Fashionable Bags That Carry The Day

Let’s start with a practical gift, shall we? It’s about time we skip the cheap drawstring bags and move on to trendy bags that not only look good, but are also durable and spacious for the needs of your audience. 

From our gifting experience, we’ve noticed how receivers tend to use the “bin” test: If the bag is too flimsy, too heavily branded, or too cheap, it goes straight into the trash. Hence, it is important to invest in quality and take note of “Less is More”! Avoid placing gigantic logos on the bags and instead work on subtle branding which is more suitable for your professional audiences.

Here are some examples of ideal bags to offer at TOC Asia 2025:

• Omnim Backpack: A sleek, roomy backpack perfect for laptops and daily essentials, designed for comfort and style.

• Outdoor Utility Tote Bag: A tough, multipurpose tote that’s great for quick errands or carrying everyday items.

• Large Capacity Travel Bag: Ideal for those who need extra space, offering practicality for longer trips or hauling bulkier equipment.

Sip in Style with Great Drinkware

Another practical gift you can choose are stylish drinkware, which are often considered excellent corporate gifts for tradeshows and networking events. It’s the ultimate two-for-one: highly functional for keeping coffee hot or Singapore-appropriate iced drinks cold, and also following sustainability trends. By equipping attendees with tumblers or bottles, you are subtly fostering eco-friendly habits which will definitely reflect well on your company’s image! 

At Shopgifts, we have drinkware of different shapes and sizes:

• Leva 304SS Premium Tumbler: A durable stainless steel tumbler that are suitable for working professionals.

• Galatico Fruit Infused Bottle: For those who enjoy a refreshing twist, this bottle lets users infuse their drinks with natural flavors.

• Bullet SS Vacuum Tumbler: Compact and highly insulated, this tumbler is ideal for on-the-go sipping during hectic days.

Up the “Cool Factor” With Tech Gadgets

As TOC Asia 2025 brings together industry leaders and experts, why not add a little extra “cool” to your gifting game? If you ask us, tech gadgets are the way to go for the event due to its functionality and modernity. Fun fact: tech gifts are often among the top 3 most valued corporate giveaways in the gifting industry, with highest likelihood of retention and repeat use! 

Tech gadgets can come in various forms which are suitable for modern lifestyles:

• Bluetooth Speakers: Meet the Capsule and Metalike models that are cute sized but highly operational. They are mighty music machines that can bring the party wherever you go. A perfect gift for vibing!

• Powerbanks: High-speed chargers, including wireless options, give your audience the freedom to power up on the go. You can take a look at 66W Fast Charge Powerbank for quick charging capabilities, or Premium Super Charger with Wireless Charging for wireless charging! What a true lifesaver for phones that are constantly drained in our everyday lives.

• Portable Fans: Beat the heat in Singapore with portable fans! We have Aircon Handheld Fan and Hexagon USB Fan + Phone Stand that are incredibly helpful in making busy days feel more comfortable and refreshing.

Gifts for Wellness That Never Go Wrong

Want to provide comfort for your recipients who are always hustling and going to places? We strongly advocate for gifting wellness products that emphasize on recharging after a long day at work. Between red-eye flights and hustling around business appointments, these gifts can help them catch a break and also capture your corporate goodwill without feeling like a typical giveaway.

Here are some useful wellness companions for your audience, especially for those who are frequent business travellers:

• Premium Memory Foam Neck Pillow: Because who wouldn’t appreciate a touch of luxury and some much-needed support between meetings?

• Cotton Hand Towel: Soft, handy, and perfect for those quick refresh moments during toilet breaks and gym sessions.

• 3-in-1 Travel Air Pillow Set: A mini wellness kit that is perfect for making plane rides comfortable and free of distractions.

Extra Tip: Since the event will be held in Singapore, it will be great to add a local treat alongside these wellness gifts. Examples such as GRYPHON® Tea Sachets or Fossa® Handcrafted Chocolate are perfect side-gifts.

Not Missing Out on Budget-Friendly Options!

Sometimes the most impressive gifts are the ones that are simply the most useful, and smart gifting definitely doesn't mean you need to empty the marketing vault! You can still consider budget-friendly options that are not generic and clever; there needs to be a purpose in the gift. With experiences shared by our clients, we’ve seen how the best gifts are usually the ones that solve minor problems and provide everyday convenience (no matter the price). When you pay attention to your recipients’ needs, even affordable gifts can feel like luxuries!
