12 surprisingly fun company swag ideas under $10

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.

3. Squeaky soda can dog toy (from $3.75/unit)

A favorite among pet lovers (and their humans), this soda can-shaped squeaky toy is more than just a cute gimmick. It’s soft, durable, and perfect for brands that want to show off their playful side. Plus, if your office has dogs, it doubles as on-site entertainment.

Best for: Internal merch for pet-friendly workplaces, giveaways for dog brands.

4. Manual massage roller ball (from $2.55/unit)

This compact massage roller ball is a surprisingly satisfying way to work out the knots, whether from poor posture or too many back-to-back Zooms. Add your logo, and it becomes a thoughtful touch in any wellness-focused swag kit.

Best for: Employee wellness drops, fitness or studio promotions.

5. Waterproof playing card deck (from $2.72/unit)

These aren’t the flimsy cards from your neighborhood gas station. This sleek, waterproof deck comes with a matching box and a fully customizable back design (aka branding gold). They’re flexible, durable, and built for anything from rooftop game nights to team retreats in the rain.

Best for: Offsite kits, outdoor event giveaways.

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.

9. Mini square portable Bluetooth speaker (from $7.44/unit)

Small but mighty, this square Bluetooth speaker lets people bring the party with them, whether that’s a team picnic, desk jam session, or just making chores a little more bearable. 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.

10. Mini desktop vacuum cleaner (from $9.19/unit)

Vacuuming isn’t usually fun, but anything in miniature kind of is. This palm-sized desktop vacuum turns everyday cleanup into something oddly satisfying. It quietly takes care of snack crumbs, eraser dust, and mystery desk debris with zero fuss, and it’s compact enough to live on any workstation without getting in the way. 

Best for: Remote team care kits, tech-forward swag sets.

11. Custom handheld mini fan and phone holder (from $4.21/unit)

This fan gets the job done while also making you feel a little fabulous while doing it. With three speeds and a clever phone stand design, it's perfect for breezy FaceTimes, makeup touch-ups, or watching videos poolside without breaking a sweat.

Whether it’s handed out at an outdoor event or slipped into a summer swag kit, it’s the kind of fun-meets-function gift people actually remember.

Best for: Summer events, remote team kits, outdoor promo booths.

12. Mini clip-on selfie phone ring light (from $2.48/unit)

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.
