What a strange world we find ourselves in today. As of this writing, COVID-19’s global spread has infected hundreds of thousands and forced millions to seek shelter in their homes.

For many who still have jobs, working from home has become virtually mandatory. The need to engage and communicate remotely has arguably never been greater.

We’ve seen a compassionate shift in companies trying to engage and comfort their customers and employees during these uncertain times.

And that’s fundamentally changing how they use branded swag.

We put together these work from home swag ideas that will hopefully allow you to connect with your employees and customers wherever they are.

We’ve broken them down into the following home essentials:

  1. Swag ideas for your desk and home office
  2. De-stressing items
  3. Work from home apparel
  4. Caffeine break merch

    Great article Ryan! I particularly like the foam roller and yoga mat. During pandemic, many more people have started working out at home. Also, I feel some trendy face masks can be a great addition to any swag pack these days.
