Our Top Holiday Gift Picks for 2022


Holiday gifts are a great way to reward your hard-working team or show appreciation for loyal clients and customers, plus they increase exposure to your brand. Before you get “scrooged” by supply chain issues, get a head start by ordering custom apparel early. We asked our experts to tell us what their favorite products are and why they think they’re perfect for holiday gifting season.

Hoodies are a classic! The hoodie accommodates all shapes, sizes, and genders and can be sported all year long. The Bella + Canvas Ultra Soft Pullover Hoodie is an especially popular pick. 

This product is very soft and comfortable,” Sales Representative Dave Nix says. “I particularly love the different color options available for this product.” Dave also loves that he’s washed it many times, and it maintained its look, shape, and feel. Aside from being long-lasting and comfy, it’s also versatile. “Did I mention that its fabric is buttery soft and just looks cool?” Arlie Yruma, Merchandise Development Manager, says. “It’s a great breathable fabric, and you will feel put together and cozy all at the same time in this hoodie—it’s one of my go-to products!” Customers have also mentioned that their teams feel so comfortable in this breathable, cozy fabric.

Sometimes the best gift is both stylish and functional like the MiiR Laser Engraved 23 oz. Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle. MiiR products have a sleek look and a high-quality feel, and the MiiR Thermo 3D™ Double Wall Vacuum Insulation Technology keeps drinks cold or hot without sweating or being hot to the touch.

For companies with teams and clients who like to give back, every MiiR product sold helps fund transparent giving projects to nonprofit organizations whose work empowers communities while benefiting the health of their natural environments.
