Previously on "Company Logo Mugs/Pens/Etc - low quantity - any recommendations"
Ahh, all those funny comments (oh my sides, they're splitting, etc etc) - I was waiting for the comments, and you did not disappoint.
Anyway, 2 or 3 years ago I sent out a xmas box containing a mug, a box of Jaffa cakes, a small box of high quality tea, a box of high quality coffee, a box of biscuits and a letter along the lines of "Relax, have a break, and take 5 minutes to plan next year on us. And whilst you are at it, think about how we can help" yada yada.
Result was I got 3 phone calls of thank you (1 was just a thank you call, nothing from it) and the other 2 said that they had took me up on my offer, and had thought of 2 projects I could help with. Result was £30k+ of additional freelance work.
I few years ago I put together a Christmas gift package for a few of my customers which worked out rather well. I was thinking of doing the same again this year.
Does anybody have any experience of promotional gift companies who can print company logos etc on mugs and (possibly) pens which are of OK quality and ok on price but can also do low quantities (say around 20-25)?
All the ones I have found on line have so-so reviews, or so 'no minimum quantity' but then have a minimum number in place (click bait).

I usually find that a bottle of Whisky or a couple of bottles of wine in a nice presentation box go down well.
If they're T-Total, F*** 'em!
And not in the biblical sense, the self righteous twunts!
Manages down their expectations for if they hire you?
At my first proper job they ordered a couple of hundred mugs to give out to clients then promptly decided they were all tat and let the staff take as many as they wanted. Which was handy as I'd just moved into a new flat.
How does giving 'OK quality' tat out to client work well?

Have you tried Vistaprint?
They were okay years back when I first set up myco.
