your customers you’re paying attention, that you’re in step with the times, and that you’re tuned in to their needs.
The right item doesn’t just get used—it gets remembered. It becomes a small but powerful signal of who you are as a brand, and how you want to be felt in the minds (and hands) of those who matter. We help Australian companies choose gifts that match their brand values and customer priorities. When you hand someone a branded item that’s fresh, useful, and thoughtfully made, you’re not just marketing—you’re building loyalty.
Reusable Bags & Totes
Who doesn’t like an environmentally conscious move? Reusable custom bags and eco-friendly shopping options reduce single-use plastic consumption. You can choose colourful designs or stick with stylish, earthy materials like jute or canvas—either way, they’re bound to stand out at events like the Melbourne Sustainable Living Festival or in everyday supermarket runs.
These bags work because they’re useful, and when done well, they say something about your values. Whether it’s organic cotton or non-woven styles, people remember who gave them a good-looking, reliable bag.
Charging Cables & Banks
In a world where everyone’s glued to their devices, tech accessories are instant lifesavers. Gadgets aren’t just luxuries—they’re lifelines. A reliable charging cable or portable power bank isn’t just convenient, it’s crucial.
We’ve seen companies make a real impression by gifting branded tech gear, like custom power banks or multi-device cables, designed to help in a pinch and carry their logo wherever life takes their customers. What sticks with people is the reliability. When a power bank saves their phone from dying on a work trip or a festival day, they remember who gave it to them. It’s a small investment that pays off with repeated visibility.
Coffee Cups & Mugs
Branded coffee cup mugs are timeless pieces that never go out of style. They showcase your logo while telling a story about your brand’s personality—whether through minimalist design, quirky prints, or natural finishes. We’ve seen ceramic mugs with leather detail or double-wall glass cups become everyday essentials in coworking spaces across Perth and beyond.
Drinkware & Bar Accessories
There’s something timeless about gathering over drinks—it’s where conversations flow and memories begin. Branded drinkware and bar accessories add charm and function to those moments, whether at a relaxed Friday gathering in the office or a formal event in Brisbane’s business district.
With quality finishes and thoughtful branding, these pieces do more than decorate—they turn casual conversation into brand engagement.
Final Thought
Whether you’re welcoming a new client, thanking a partner, or gearing up for your next event, your branded merchandise should reflect who you are and what you stand for. Each item you give reflects your brand’s values, so make it count.
