Cozy mascot gifts for Fundraise Up employees

Happy team, happy client, and happy unicorn—these holiday gifts for employees were such a hit that we added them to our catalog.

Context

Fundraise Up is all about making giving easier. Their donation platform helps over 3000+ nonprofits raise more money with seamless payment options. But beyond their mission to support nonprofits, they also put a lot of heart into celebrating their team.

Since 2023, we’ve had the pleasure of creating custom swag for Fundraise Up—one of our most creative and inspiring clients. They never stop on ready-made swag. Every item, from welcome packs to holiday gifts, is thoughtfully designed from scratch through brainstorming, sampling, and refining with Swag42.

For the winter holidays, they wanted something special—a warm, huggable gift set inspired by their beloved unicorn mascot.

Swag42 accepted the challenge.

Solution

We created corporate holiday gifts for employees at Fundraise Up, organizing individual and bulk shipments worldwide. We ensured everyone received their gift boxes before the winter holidays.

The unicorn mascot was the central item of the corporate holiday gifts for employees. The gift box contained: 

1. Soft unicorn travel pillow;
2. Unicorn cotton poncho towel;
3. Zip-up high-neck hoodie;
4. Transparent plastic tumbler cups;
5. Sticker packs.

For an elegant finished look, we packed the gifts in black matte boxes with custom greeting stickers and filled them with all-over-printed tissue paper.

Cozy unicorn travel pillow

Swag42 brought the client’s design to life. Made from white velour with green accents, the pillow features a holographic horn and a flat patch for the face. For branding, we used a Jacquard label.

The pillow has a memory foam filling and a removable pillowcase with a small zipper at the back for easy cleaning.

Cotton poncho towel

This unisex 100% cotton towel has an embroidered logo on the right side and a jacquard tag with the logo on the left side pocket. The customer provided sketches for the mane, ears, and horn, specifying that the horn should stand up. 

We refined the design to ensure the details were brought to life with the proper form and structure.

Zip-up high-neck hoodie 

Made from thick brushed footer fabric (320 GSM), this hoodie is a universal gift for the cold season. Customized with multiple silkscreen prints, PVH and fabric pullers, it captures the innovative and vibrant spirit of the Fundraise Up’s brand.

Tumblers and stickers

This transparent plastic tumbler has a 360-degree print that wraps around the surface. On the client’s request, we created the cups in 5 designs:

As a final touch to the holiday gifts for employees, we added laminated custom stickers. These stickers can be used on various surfaces, from laptops to water bottles, helping Fundraise Up promote their brand in public.

Swag creation process

As we planned custom production with conceptualization, samples, and refinements, we started the project 6 months before the expected delivery. This gave us enough time to carefully calibrate each item and organize on-time global delivery before the Christmas rush.

Crafting holiday gifts for employees together

Warehousing services

Fundraise Up stores corporate merchandise in Swag42’s warehouses while we deliver it to gift owners on request. This saves Fundraise Up hours, as they don’t have to handle the gifts physically. 

All they need to do is provide the delivery data, and we take care of the rest—packing, quality control, and organizing bulk and individual deliveries.

Results

This project was a big success, and everyone involved was happy with the outcome. Starting in the summer gave us time to create high-quality holiday gifts for employees that met all the requirements and were delivered on time.
