2020 Top Remote Workforce Swag Ideas Part 3

🚀  TOP SWAG PICK

1. Reusable Kitchenware

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

We know — kitchenware?! But while you may have never thought of giving kitchen goods as swag, for people in a new living situation (and honestly also for the ultra-busy), a set of utensils, food containers, and snack bowls could be just the thing to make their workday go better.

Some of our favorites include a quality branded utensil set, reusable food container, and the W&P Peak Popcorn Popper (even better when paired with a “virtual gift card” as seen in Part 2). These picks all make for fun and creative gift ideas!

2. Bestseller Books

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

At SwagUp, we love sharing reading lists. And books are some of the best swag gifts you can give, especially if expanding knowledge and sharing cool ideas is a big part of your company culture.

You can add notable books on leadership, sales methodology, or even something fun that’s worth a good read! 

Pro tip: We can even help you personalize the inside of the cover for that extra touch 😉

3. Desk Plants

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

It’s amazing how a little green can completely transform a workspace. 

More than one study has shown that plants alleviate stress and improve air quality - and it doesn’t hurt that plants make for nice decor. 

Don’t worry if you think you have a brown thumb. Whether you are looking for a small plant to care for every day or prefer a no-hassle plant, there are a lot of options available to you! 

A small succulent is a beautiful and thoughtful addition to any employee appreciation pack, especially if remote workers don’t step outside enough for fresh air! Plus, the pots are fully customizable.

In short, desk plants are probably one of the nicest ‘swag’ gifts to exist.

4. Personalized Coasters

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

Mugs tend to get the limelight when it comes to classy swag, but unless you’re getting one specifically made with a cork-base, you’ll probably need a coaster for that mug.

And that’s why we love coasters as swag items. They’re the perfect complement to a swag item that everyone has gotten, and you can do a lot with a coaster! 

For example, think about texture. A set of slate coasters instantly stands out and is not only cool and elegant, but also a high quality gift. 

Got a fun-loving team? Consider instead a set of wooden game coasters! Great for a casual hangout with the family for some lighthearted entertainment.

5. Coloring Books

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

Coloring is a wonderful stress reliever and can be enjoyed by people of all ages! 

This makes for a great gift to send teams with families at home. People that work from home tend to take fewer breaks so a coloring book is a great way to encourage them to do so. Especially if they can do it with the people they love.

Plus, nostalgic gifts are just more meaningful and sure to be a big win. This fun and creative gift is usually unexpected and always well-received.

6. Google Home Mini

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

A branded smart speaker is the ultimate high-end gift. And for good reason - whether you want to order lunch, switch from music to a new podcast episode, schedule your next Zoom call, or even have Google do math for you, you can.

We like that this little speaker is also at a nice compact size and boasts a lot of value for its price. The Google Home Mini is available in a few tasteful colors with a nice textured fabric that elevates any workspace. 

This is the perfect swag gift for helping your team manage work-life balance, not to mention a great addition for C-Level and executive gifting!

7. Premium Tote  / Baggu Duck Bag

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

Tote bags are winners in our hearts for their sheer versatility! Not only are they an eco-friendly item, you can also use them for a quick grocery trip or for a relaxing trip to the park. 

And consider this: totes are a natural ‘blank canvas’ for branding. In other words, it’s exceptionally easy for your company to incorporate a cool design and boost brand awareness! This unisex swag item will be an appreciated addition to employee and client swag packs alike.

We especially recommend the premium cotton tote and Baggu Duck Bag for a quality swag experience (both available in the SwagUp catalog)

GOOD SWAG FOR: New Hire Packs, Branding, Client Retention, Brand Awareness, Virtual Conference

8. W&P Cocktail Kit

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

These may be called carry-on cocktail kits, but we think the truth of the matter is that they can be enjoyed anywhere — even if you’re not flying.

Because sometimes what you need is a relaxing experience all conveniently ready to go.

Whether you’re hosting a virtual cocktail hour, or enjoying the end of a long week, these are a thoughtful addition to any pack. Cocktail kits will have everything toasting to you!  The carry on tin makes for a nice finishing touch (and can be reused!) especially when branded. 

Less mess, more fun? Count us in.

9. Asobu Portable Coffee Brewer Kit

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

The first of its kind insulated portable brewer. Ever wanted to make cold brew yourself? With this kit, you can.

No refrigeration needed. We love coffee brewer kits as an exceptional swag gift for anyone working remotely - sure to be a splash, especially when paired with some local coffee blends. 

If your team thrives on caffeine, don’t miss this opportunity. Coffee brewers have become increasingly popular with organizations moving toward an all-remote workforce and the Asobu Portable Coffee Brewer Kit is one of our favorite options. (Yes, you can make tea too.)

GOOD SWAG FOR: Remote Life Transition, Survivor Kits, Client Onboarding, Corporate Gifts, Special Occasions, Customer Appreciation
