It’s Time to Think Holiday: Our Favorite Giftable Items

Written by Christina Maag | Sep 25, 2025 2:17:07 PM

The holidays will be here before we know it! Yes, it’s early—but that’s exactly why now is the perfect time to start thinking about gift ideas. Whether you're shopping for employees, clients, or events, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite items from Hoopla Boise that are perfect for spreading cheer this season.

🎁 Gifts That Delight (and Deliver)

1. Cozy Apparel & Outerwear

Cold weather + holiday hustle = the need for warm layers. We love branded hoodies, pullovers, fleece outerwear, or vests that look professional while keeping recipients cozy. These make great gifts for staff, or even stylish swag for events or parties.

2. Drinkware That Travels & Impresses

Nothing says thoughtful like a high-quality tumbler, travel mug, or insulated bottle. These are practical, get daily use, and are walking reminders of your brand with every sip.

3. Bags & Totes

From reusable grocery totes to sleek messenger bags and tech-friendly backpacks, bags are always a hit. They’re practical, environmentally friendlier if they’re reusable, and offer a good amount of imprint space for creative branding.

4. Cozy At-Home Comforts

Think beyond the office with gifts that make home life a little more comfortable. Blankets, candles, slippers, or even branded kitchen items (like oven mitts or cutting boards) are the kinds of thoughtful touches people love to use—and they’ll associate the warmth with your brand.

5. Tech & Travel Accessories

We live in a mobile world, so gear that helps when travelling or working on the go is huge. Think phone accessories, laptop sleeves, or even portable chargers (if available). These are bonuses that many people don’t buy for themselves—so receiving one feels extra special.

🗓 Planning Tips: Order Early!

  • Lead Time: Custom orders (especially with imprinting, embroidery, or specialty finishes) take time. It’s smart to place orders well in advance of the rush.

  • Tariffs & Stock Volatility: Global supply chains can impact both pricing and availability, especially during the holidays. Tariffs and import costs may shift without much notice, and popular items can sell out quickly. By ordering early, you lock in your pricing and ensure you’ll have the stock you need when it matters most.

  • Artwork and Design Approvals: Don’t wait until the last minute to finalize logos or designs. Make sure your branding is crisp, clean, and high-resolution so the print comes out great.

  • Budget & Quantity Strategy: Bulk orders usually reduce cost per item. If you're gifting many people, combining orders or picking versatile items helps you maximize impact without blowing the budget.
