25 New Visitor Gifts Under $25

If you're going to spend money on a new visitor gift, give someone one nice thing that they'll be excited to take home and actually use.

These would also make great gifts for new families that come into your school.

Not all of these will be right for everyone. That's ok! Find one that speaks to your community.

Some of their prices depend on quantity ordered — I just assumed you'd order at least 100.

​A cloth-bound journal like this one from MOO​

I get 20% off with MOO because I pay for a corporate account. If any of the MOO items look interesting to you, please let me order them for you!

​Fellow mug — if you're into the 3rd wave coffee scene, you've seen these before. Very luxe.

​Kinto mug — not something that will ever find itself in a goodwill donation pile.

​Nalgene water bottles — If you've ever owned one, you know these things are the real deal. Lots of color options.

Locally roasted coffee with a custom label — Get in contact with your town's favorite roaster and inquire about their custom options. It's not unusual for them to get requests like this.

Local delicacy with custom label — Is there a novelty that's a big deal near you? Whether it's huckleberry jam or local honey, you can find a supplier that will whip up a batch with a custom label.

​Farmer's Market Tote​

​Embossed leather bookmark — Don't freak out! Note that a pack of 25 costs the listed price.

Pay-it-forward envelope — Tuck a bit of cash or a gift card into your new visitor materials with some instructions or ideas for how they could use it.

Hosting Kit — Put together a basket with a set of little jams, a card game (get custom playing cards here), or a few local beverages in a custom holder.

​Embossed carpenter pencil — my new favorite for the suburban dads who work on house projects.

​Campfire Mugs​

​Bandanas — This particular provider sends them with custom belly bands (paper sealed around the middle of the bandana), which gives you a little more real estate for your organization's information.

​Flannels — Technically I don't know how much these cost 😬, but I can imagine just how often they would get used in the right community. I just had to include them. Try requesting a quote if you dare!

A cool hat that people will want to wear — like this leather one, this corduroy one, or this 5-panel one

​Field Notes notebooks — would work great for notes for individual Bible study or sermon series. If their minimum order is too high for you, check out these knockoffs from MOO.

​Owala water bottle — Trendy? Yes. Delightful & extremely likely to be used? Also yes.

​Gel Bible highlighters — a lovely gift by itself, but go the extra mile with a custom belly band as a label. Maybe get it printed with a 30-day reading plan.

Greeting card set & postage — Get notecards printed with generic scriptural encouragements, then get custom display boxes that are printed with your logo. Throw a few stamps in there for good measure.

​Plant Grow Kit — a custom terra cotta planter, seeds, and soil ship together in a set.

​Embroidered fabric patches — much, much less expensive than one would assume. Could be super cool if you live in a more rustic/outdoorsy community.

Well, did any of those get your gears turning?
