Mid-Summer Merch Faves
July 7, 2026

Summer’s flying by, but there’s still plenty of warm weather fun left this season. Whether you’ve got company picnics, golf outings, recruiting events, festivals, tailgates, or customer appreciation gifts on the calendar, we’ve got ideas for summer swag for every budget. 

Here are a few of our favorite picks: 

Gomi Translucent Portable Charger

Why we love it: Sustainable products don’t have to look so… sustainable. This charger feels like something you’d buy for yourself, but it’s still made from recycled plastic and repurposed e-bike batteries. Bonus: it’s repairable for life and powerful enough to charge most phones up to three times. 

Perfect for: Executive gifts, tech conferences, employee appreciation, and sustainability campaigns. 

America250 Aluminum Cup

Why we love it: If you plan to celebrate America’s 250th birthday all year long, this reusable aluminum cup is an easy upgrade from disposable drinkware for company cookouts, community events, and tailgates. Plus, it’s made in the U.S. (of course.)  

Perfect for: Summer parties, festivals, employee picnics, and civic events. 

Ruffle Socks

Why we love it: Socks have been a promo favorite for years, but ruffle socks tap into one of fashion’s biggest trends. They feel retail-inspired instead of promotional, making them much more likely to get worn. 

Perfect for: Campus recruiting, employee gifts, wellness campaigns, and lifestyle brands. 

Trucker Hat

Why we love it: The trucker hat trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon. With its classic mesh back, rope detail, and more than 30 colorways, this cap has that laid-back, retail look. Whether it’s headed to the golf course, the lake, or a weekend road trip, it’s an easy win for wearables that folks actually wear. 

Perfect for: Golf outings, breweries, outdoor events, and company stores. 

Double-Sided Sublimated Towel

Why we love it: Why settle for one design when you can have two? Whether it’s rally towels at a sporting event or giveaways at a trade show, the full-color decoration on both sides gives your creative team room to play. 

Perfect for: Sporting events, tournaments, fitness campaigns, trade shows, and fan experiences. 

Slap-Wrap Beverage Insulator

Why we love it: It’s basically a slap bracelet for your drink, and yes, it’s just as fun as you remember from the 90’s. The wrap-around design fits a variety of drink sizes, stays securely in place, and is more memorable than a standard koozie.  

Perfect for: Breweries, festivals, outdoor concerts, and summer mailers. 

Comfort Colors Canvas Zip Tote

Why we love it: Canvas totes are a staple, but the zip closure makes this one feel a little more premium. It’s durable, roomy, and comes in Comfort Colors’ signature pigment-dyed trendy colors. 

Perfect for: Welcome kits, conferences, employee gifts, and college campuses. 

These may be our mid-summer favorites, but the best promo product is the one that fits your audience. Whether you’re planning one event or stocking up for the rest of the season, thoughtful merch goes a long way toward creating memorable experiences.
