Branded merchandise is designed to grab attention, create lasting connections and provide a tangible reminder of a company or experience. Staying on the cutting edge of what’s new is a great way to keep clients engaged and interested.
Giving items that are in style and innovative shows recipients that you’re in the know and went the extra mile to create something special. Chances are if you give someone something new, high quality and useful they will keep it for longer, allowing the item to create a longlasting positive impression.
The products recommended by Madison Warran, sales executive at Perfect Promotions, PPAI 100’s No. 97 distributor, are fresh and fun items that are great for trendy gifting.
Her first pick is the Challenger Super Stretch Jacket from Storm Creek. “This jacket is the ultimate ‘wear it everywhere’ piece – casual enough for the weekend but polished enough for the office,” Warran says. Additionally, the jacket is made from 100% sustainable materials and comes in men’s and women’s cuts and five colors: black, fatigue green, navy blue, moonstone grey and merlot red.

Warran has several favorite products from HIRSCH. The first is the JBL Grip Compact Bluetooth Speaker, which is small but mighty with 14 hours of playtime and bold JBL sound quality. It’s waterproof and drop-proof, making it perfect for outdoor events or on the go. “You get the quality you expect from JBL at a great price point, plus the full-color wrap option makes it easy to add fun artwork and turn it into an eye-catching piece,” Warran says.

Then there’s the RTIC Happy Hour Pint Tumbler. This cup is leak-resistant, keeps beverages hot or cold for 24 hours and is dishwasher safe. “I love the soft-touch feel, the luxe color selection and the ceramic-lined interior on this tumbler,” Warran says. Also, this cup is high quality at a great price point, which makes it an ideal choice for group gifting, she adds.

One of Warran’s go-to product recommendations is the Vanilla Ridge Fur Blanket from Terry Town. “A great blanket is a timeless gift that never really goes out of style, and I love the trendy bubble-stripe texture on this one,” she says. Made of 100% recycled polyester, this blanket comes in a luxurious cream color and features a customizable patch that comes in rectangular and oval shape options.

Warran also recommends the Hometown 5-Panel Hat from Cap America. “I love this hat because the five-panel, streetwear-inspired style feels much more current than your standard corporate hat,” Warran says. “With the right decoration, it feels like something you’d actually want to wear – not just another company hat.” This hat can have flat embroidery or 3D embroidery and is made of a polyester/ cotton blend.

The Mophie Powerstation Wireless Slim from PCNA is another recommendation. Warran says everyone should have a reliable power bank, and this one checks all the boxes with its ultra-slim profile, luxurious feel and impressive charging capabilities. It’s also made with 50% post-consumer recycled materials and comes with a charging cable. Additionally, it boasts a two-year warranty and is airline approved, making it a worry-free gift.

Warran is hoping to try the Raycon AI Notetaker from HIRSCH soon. She says it’s a cutting-edge piece of technology designed to make your life easier. “This is one of those products I didn’t know I needed until I saw it,” Warran says. “It’s incredibly practical, especially as a salesperson looking for ways to get more time back in my day. I love that it’s discreet, MagSafe-compatible and taps into the AI trend in a way that feels useful.” The device comes in blue or black and includes a custom laser engraving.
