Handmade, Hardy & Homespun - The Best Durable and Handcrafted Promotional Items

Best Durable and Handmade Promotional Products
Scott Kalapos on Feb 7, 2020

As we move into the new decade, there are some clearly defined trends within the world of promotional products that provide a highly useful roadmap for pleasing customers & boosting brand awareness. The 2020s are ushering in an area where consumers are willing to spend a little more for higher quality products. While "quality" can be interpreted in a number of different ways, promotional product industry authorities are seeing customers placing a lot of value on an item's durability. In other words, they want products that are going to last. In addition to longevity, style is a heavily weighted component.

One of the most sought-after motifs right now is a homestyle, handmade fashion. It provides a cross between modern and rustic that current markets can't seem to get enough of. Add in environmental sustainability, and you have a good idea of what consumers are looking for. While we recently published an article surroudning our eco-friendly promotional products, this one will focus on 13 of our strong, sturdy, and simply stylish items. 

1. Customized 16 oz Campfire Mug

The first homespun promo product we'll explore today is our 16 oz Campfire Mug. These high quality personalized mugs are perfect for outdoor excursions. Whether camping, hiking, hunting, or commuting, this is a custom coffee mug that won't let anyone down. Despite being thoroughly rugged items, they're still delightfully lightweight and easy to carry anywhere. Each carries 16 oz of one's chosen beverage and is fully food safe, meeting FDA and Prop 65 requirements.

They're constructed from powder coated steel and are available in your choice of white, black, blue, red, or green. The powder coating and large, sturdy handle create a rustic look with a shade of modern chic. In terms of size, these promotional homestyle mugs are 5 5/16 inches wide by 3⅝ inches high by 3⅝ inches deep. They're imprinted with your corporate logo design in one color in a 2 inch wide by 2 inch high imprint area. A second imprint color can be added for an upgrade charge.
