Printed pens
The workhorse of every event stand. One-colour print on the barrel, minimum fuss, maximum reach — one pen easily lasts hundreds of impressions.
Branded giveaways from under £1
When you need a lot of something, fast, without blowing the budget — these are the promotional items UK teams reach for. High-impact, low-cost, and easy to hand out at events, conferences, product launches and freshers' fairs.
Budget-first pricing
Everything on this page comes in under £1 per unit at typical event quantities (250–1,000+).
Bulk-ready
Unit cost drops sharply as you scale. Ask for 500, 2,000 and 5,000 tiers on the same quote to see the ROI curve.
Fast turnaround
Most items ship within 7–10 working days from artwork sign-off. Rush production available for event deadlines.
Six giveaways worth ordering
Not every cheap item earns its place in a goodie bag. These are the ones that actually get used — measured in second-day desk survival rate, not landfill.
Custom stickers
Full-colour vinyl in any shape. Perfect for laptops, water bottles and product packaging — cheap, sticky and hard to ignore.
Branded keyrings
Metal, PVC or bamboo. Something people actually carry — brand exposure every time they unlock a door or start the car.
Silicone wristbands
Debossed or printed with your message. A conference favourite when you want everyone visibly on the same team.
Enamel badges & pins
Small, collectible, oddly premium-feeling for the price. Great for staff swag and launch events.
Printed notepads
A5 or A6 with a branded cover. Useful enough to survive the drawer clear-out — the highest-value under-£1 pickup on our list.
How to get the most from a sub-£1 promo run
- Order in one bulk run, not several small ones. Setup costs are per print run, not per unit — doubling the quantity rarely doubles the cost.
- Pick one hero item, not five average ones. One thing people want to keep beats a bag of things they don't.
- Keep the branding readable at arm's length. Wordmark + one colour on a pen barrel is more effective than a full-colour photo-real print no one can see.
- Pre-book event deadlines. Lead time is the number-one reason promo orders miss their event date — get the quote in early even if the artwork isn't final.
