Freshers Freebies: Products for Universities

Now that we are coming into September, the academic year is upon us once again, and with this a new intake of first year students for universities across the country. Giving out promotional products is a brilliant way to welcome new students to the university and help them settle into their new surroundings and living spaces. Freshers week is a great opportunity to do this and help your students start their university journey in the best way possible. Whether it’s notebooks and pens for taking notes in lectures, mugs and cooking utensils to help out in the kitchen, or USB sticks and power banks to aid writing assignments, Gilt Edged can brand a massive range of items with university logos and messages to create welcoming products that are essential to student life.

Providing new students with notebooks is always a good idea. Invaluable throughout their studies, they can be used in lectures, when drafting assignments, or making lists. All notebooks featured on our website can be branded with your university logo or message, even for specific departments if required. Find one that colour matches your branding for the perfect promotional notebook. While you’re at it, why not get pens and sticky notes to match too?

Help your students get ready for the day ahead by giving them a branded mug to sip their morning coffee from. Not only will they appreciate a useful gift, but you’ll be helping them get to those 9am lectures too – which is a win-win for everyone! And nothing is better than a nice, warming drink to feel right at home.

Be there for your students when they most need it and make sure they are always fully charged. Giving your students power banks for their devices will help them stay switched on throughout their lectures and seminars, and they’re great for on-the-go use as well. This one even incorporates a speaker so it’s handy for getting ready for nights out at the Students Union!

Now that you’ve got a collection of branded items to give to your students, of course they need something to put them all in! Shopper bags are great for holding all these goodies in, and can be reused throughout the academic year as a shopping bag for supermarket trips, or carrying library textbooks around campus.
