1. Gift basket from Europe

First place in our list of the top 12 giveaway ideas made in Europe goes to the classic gift basket. Europe's many cultures make it possible to put together whole baskets on different themes. Give your clients or your team a basket on the theme of “Germany” or “Italy”, for instance, with the products to match. The Swiss gift basket is of course right at the top of the popularity scale as well. Have Twing put together the perfect gift basket for your brand and your audience. Who would not be pleased with a basket of carefully chosen products that fit your theme?

2. Sustainable cork products

Did you know? Unlike other materials, cork is 100 per cent biodegradable and can be recycled with no waste at all. Beyond the well-known bottle cork, cork can be used in very varied ways: as a yoga mat, a bag, a wallet, a keyring, a hat or even a wash bag. The range of cork products is almost endless. We are convinced that cork as a material still has a great future ahead of it — in the promotional products industry in particular. Whatever the occasion and the audience, we certainly have a sustainable cork product for you that we can finish elegantly with your logo. Ask us now!

3. High-quality notebook from Europe

With a high-quality notebook as a promotional gift you can give your audience's creativity wings. Should we not all carry a notebook with us at all times? There is something magical about writing things down by hand. Advertise with a product that captures your clients' ideas and encourages them to be productive. Handmade in Florence, Italy, from recycled leather and paper, this notebook is an ecological giveaway with great personal use. We love it!

4. Eco coffee cup from Germany

The coffee to go cups made of recycled wood fibres are ideal on the move. That makes them particularly suitable as a promotional gift for young commuters. Made entirely in Germany, these eco thermal cups also fall into the “made in Europe” category. This giveaway shines through its sustainability too, and not only because it does away with disposable cups: it is made completely without petroleum-based polymers. Another advantage: thanks to its thermal function, the reusable cup keeps your drinks warm for a long time and is 100% dishwasher-safe.

5. Bath towel made in Germany

This promotional product is produced in Germany as well. With a printed bath towel you give unforgettable moments of wellbeing. Send your clients or your employees off on a beach holiday with your brand on the towel. That way you not only make the people who received your beautifully designed promotional gift happy, you also create high brand awareness by the water. And that worldwide!

6. Seed pencil from Europe

Despite the #antiballpointpen movement, we decided to include a pencil as a promotional product in our list. What is there to say against a pencil from Europe that you press into the soil after use and watch grow into a plant? Yes, exactly — nothing at all! Your brand carefully printed on the packaging (with seed paper enclosed) makes the seed pencil a cool promotional product for a creative, environmentally aware audience.

7. Hairbrush and comb from Germany

This is a promotional product that will not cost you a hair. Individual style — where hair is concerned in particular — matters more and more. A beautifully engraved comb or hairbrush will therefore certainly go down well with your clients or your team. And if these promotional gifts are “made in Germany” and consist of natural materials as well, you are sure to leave a lasting and above all sustainable impression on those who receive them.

8. Seed packet and Eco Cube made in Germany

Another sustainable and contemporary promotional product is the Eco Cube. With organic plants in a wooden cube you give your audience a piece of nature for the desk, so they can take a restful break in the green even while working. With a laser engraving on the cube and a customisable band around it, you can add your brand to the Eco Cube in high quality. The more affordable alternative is seed packets, which can be ordered from Twing with the seeds of your choice and of course designed individually as well.

9. Glass water bottle from Germany

In Switzerland we have the privilege of drinking tap water without a second thought. Even so, more than 1.5 billion PET drinks bottles go into circulation in Switzerland alone every year. They often end up by the roadside and pollute our waters. So how about a personalised glass bottle “made in Europe”? With this promotional gift you protect not only the environment but also the health of those who receive your giveaway.

10. Swiss natural soap

Special natural soaps, which can be made in Switzerland or in Germany, are a very beautiful giveaway. 95% of the soap's raw materials come from certified organic farming and, apart from honey and milk, only vegan materials are used. Those can of course be left out. Alongside the soaps we offer further care products such as shampoo, deodorant cream or body lotion. With this promotional gift you do something good not only for your clients or employees, but for our planet at the same time.

11. Eco socks made in Europe

As with the best promotional products from Switzerland, personalisable socks are of course on this list as well. The socks are produced in a family business in Europe. On request, manufacture in Switzerland is even possible. We recommend high-quality embroidery of the socks with your design and logo. Printing is an alternative. The Eco socks are produced to a high standard and are therefore a long-lasting promotional gift. Get your socks on and spread your brand!

12. Wash bag made of apple leather

It does not only look like leather, it feels like it too! The wash bag made of apple leather is the perfect alternative to leather products. Innovative, sustainable and vegan as well: a very ecological promotional product, then. The wash bag also comes in a cork version, by the way — vegan too and very stylish. A must for the list of the top 12 giveaways produced in Europe. As a promotional product these personalisable wash bags really catch the eye and leave a lasting impression with your clients or employees.
