Spring delight
Spring brings more than flowers and fresh air—it brings opportunity. From outdoor team events to new product launches and seasonal client outreach, this time of year is packed with chances to engage employees and build buzz.
If you’re planning spring activities and want branded merchandise that makes an impact (and actually gets used), I’ve got you covered. Here are my go-to promo items for spring—designed to delight, support your event goals, and keep your brand front and center.
1. Performance Tees and Polos
Lightweight and breathable, performance fabrics are ideal for everything from fun runs to team picnics. I recommend moisture-wicking options with subtle branding that keeps your team looking sharp but comfortable.
These are always a favorite for spring launches and outdoor workdays.
2. Packable Jackets or Windbreakers
Spring weather can be unpredictable. Branded windbreakers or lightweight jackets are functional, stylish, and great for layering.
These also work well as thank-you gifts for volunteers or event staff—and they fold up easily for portability.
3. Picnic Blankets or Stadium Mats
Great for field days, open-air meetings, or family-friendly gatherings, these items create a branded experience people enjoy again and again.
Choose options with carrying straps or waterproof backing for bonus utility.
4. Custom Water Bottles or Infusers
Hydration is always on-brand, especially during warmer spring days. Branded water bottles with infusers or wide mouths are a great gift that fits all kinds of events.
They’re reusable, eco-friendly, and travel well—ideal for teams on the move.
5. Sun Protection Swag
Think sunscreen packets, branded sunglasses, or clip-on visors. These make excellent giveaways at outdoor events and show that your brand pays attention to comfort and care.
They’re simple, affordable, and surprisingly appreciated.
6. Launch Kits for Product or Brand Reveals
Spring is a popular time for companies to debut new offerings. I help clients create launch kits that include:
- Branded boxes
- Product samples
- Promo items (like stickers, pens, shirts)
- QR codes to landing pages or launch videos
This is one of the best ways to create excitement and leave a lasting impression.
7. Eco-Friendly Giveaways
Spring and sustainability go hand-in-hand. Consider bamboo utensils, recycled notebooks, or seed paper that grows into wildflowers.
Not only do these items align with Earth Day initiatives, but they send a message about your brand values.
8. Lightweight Tote or Drawstring Bags
Perfect for carrying items during an event, tote bags double as walking billboards. Choose fun seasonal colors or opt for neutral tones with crisp logos.
They’re a safe bet for almost any audience and event type.
Tips for Spring Promo Success
- Start early: Spring events come fast—order 4–6 weeks ahead for full product range and delivery flexibility.
- Bundle when possible: A tee + water bottle + sunglasses = an elevated experience.
- Focus on usability: Items should match the setting—outdoor-friendly, easy to carry, weather-appropriate.

Spring is full of energy and fresh beginnings—your swag should reflect that! With the right items, your brand can be part of every picnic, launch, or sunny afternoon.
