Smart Picks for Last-Minute Spending
Practical-Meets-Polished Tote Bags
Tote bags are a campus staple, and our fast-turnaround options ensure you’ll get them in hand before the deadline. The Little Juno Non-Woven Grocery Tote is lightweight yet sturdy, perfect for eco-conscious students hauling books or groceries.
Need something roomier? The Bullet Graphite 15” Laptop Backpack and Bullet Bungalow Foldaway Shopper Tote blend professionalism with campus-ready flair, while the Oversized Carry-All Tote fits laptops, gym gear, and more.
These items promise you and your students get more bang for your buck, even last minute!
Drinkware That Wows
Hydration never goes out of style, no matter the price or timeframe. The CamelBak Thrive™ 25 oz. Chug Bottle is a great choice, made with recycled materials.
The similarly sized Bullet Grom 22 oz. Aluminum Sports Bottle offer a sleeker, equally sustainable item that ideal for laser engraving.
For coffee lovers, the Bullet Thor Tumbler keeps drinks hot or cold—and its bold color wraps make it a social media darling. Regardless of your campus needs, these water bottles make for great last-minute purchases for giveaways, swag, etc.
Classic and Quick Notebook & Pen Combos
Looking for last-minute gifts that every student and faculty member can use? Running out of options fast? Try pairing functionality with brand visibility using fuss-free sets like the compact and durable Pocket-Buddy Spiral Notebook or the elegant Leeds FSC® Mix Pedova™ Soft Bound Journal. These bundles ship fast and cater to students and staff alike. No matter where they are in their academic career, make sure they have the right gear for all of their writing!
Desktop + Office Perks
Last-minute purchases don’t have to be stressful or big! Small but mighty items like the 8-oz Scented Tumbler Candle offer a stress-relieving upgrade to any dorm room or study space.
The practical and portable Economy Petroleum Lip Balm adds thoughtful touches to welcome kits or staff appreciation packs. Try these similar small products for a costly last-minute gift that doesn’t look last-minute.
Budget-Smart Ideas That Go Beyond “Stuff”
Curated Experiences, Minimal Effort With Bundled Gifts
Last-minute purchases can become more meaningful with careful curation! Combine smaller items into cohesive kits that feel intentional.
Pair the cozy Elite Knit Cap With Cuff and Leeman Trellis Knit Blanket for a “Winter Ready” bundle, or mix the Knit Scarf with Patch with wellness items for a wellness-focused giveaway that leaves students feeling cared for and part of your community.
