As a time of year, winter may not be associated with the greatest demand for promotional gifts. However, this is when, during the general poor weather, people are looking for more comfort. Offer your customers well-chosen, quality products that come in handy in everyday use. Remember that even during this period, you can provide your partners with unique solutions.

Check out our picks for the top five winter goodies.

1. Polar fleece blanket

Warmth is what matters in winter, a cliché but one that cannot be denied. In the cold months, practically everyone feels the need to cover themselves with something warm, and a blanket made of soft and warm fleece is ideal for this. As you would expect from a good promotional product, the blanket offers branding options depending on the customer's wishes. If you are looking for an item to increase the visibility of your business to your customers and you operate in the leisure-related sector, a fleece blanket is a must have. Hotels, restaurants and cafés with winter outdoor gardens or ski resorts will particularly benefit from buying these products and personalising them to their needs.

2. Polar fleece sweatshirt

We are sticking with fleece because this material is ideal for colder days and many interesting products are made from it. One such product is undoubtedly the zip-up sweatshirt. It is available in subtle colours and can be personalised with your company logo. The sweatshirt is a versatile piece of clothing that will come in handy on many occasions. Combined with the use of delicate branding, it can be a practical gift for employees of companies in any industry. The fleece is also perfect as part of a work uniform for those who do their work outdoors.

3. Thermal mug

A simple yet often 'life-saving' everyday item that practically everyone will appreciate. The ability to get warm at any time with a hot cup of tea or coffee will certainly be appreciated by those working in the outdoors or on production facilities. 

The mug can also become a good part of starter packs for corporate employees starting their new jobs. They will find the privilege of sipping their favourite coffee between meetings priceless. The mug has a large surface for labelling, on which the company logo will be perfectly visible. The product does not fall into the category of the cheapest gifts, but by its employer branding potential it is definitely worth the price.

4. Winter hat

The key to a good winter hat is the material from which it is made. It must be breathable to minimise excessive sweating. The headgear must also be warm enough to keep you comfortable even in the toughest conditions. If you are in the sports industry, as a professional sports club or at even a fitness club, this is the winter gadget for you. The product is available in fashionable colours, with the option of placing a logo or any customised branding on it.

5. Reflective wristband

In winter, dusk falls exceptionally quickly and darkness dominates for most of the day. At this time of year, it is particularly important to consider the safety of people walking on roads and pavements. A simple product that will improve their visibility in the dark is a reflective wristband. It can be worn on a jacket sleeve, on the leg of a trouser or attached to a bag or backpack. The product offers the possibility of any corporate branding and is an inexpensive yet very useful gadget for winter. It is definitely worth having in your inventory of gadgets if you operate outdoor or sporting events.
