Scoffins says the best foodie item she’s used is a custom s’mores gift set that she did as a self-promo given to her clients. “Everyone who received it absolutely loved it and still talks about it two years later,” she says.
This S’mores By The Fire Camping Mug Set includes an on-trend 16-oz. enamel camping mug stuffed with a hot cocoa pack and a mini smores pack. Decorate the mug, available in black, blue, green or white, with stock art plus imprint – like Scoffins’ “Thanks, Tish” message – or customize completely with your own design.

Scoffins says her go-to is customized mint tins. “This is such an easy giveaway,” she says, “not only for transporting, but because who doesn’t love mints?”
Put your client’s logo in recipients’ pockets with a durable and reusable Flip-Lid Mint Tin for long-lasting impact. Each compact metal container (choose silver or black) holds about four dozen mints, and the price includes the four-color process imprint. Complies with Prop 65.

Scoffins wants to try bite-sized Fairytale Brownies. “I sampled them in Vegas, and they were amazing, especially the caramel,” she says.

Each brownie is individually wrapped for freshness, and there are no minimums on custom logo gifts featuring your client’s imprint on labels, gift boxes, tins or towers.

The Minots say the best foodie gift they’ve done was an executive gift package that highlighted local treats, along with durable hard goods. “We needed to include branded materials we knew would last with the gift recipients, who were clients of a business attorney,” says Vera Minot. “We started first with the food and drinks, highlighting locally made/grown wine, pecans and popcorn. We then tailored the branded goodies around those to capture the full experience.”
The Fabrizio Wine Accessories Set includes a wine stopper, 3-in-1 bottle opener, 2-in-1 wine pourer and wine drip ring to make opening wine easy. All come packed into an elegant round case for easy presentation and storage with your client’s logo elegantly debossed on top.

“We learned long ago that presentation is key, so we wrapped it all up in a subtly branded but visually impactful, on-theme tote from Bag Makers that matched the custom-printed tape holding the boxes together,” says Vera. The non-woven PET Renoir Tote features white front and back panels ready for full-color sublimation, accented by black gussets, piping and handles.

“For the first time in the firm’s holiday gifting history, they received gushing, written thank-you notes,” she adds. “The key is to find branded hard goods that perfectly complement the snacks and drinks so that the dopamine high of the perfect bite sticks around in the memory attached to that promotional product for much longer than it takes to digest the food.”
The Minots’ go-to food promo gift is kitchen tools. “We love kitchen tools that can be combined with something edible for an experiential package,” says Vera.
The Basecamp 6-Piece BBQ Grill Set features extra-long spring-loaded tongs and a long two-prong fork to help keep hands away from the heat, plus a carving knife, extra-large spatula and brass cleaning with brush – all packed into a carrying case with your client’s logo. Each sale supports the Wounded Warrior Project.

Pair those spatulas with a couple easy baking recipes and a package of Dessert Sprinkles in a reusable acrylic tube, customized with your client’s logo on the lid. Choose from 11 colors, shapes and flavors, including rainbow, stars, nut crunch and marshmallow.

The Minots want to try a decanter-and-glass set paired with a bottle of red wine for “an impression that lasts forever.”
The Juliette Decanter captures elegance and sophistication, with your client’s logo deep etched by hand. This set also comes with two or four etched 10.5-oz. Cannes Stemless Wine Glasses perfect for aerating and swirling. Pair with a carefully selected bottle of wine for a memorable gift.

Burke says her go-to foodie promo gift provides “a fun way to send a thank-you, distribute gift cards, share a message or offer event favors” – as well as satisfy chocoholics and sweet tooths.
Adding a fully custom greeting card and gourmet chocolate bar all in one from Sweeter Cards to any promo program is a favorite recommendation for Burke. These delicious and ethically sourced sea salt caramel chocolate bars are made in St. Louis by adults with disabilities, using fair trade-certified chocolate and recyclable packaging.

Burke wants to try a potluck essential and a fun holiday gift set, both perfect foodie gifts for the upcoming holiday season.
Burke says she wishes for this Hot and Cold Cooler with handles every time she brings a dish to a party. “The foil trays from the store are flimsy to carry, and transporting food cargo can be suspenseful,” she adds. The insulated casserole carrier, available in blue, red or charcoal, holds a 9-by-13-inch pan in its zippered main compartment that keeps dishes hot or cool – and contained – during transport.

“The best unboxing experience is one that is as impactful as the contents inside,” says Burke, and she is very impressed by the Jingle Bells & Whistles + Advent, Lights, Music Gift Box, which features colorful lights and festive music, as well as an advent calendar-style reveal of snacks and gifts. These include rocky road popcorn, cashew brittle, white chocolate-covered Christmas tree pretzels, a customizable ceramic mug with removable bamboo coaster and a festive wooden ornament.
