Summer volunteers show up and sweat it out all season long. From setting things up to running events behind the scenes, they give their time and energy to make it all happen! It’s time to take your appreciation to the next level by giving them a little something special. Custom goodies aren’t just useful items; they’re personalized reminders of the huge impact they made! Here are some custom appreciation gift ideas you can use to say “thank you” to your summer volunteers:
Sip, Sip, Hooray!
A cute tumbler, a sleek reusable water bottle, or a good old-fashioned mug will have your volunteers sipping in style! Find all of your custom drinkware needs by shopping Uth Stuph’s custom promotional products. Bonus points if you pair a custom cup with a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or an instant packet of their favorite beverage mix. Every time they take a drink, they’ll remember the fun times and all the good they did!

Outdoor Mode, Activated
After they’ve spent time helping your events be a total success, your rockstar volunteers deserve to enjoy some outdoor chill time. Custom outdoor and camping gear, like coolers, chairs, umbrellas, and picnic blankets—a.k.a the MVPs of summer chill time—are the perfect gifts for your outdoorsy crew or volunteers who enjoy a fun, spontaneous adventure. These gifts say, “Thank you for showing up and showing out; now go enjoy some you-time!”
Tote-ally Awesome Bags
Give your summer volunteers something to haul their stuff and their memories! A custom tote, backpack or travel bag is a super practical gift. It’s also an easy one to customize! Personalize them with fun designs, slogans and logos that will keep them remembering your event for years to come. Pack it with a few treats and goodies for an extra sweet surprise!
Write On!
Are your volunteers avid journalers or doodlers? Or maybe they just want to make their grocery lists feel fancier. Either way, a cute, custom notebook and pen may be just the supplies they need! If you’re feeling crazy, maybe a complete stationary or adult coloring book gift set is more your style. Emboss a meaningful quote or a simple “thank you” on the cover, and boom—it’s an everyday item turned into an extra special memento!
