Swag-Bag Standouts
By Laura Bickle
We recently toured the show floor at the Promotional Product Professionals of Canada (PPPC) National Convention at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., to get the lowdown on what’s going to be in swag bags next year:
Friendship Bracelets: From US presidential elections to corporate gifting, Taylor Swift has sway! Fun and customizable, you can emblazon them with names and corporate goals.
Eco-friendly everything: Jonathan Strauss, president and CEO of PPPC says sustainable gifts are the biggest trend he’s seeing. In fact, at the PPPC welcome booth, they were giving out gummies in compostable packaging.
Wristlet keychain: Taking a cue from the popular Lululemon Never Lost keychain, several companies offer this practical item with many customizable options.
Lip Service: Always a swag-bag fave, lip moisturizer gets a green makeover, made with all-natural beeswax and soothing aloe in a sustainable kraft paper tube.
Whimsical Water bottles: In customized shapes and characters, these water bottles differentiate themselves from the standard hydration fare!
