Branded homeware for companies: what it costs and what to choose for each use
Homeware gifts start from £2.20 per unit, with branding included on items that allow it. In this category, it is not worth choosing on photo or price alone: a blanket, a lunch box or a board each call for different materials and branding methods if you want the gift to be genuinely used. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real products, and the decisions worth checking before you order.
How much does branded homeware cost?
The table shows the unit price with your logo in one colour in the standard position, excluding VAT and delivery. As quantities go up, the branding setup is spread across more units and the cost per item comes down.

For trade shows, tastings and easy handouts
At a trade show or tasting, the best choice is something small, useful and easy to carry. Bottle openers, corkscrews and coasters work well here: they are easy to hand out, light to transport, and can take pad printing, UV digital printing or laser engraving depending on the material and finish you want.
The usual mistake is forcing a large logo onto a tiny surface. With these gifts, a short and clean branding area works better. If your identity relies on several colours or gradients, UV is the better option; if you want something discreet and durable on metal or wood, engraving stands up better to use.

· 250 units For starters and hybrid working
For welcome packs, the office or working from home, a lunch box or travel cutlery set is useful from day one. These usually allow pad printing, circular screen printing or UV digital printing on the lid, and laser engraving when the item is steel, for a more understated result.
Do not place the logo where it touches food. In this product family, it is better to brand the lid, the side or the handle, not the part that is used directly. If you want to see formats designed for this purpose, look at the branded lunch boxes and check the exact branding area on the product page.

When you need a year-end detail or an easy gift for the whole team, blankets work because they fit into any home and get real use. Embroidery is the most solid option on textiles; transfer printing works well for logos with more detail or several colours on the bag or on the blanket itself.
At home, discretion matters most. A small logo in one corner, on the trim or on the pouch lasts better in use than a large one in the centre. If the gift is going to different sites, think about shipping volume as well before you finalise the selection.

· 250 units For key clients and anniversaries
For a key client or an anniversary, it is worth stepping up the material. A bamboo or acacia board, or a set with a knife, stays on the table and takes discreet laser or CO₂ engraving well, with no ink and in the natural tone of the item.
Avoid branding the surface that touches food. On boards and knives, the logo usually works better on the reverse, the handle or the side. If you want to build out the gift, you can combine it with other branded kitchenware in the same quote.

Minimum order and artwork
The minimum order is £83.40 excluding VAT per quote, and you can mix models to reach it: a lunch box for the office, a blanket for year-end and a wine set for clients can all go together. The prices on this page are per unit, with your logo in one colour in the standard position, excluding VAT and delivery; if an item is supplied without branding or needs a different technique, the product page will say so.
You can place the logo on the product page and see the price straight away, or ask for a free life-size mock-up before you decide. You only pay when you approve the design, and the lead time is shown on each product page.
