Start Summer in Style: Discover Must-Have Promotional Items!

Summer is officially here! It’s the perfect time to ride the season’s energy with bright, practical promo gear that keeps your brand top-of-mind—at the beach, at a braai, and everywhere in between. Below are crowd-pleasing ideas (with ready-to-brand product picks) to help you create memorable, high-impact giveaways and gifts all season long.

Game On: Fun, Hands-On Giveaways

Make every get-together an ice-breaker. Classic tabletop games deliver endless replay value and repeat brand exposure.

• Stack up the good vibes with the Tumbling Tower—a timeless, portable block-stacking favourite that’s perfect for family days and team events.
• Or go for a multi-game crowd-pleaser like the 39cm Chess • Backgammon • Checkers Set to keep everyone entertained long after the sun sets.

Braai Essentials: Where Great Food Meets Great Branding

No South African summer is complete without a braai—and branded gear makes your logo part of the ritual.

• Give your hosts a useful, good-looking combo with the 6 Piece Barbeque Set in Apron (tools + apron in one neat pack).
• Planning a company picnic? The Cooler Bag with Braai Set pairs chilled drinks with ready-to-grill convenience.

Chill in Style: Branded Drinkware & Coolers

Keep beverages at the perfect temp—and your brand in every photo.

• Add table-top polish with the stainless-steel Wine Cooler, or step up capacity with the Hoppla Napa Valley Double Wine Cooler.
• Prefer soft-touch portability? Try the Hoppla Robertson Neoprene Wine Cooler for picnics and sundowners.
• Level-up comfort anywhere with the seat-and-storage combo: Birdseye Picnic Chair Cooler.

Sun-Ready Favourites for Outdoor Events

From giveaways to staff kits, these summer staples deliver daily use (and daily impressions).

• Shades that suit everyone: Classic Matte Black Sunglasses.
• Hydration that travels: the lightweight Aluminium Water Bottle.
• Beach-day fun that lights up your logo: Glow-in-the-Dark Frisbee and the colour-changing LED Crowd Beach Ball.
• Easy-carry packs for event collateral or swag: the custom-printable Sublimated Drawstring Bag.
• Summer footwear with serious brand real estate: Kooshty Mangrove Flip Flops.

Soundtrack the Season: Portable Audio People Love

Make your brand the life of the party with practical tech that gets used all season.

• Clear sound, compact form: Martins 10W TWS Bluetooth Speaker—great for terrace tunes and team picnics.

Branding Tips for Maximum Summer Impact

• Keep artwork bold: High-contrast logos and short taglines read best outdoors and in motion.
• Bundle smart: Create themed sets (e.g., sunglasses + water bottle + drawstring bag) for premium gift packs.
• Think longevity: Choose durable items people will use long past the season for extended impressions.
