Companies spend over $21.2 billion on swag each year, but not all of it goes toward premium backpacks and high-end headphones. Instead, much of that spend is funneled into smaller, low-cost items for events, team drops, welcome kits, and giveaways.

These under $10 items may not be flashy, but they’re often the ones people interact with most. After all, this price point is often the sweet spot – low enough to order at scale, but high enough to allow creativity. And while “fun” is subjective, the best picks in this range strike a balance: they’re useful, a little playful, and memorable for the right reasons.

From desk toys people won’t secretly toss to surprisingly delightful items that spark conversation, here are some of our favorite under-$10 fun company swag ideas.

1. ​​Mini bucket bag with ruched handle (from $9.77/unit)

This mini bucket bag hits the rare trifecta: practical, stylish, and just the right amount of playful. The ruched handle and velour finish give it a fashion-forward edge, while the detachable strap adds everyday versatility. 

Add your branding in an all-over print, and it becomes a low-lift, high-impact gift your team or audience will actually use.

Best for: Team gifts with personality, event merch, fashion-forward swag bags.

2. 4-piece vegan leather wine opener gift set (from $6.35/unit)

This compact wine set includes a corkscrew, foil cutter, drip ring, and bottle sealer, all tucked into a box that looks more high-end than it is. Whether you're appealing to vino lovers or just want to show your brand knows how to unwind, this is a fun yet functional pick.

Bonus: it’s vegan leather, which gives it a modern, elevated feel without the markup.

Best for: Client thank-you gifts, merch for hospitality and food brands.

6. 25 oz. collapsible silicone water bottle (from $7.49/unit)

This bottle isn’t flashy, but it’s exactly the kind of thing people are glad to have on hand, whether they’re hanging out at a park, heading to a festival, running between offsite sessions, or just spending a long day on their feet. 

It’s lightweight, leak-proof, and folds down flat when empty, making it easy to stash in a bag without taking up space. It also gets bonus points for being reusable, which means fewer single-use bottles or cups – and one less thing to feel guilty about.

Best for: Summer promos, outdoor event giveaways.

7. Roll-up picnic blanket (from $9.17/unit)

Few things say “fun” like an impromptu picnic, and this blanket makes it easy to be ready for one. It rolls up neatly (burrito-style) with a built-in handle for easy carrying and unfolds into a surprisingly roomy surface for park hangs, beach days, or backyard lounging. 

The material is soft yet durable, easy to shake out or wipe clean, and the handle color is matched to your design for a polished branded look. It’s the kind of swag people keep in their trunk or tote bag “just in case,” which means your brand gets to tag along for all the good stuff.

Best for: Company offsites, outdoor campaigns, seasonal swag drops.

8. Reversible octopus plushie (from $3.16/unit)

Yes, it’s a plushie, but with a twist. Flip it inside out to show a happy or not-so-happy face, making it an amusing little desk accessory (and a subtle communication tool). It's lighthearted and low-stakes, which is part of the charm.

Best for: Playful office gifts, mental health awareness swag.

It’s compact, clean-looking, and surprisingly powerful for its size. Customize it with your logo, and you’ve got a useful and feel-good branded gift that people will actually want to carry around.

Best for: Client appreciation gifts, event swag, new hire welcome kits.

Nobody needs a selfie light – until they try one. This clip-on ring light levels up everything from video calls to impromptu selfies and short-form content. It's small enough to live in a bag, but once it's there, it shows up at birthday dinners, spontaneous dance parties, and “wait, let’s get a photo” moments. With four light settings (including a strobe mode), it adds a little production value – and fun – to everyday snaps.

Best for: Creator-focused brands, remote teams, social-savvy swag kits.
