Swag You Can Stand Behind
We think swag should do two things.
1. Tell your story
2. Reflect your values
Every day, we work with ambitious teams to find the right-fit products they’re proud to keep on their desks and wear on their sleeves. All year, we’ve watched the orders come in as employees take their pick. A few winners emerge–think Dad caps, tote bags, and water bottle dreams.
We only work with suppliers that have passed strict, third-party audits for social compliance and environmental impact–you can trust anything that catches your eye. Browse through our Top Ten Gifts for a Wasteless Wishlist and head to our website to place an order. Our Good, Better, Best pricing works for any budget–no judgment–and our easy e-commerce platform makes it as intuitive as shopping online. Once you’ve finalized all the details of your order, we print your custom designs and ship directly to you. If you’re looking for assembled gifts that reflect your brand values, we have you covered. We can kit your swag pack, and drop-ship to your clients or employees directly. Pick a Swift Swag option if you’re more of a last-minute gifter, and get it delivered in 10 business days (not available for swag packs and drop-shipping).
