I called other companies just to see what other options I had – and Baiza’s concise follow up ultimately made the decision easy, and I’m happy I made it. I know I put your team in a time crunch, and I’m glad that you came through.

We love working with Larry and the team at Branded Items. They are an absolute pleasure to work with, flexible and happy to provide suggestions or source items to meet our needs. We completely trust the team for their ability to get items delivered, even with very specific delivery times and tricky locations.

Every member was totally floored with the finish product. All of the employees (150 employees) located on the 2nd floor are extremely jealous and yes, we are 100% satisfied with the finished product.

We've been using BrandedItems for close to four years now, and honestly, they never miss. Every time I come to Larry with another random or slightly crazy merch idea, his response is always "leave it with me" and somehow he always finds exactly what we're looking for.

We have put our business with Brandeditems for several years. As a large e-commerce business undergoing a large brand refresh, we needed a reputable, trustworthy, and price-competitive merchandise and promotional materials supplier on board.

Larry and his team have always gone above and beyond. Impeccable service, fast turnaround on both quotes and end delivery, well considered ideas and options, excellent range, and a high standard of finishing. I'm always impressed with Brandeditems customer care – and you always feel (always are) in the very safest of hands.

Frequently asked questions

Employee onboarding gifts are items that are typically given to a new staff member. These can be single items or in a welcome pack. Examples of onboarding gifts are drinkwear, notebooks and pens, laptop bags, and branded apparel. These gifts show employees that you are prepared for their first day, and improve their motivation on the job. 

Need inspiration? See our selection of pens and drink bottles from our supplier catalogue. 

The most important things to include are everyday work essentials, such as laptop bags, notebooks or journal, drink bottles, mouse pad, and drink bottles. Other good onboarding gifts are wireless chargers, power banks, Bluetooth speakers, multi-device charging accessories, and curated tech travel kits. Premium tech gift sets are also popular, as they feel like something a recipient would genuinely purchase themselves. 

Most of our clients choose full gift packs over single items. A pack sends a stronger message, and you can combine practical items with elements that introduce your company culture from day one. In saying that, smaller starter packs or single premium items work well for businesses with tighter budgets or high-frequency onboarding. 

When choosing onboarding items, it’s important to think beyond branding and focus on usefulness. Here’s what you should consider: 

  • The role of the employee (office-based, field-based, remote or hybrid)
  • Practicality. Will the items be used regularly?
  • Brand identity. Do the items reflect company culture and values?
  • Size requirements (especially for apparel)
  • Consistency across departments or locations
  • Storage and distribution
  • Budget per employee


We can guide you through all these decisions so that each pack is both meaningful and useful.

Absolutely! We regularly handle distribution for businesses with multiple offices and remote teams, and can ship directly to your employees' home addresses. We can also manage bulk runs or staggered deliveries as per your hiring schedule, so every new staff member receives their pack at the right time. 

Certainly. Many of our clients reorder onboarding packs regularly. Here’s how we can support you: 

  • Keeping your product selections consistent
  • Remembering adn reusing your artwork and branding details
  • Efficiently managing reorders and keeping you informed when it's time to do so
  • Updating pack contents when required

The best employee gift is one that's been chosen with the recipient's day in mind. We usually advise customers to select useful items that have a clear daily purpose, are made from quality materials and feel relevant to the person's role. Thoughtful presentation helps too. 

Yes definitely. Packaging plays a huge role in how these onboarding gifts are received. We can help you create a professional and welcoming unboxing experience with these optional extras: 

  • Branded welcome boxes
  • Custom packaging designs
  • Tissue wrapping and protective packing
  • Personalised welcome cards
  • Branded inserts or onboarding messages
