Many businesses say thank you to their team at the end of the year. Branded clothing is a popular choice because it is useful, it is worn long after December, and it builds team pride. The key is choosing something people genuinely want to wear and ordering early enough to avoid a last-minute rush.
Gift ideas people actually wear
- Hoodies and sweatshirts. Comfortable, warm and worn on and off the job. See branded hoodies & sweatshirts.
- Gilets and bodywarmers. A practical layer for winter. See branded gilets.
- Fleeces and softshell jackets. A higher-value gift for long-serving staff. See fleeces & work jackets.
- Beanies and caps. A simple add-on for the whole team. See our headwear guide.
Keep the branding subtle
A gift should feel like a gift, not a uniform. A small embroidered logo on the chest is usually more welcome than a large back print. Embroidery also looks premium. See embroidery vs print and our logo placement guide. Adding each person's name can make it feel more personal. See our guide to names on workwear.
Collect sizes without spoiling the surprise
If you want the gift to be a surprise, use sizes you already hold for uniform orders, or ask everyone for sizes as part of a wider kit update. Fit varies between brands, so check our sizing guide and women's fit guide, and consider ordering a sample first.
Think about the whole team
Include part-time staff, office staff and anyone who works remotely so nobody feels left out. With no minimum order, you can add a few extra pieces in common sizes for new starters in the new year.
The short version
Choose a quality garment people will wear, keep the logo subtle, collect sizes quietly and order early. A branded hoodie or gilet given in December is still being worn, and still showing your brand, long into the year.
