Sustainable promotional gifts: 5 trends

1. Products made from natural materials

Products made from natural materials remain popular. We see familiar materials such as cotton and wood, but also lesser-known options like wheat straw, jute and coffee fibre. Hemp is gaining popularity too — see this unique hemp apron. Cork is also widely used. Think of a cork notebook or a cork fan. We also see combinations of materials, such as this cotton & cork shopping bag or this pouch made of jute and cotton.

2. Products made from recycled materials

Recycling has been around for a while, but it remains crucial for sustainability. You’ll find items like notebooks made from recycled plastic, aprons made from recycled cotton or recycled pens. Several products are also GRS-certified — a global standard that verifies whether the material is truly recycled. Looking for inspiration? Check out this blog with a top 5 of recycled gifts.

3. Green gifts

Growing and planting things yourself remains popular . Especially when spring approaches — everyone wants to get back outdoors (or onto the balcony). Seed packets and seed paper are perfect for this, but flower kits, grow boxes and terracotta or biodegradable pots work just as well. Even without green fingers, these green gifts make it easy to grow something yourself.

4. Brands with a story

Gifts from well-known brands are also popular. Think of Dopper, Tony’s Chocolonely and Bambook. These are unique brands with a mission and a compelling story. They offer premium products that leave a lasting impression. We’ve created a dedicated brand page showing all the brands in our range.

5. Unique (custom) giftsets

At Greengiving, you can also choose unique gifts or sets that combine multiple products. Think of a creative work happiness gift set or a growing gift package. View all options in our collection of giftsets.
