Australia, Cosy up with Your Ultimate Guide to Winter Merch!

Australia, Cosy up with Your Ultimate Guide to Winter Merch!

By Claudia Lamb

The last whispers of warmth are fading fast, and the great Aussie brands are already dreaming of cosy winter merch campaigns and Christmas-in-July cheer.

Here’s a little insider tip: Creating a Good Thing that’s genuinely unique takes time (at least 8 weeks, to be precise). So, if you envision bestowing your clients, customers, team, and broader community with delightful, branded products this frosty season, now’s the perfect moment to get the ball rolling.

Why the timeframe? Because these aren’t off-the-shelf items sitting in a warehouse. The size, colour, materials, design, and specifications are all in your complete creative control. 

Psst… reading this a tad late? No worries, mate! Our ready-to-go catalogue has great options if you’re short on time.

Now, without further ado, here’s how to ensure your brand community isn’t left out in the cold come June.  

Our best beanie picks - winter merch must have

Custom Branded Beanies 

They say you lose most of your body heat through your head and feet, so get on top of this with a good beanie. A well-designed beanie is effortlessly eye-catching, boasts broad appeal, and presents a branding opportunity not to be neglected. While winter makes beanies incredibly practical, they’re also a year-round style statement, meaning your brand gets exposure every season. The question is, how do you like your beanie? Pom-poms or no pompoms? Logo -embroidered or embossed? Cuffed or uncuffed?

Custom & Catalogue Jackets and Vests  

For those who aren’t living in their hoodie 24/7 next season, a custom jacket or vest could be just the ticket for your winter merch range. While our northern state mates might not experience the same frosty air, even a hint of below 20 degrees can have them calling for a lightweight layer.

Whether your audience wants to rock a retro vibe with a custom-made printed jacket or prefers a snazzy, lightweight option, your audience will be warm, and your brand will be noticed.

Our most popular mugs | Winter Merch Must Haves

Catalogue Mugs

While those iced lattes might take a backseat as the temperature drops, coffee is a year-round staple. And there’s never a season when a mug isn’t in demand. It’s a long-lasting, endlessly useful gift for your clients and customers. They’ll be wrapping their hands around your branding and keeping you top of mind with every sip. Plus, our camper mug means your brand can even go off-grid, allowing it to reach further than reception.

Speaking of coffee, there’s nothing more disappointing than a lukewarm cappuccino. Whether it’s the office, park, or daily commute, your brand can accompany us all, keeping our beloved beverages at the perfect temperature all day long. It’s safe to say a branded flask will spread warmth and awareness wherever it travels, and cannot be overlooked as a winter merch staple.

Our unique umbrellas | Winter Merch Must Haves

Custom umbrellas 

Now, in summer, some of us might brave a slight drizzle of rain, but winter rain? It’s a different kettle of fish. Nobody wants to be caught in the cold and wet. And since the weather forecast isn’t always spot-on, being prepared is key. We’ve all been caught out by those flimsy, practically single-use umbrellas. This country is accustomed to heavy downpours, so invest in quality and let your brand be associated with it.
