Reasons to gift: Summer 2024

Summer is here, bringing long days, bright skies and plenty of reasons to gift. From celebrating Pride month to rewarding your employees with seasonal events, we’ve put together a few of our favorites.

Whether you’re looking for branded swag, event-specific merch or one-off gifts from our marketplace, we’d love to help you raise some smiles this summer.

Pride Month: June

The perfect opportunity to thank, celebrate and show appreciation for LGTBQ+ colleagues, employees and the wider community. Successful campaigns speak to inclusivity and giving back the community, so make sure to include donations and gifts from LGBTQ-owned businesses.
