The holiday season is here, and that means schools, nonprofits and businesses are looking for an affordable way to strengthen their relationships with employees and donors. You need something memorable that doesn’t cost a fortune. Galaxy Design Squad can help. We make high-quality lapel pins, holiday challenge coins and other items designed to make a great impression.
How Can Custom Lapel Pins Be Used During the Holidays?
When it comes to custom lapel pins, the possibilities are almost endless. You can give them away at holiday parties, use them as donor-appreciation gifts or sell them to raise money for your latest project. You can even create a set of collectible pins, giving people a reason to continue supporting your organization.
For schools, lapel pins are ideal for recognizing volunteers or rewarding students for reaching their goals. Many companies also give away lapel pins at end-of-the-year awards banquets. We can help you come up with Christmas lapel pin ideas that make sense for your goals and your budget.
What Makes Challenge Coins a Unique Holiday Gift?
Challenge coins are just more than tiny objects. They blend storytelling with meaningful symbols, turning them into cherished keepsakes. Challenge coins also come with a level of exclusivity that you just can’t get from a branded coffee mug or backpack. If you want to make a meaningful gesture, consider giving custom coins as holiday gifts.
Are Lapel Pins the Perfect Stocking Stuffer?
Lapel pins also make an excellent stocking stuffer, as they’re small and affordable. Unlike T-shirts and pens, custom pins are also highly personalized. This makes them easy to gift, whether you’re the executive director of a nonprofit or a manager looking for a meaningful way to reward employees.
How Organizations Use Pins and Coins for Holiday Recognition
Annual meetings, recognition banquets and other events are the perfect time to recognize employees, volunteers and donors. Here are just a few ways to use lapel pins and holiday challenge coins for recognition purposes:
- Volunteers. Challenge coins are ideal for recognizing significant achievements, such as completing 10 years of volunteer service.
- Donors. Consider sending each donor a limited-edition challenge coin to show your gratitude for their support. Coins are small enough to fit into an envelope, making them one of the most affordable gift options.
- Students. Pins and challenge coins are ideal for recognizing student achievement. For example, you might want to issue a pin to all the student musicians performing in your annual holiday concert.
- Employees. Coins often represent membership in a team or community, so you can use them to boost morale and create a sense of belonging among employees. Pins are also ideal for marking service anniversaries at the end of each year.
Creative Fundraising Ideas with Custom Pins and Coins
Many organizations give away challenge coins and stocking stuffer lapel pins, but you can also use them to raise money. If you advise your school’s student council, for example, you might want to sell holiday-themed pins and use the proceeds to cover the cost of attending a spring leadership conference.
For nonprofits, custom pins and coins are ideal for holiday drives. You can even offer a different pin to each donor tier. Every pin we produce is made from high-quality materials, but we can add premium finishes to the pins reserved for top donors.
