A trade show budget rarely stretches as far as the guest list. When you need to fill hundreds of hands without blowing the spend, the answer is not cutting corners, it is picking cheap items people genuinely want to keep. A well-chosen €1 giveaway beats a forgettable €10 one every time.
Below are 20 budget trade show giveaways under €10, from custom lanyards and stickers to pins, keychains, notebooks and desk toys. Every item is fully customisable with your branding and ships at business quantities. Prices are indicative per unit at typical volumes, with the minimum order quantity (MOQ) noted for each.
What makes a good budget giveaway?
- Cheap at real volume. Prices should drop meaningfully at the quantities a trade show actually needs, hundreds or thousands of units.
- Worth keeping. Even at a low price, an item should earn a spot in a bag, on a desk or on a keyring, not the nearest bin.
- Fast to hand out. Light, compact items keep the line moving at a busy booth.
- Branding that still shows. A small item does not mean a forgettable logo. Pick pieces with a clear, visible branding surface.
