What’s your favourite product and why?

It would have to be the trolley coin keyring, I’m never without one! In a world where we rarely carry cash anymore, It’s an absolute lifesaver when I need a shopping trolley or a locker at the gym!

What’s the most imaginative product you’ve seen this year?

The HidrateSpark PRO smart water bottle, without a doubt. It reminds me to stay hydrated throughout the day with a really cool light-up base, which is designed to tell you when it’s time to drink.

If you could be a branded product, what would you be and why?

I’d have to be an eco cotton shopper/beach bag, as I’m kind to the environment, useful, helpful, and something you wouldn’t throw away. It would also mean that I get to go shopping all the time, and go on plenty of holidays!

My favourite product is the personalised desk calendar. It’s a handy piece of kit that people genuinely use, and it can be fully branded, carrying your brand logo, key messaging and contact details. This means that whenever someone sits at their desk, your brand is front and centre all year round!

The Icon 3-in-1 charger is the most imaginative product I’ve seen this year. This quality desk item has a genius design that allows you to charge your mobile phone, smartwatch and AirPods simultaneously!

I’d have to be a Cocktail set. I’m a fun guy who likes sharing good times with friends, so this feels like a perfect accompaniment to a great evening.

Steph Doyle

What’s your favourite product and why?

Mine would be my Milan glass travel mug. I take it everywhere with me to make sure I get my daily dose of caffeine whilst enjoying the discount for using my own mug, which doesn’t have a weird taste due to the borosilicate glass. I’m also being kinder to the environment – no throw-away take-out mugs for me!

What’s the most imaginative product you’ve seen this year?

It’s the ice pop scraper keyring, that’s great for keeping in the car. Made entirely from recycled material, it also has a very handy trolley coin keyring attached to the centre of the design, so it’s perfect for those cold evening runs to the supermarket!

If you could be a branded product, what would you be and why?

I would be a power bank and cables to guarantee – in this modern world of tech – that my kids never run out of charge and can always get hold of me. This Mr Bio pack is perfect as it will recharge a phone two and a half times faster than a standard charger and has all the different connections while being light to carry and made from sustainable materials!

I would be a Moleskine notebook. That’s because I’d like to see myself as being smooth, stylish and ready to capture thoughts and ideas at a moment’s notice.
