BRANDED GIVEAWAYS & CORPORATE GIFTS THAT ACTUALLY GET REMEMBERED

BRANDED GIVEAWAYS THAT EARN THEIR PLACE - NOT THE BIN

A giveaway that ends up in the bin isn't doing your brand any favours. And a gift that feels cheap reflects on the brand behind it.

Novelli works with businesses across New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the United States to create branded giveaways and corporate gifts that people genuinely want to keep - from high-volume trade show items to thoughtful staff recognition gifts. We're not a catalogue. We're a creative partner who'll find the right solution for your audience, your occasion, and your budget.

Looking for inspiration? We also create gifts with purchase, corporate gear, sponsorship merchandise, and special event giveaways - and we handle fulfilment and logistics from concept through to delivery, wherever you are in the world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about giveaways and gift campaigns - and if your question isn't here, get in touch, and we'll talk it through.

What types of giveaways and gifts can Novelli create?

 Pretty much anything you can imagine - keyrings, pens, diaries, custom novelty items, premium gift sets, and fully bespoke branded products. We've made miniature silicone nail gun keyrings for Paslode and custom brick sets for trade shows. If it's useful, on-brand, and memorable, we can make it happen. 

What occasions are giveaways and gifts suited for?

Any occasion where you want to make an impression. Trade shows, in-store promotions, staff recognition, Christmas gifting, product launches, and customer loyalty campaigns are all great fits. If you're looking to engage, reward, or thank someone, a well-chosen giveaway does a lot of the heavy lifting. 

Do I need a big budget to get a quality giveaway?

Not at all. Some of our most successful giveaways have been low-cost items that were simply well-designed and genuinely useful. Resene Paints has given away hundreds of thousands of a single affordable item with huge brand impact. We'll always work to get you the maximum return for your budget.

Can the products be custom branded with our logo and colours?

Absolutely. Every giveaway or gift we produce is fully tailored to your brand — logo, colours, packaging, and messaging. We treat your brand standards as seriously as you do. 

What is the minimum order quantity?

It varies depending on whether the product is a stock item or fully custom-made. Get in touch and we'll give you clear guidance based on exactly what you're looking to create.

How long does it take to produce a giveaway or gift?

Lead times depend on product complexity, whether custom tooling is needed, and where it's manufactured. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront. The earlier you come to us, the more options we can offer - so don't leave it too late.  

Can you help if I don't know what I want yet?

That's where we do some of our best work. Tell us your audience, occasion, and budget, and we'll come back with ideas you probably haven't considered. Our team genuinely loves an open brief.

Do you handle fulfilment and delivery?

Yes. Novelli can manage the full process from concept through to delivery, including logistics and distribution. Whether you need product sent to a single venue or distributed nationwide, we can take care of it. 

Are sustainable or eco-friendly giveaway options available?

Yes. Sustainability is something we take seriously at Novelli. We can guide you toward more environmentally responsible materials and products, and our n-viroloop programme offers a recycling pathway for promotional products at the end of life. 

Which industries do you work with?

We work across a broad range of industries, including retail, construction, hardware, food and beverage, finance, health, and more. Our client list includes brands like McDonald's, Bunnings, 7-Eleven and KFC, and we're comfortable working at any scale. 

What makes a good corporate giveaway?

A good corporate giveaway is useful, on-brand, and built for the moment it's received. It should feel considered, not generic - something the recipient actually wants to keep. The best giveaways reflect your brand values, suit your audience, and give people a reason to remember you long after the event.
