Summer is the perfect time for grilling out, which means that it’s also the perfect season for corporate BBQ gifts. To inspire your corporate shopping, we’ve rounded up the best corporate gifts for BBQ lovers and grill masters, from portable hard coolers to spice rub sets.
Portable Grill
Park-style charcoal grills leave something to be desired since they’re open to the elements and hardly even cleaned. For a more sanitary grilling experience — not to mention better heat control — consider getting a custom portable grill, such as the Cuisinart 14-inch charcoal grill. These grills are designed for portability, making it easy to bring them along to the park, pool, or tailgate. They can be laser engraved with a logo or graphic of your choice to create a corporate BBQ gift that will wow any grill master on your list.
BBQ Tool Sets
If a full-on portable grill is out of your budget, then a promotional BBQ tool set is another great option that is more budget-friendly. These tool sets are made of materials such as steel and wood and usually come in a carrying case that can be branded with your company logo. The carrying case is also perfect for transporting the tools safely to an event such as tailgate, meaning that this corporate BBQ gift will see a lot of use for years to come.
Hard and Soft Coolers
Every pit master needs a cooler to transport their meat and vegetables safely. Hard coolers are more difficult to transport due to their bulk, but they keep food and beverages ice cold for hours and even days. Soft coolers are easier to transport due to their fabric construction but don’t keep food cold for as long. Choose whichever style fits your needs and budget the best, and then customize it with a corporate logo that will advertise your business to the entire group.
Spices and Marinades
If you’re looking for a consumable corporate BBQ gift, definitely consider a set of spices or marinades that can be used to flavor meat before cooking. While you can get single spice jars, we recommend a set that offers the recipient several flavor options so they’ll be sure to find something they love. Customize it with full color packaging for a corporate BBQ gift that will leave an impression on their minds and their palates.
Outdoor Speakers
No outdoor party is complete without a Bluetooth speaker to play some classic summer tunes. Customized speakers are available for all budgets, from generic speakers that cost less than $10 a unit all the way up to speakers from major audio brands like the custom JBL Flip 5. No matter the model you choose, outdoor speakers are a great gift for grill masters who love to host cookouts and outdoor parties.
Stadium Chairs and Cushions
Picnic tables aren’t exactly the most comfortable place to sit, which is why stadium chairs and cushions are the perfect upgrade. For an inexpensive bulk giveaway, choose a simple rectangular stadium cushion, which can be branded with a large logo right on the front. For a more upscale corporate gift, choose a stadium chair that combines seat cushions with back support for hours of comfortable sitting at a park or stadium.
Camp Chairs
If you want an even more impressive corporate BBG gift than a stadium chair, consider getting some branded camp chairs instead. Camp chairs offer significant promotional real estate, thanks to their large imprint locations. You can also look into branded camp stools if you’re looking for a smaller, more affordable corporate gift in this same vein. Whether you choose a camp chair or camp stool, you’ll have a versatile gift that works for pit masters, outdoor concert goers, campers, and many other demographics!
Outdoor Blanket
Branded outdoor blankets are another versatile corporate gift that work not just for grill masters but for anyone. These blankets typically have a soft fabric on one side and a water-resistant PVC backing on the other to protect the blanket against mud and stain. They can be laid on the ground for a picnic, draped over a table as a makeshift tablecloth, or folded up and used as an impromptu seat cushion.
Picnic Baskets and Bags
In addition to coolers for food, every pit master also needs a bag or tote to carry plates, cups, utensils, and other cookout essentials. Choose from a traditional woven picnic basket, a sturdy branded tote bag, a picnic backpack for hands-free carrying, and other versatile designs. Each of them can be printed or embroidered with your company logo to create the perfect corporate BBQ gift.
Bottle and Can Coolers
A cold drink can quickly turn sweaty and lukewarm in the summer heat, and nobody wants that. Help everyone’s drinks stay cold and their hands dry with a branded bottle or can cooler. Get generic foam can coolers for under $1 a unit for an affordable bulk giveaway, or upgrade to a stainless steel can insulated from a major drinkware brand like Yeti or Corkcicle for a memorable employee appreciation gift.
Outdoor Games
No cookout is complete without some fun outdoor games to pass the time while the grill master gets dinner ready. Choose from many different classic yard games such as cornhole, foam dart rockets, giant 4-in-a-row, giant wooden dice, portable ring toss, and more. Once you make your decision, the game of your choice will be personalized with your company logo for a unique corporate BBQ gift.
