6 custom drinkware designs we love

A great piece of drinkware is more than just useful. It becomes part of your daily routine. From morning commutes and Zoom calls, to afternoon workouts. It’s a meaningful branded gift that can suit literally anyone.

At MOO, we’ve seen brands use custom Water Bottles and Mugs in clever, creative ways. Whether you’re planning corporate holiday gifts, employee welcome kits or event giveaways, the right design can say a lot about your brand.

Need a little inspiration? Here are six custom drinkware designs we love and the brands behind them.

1. EnerNova: mugs for hybrid working

EnerNova helps businesses make smarter, sustainable energy decisions.. When it came to creating branded merch, they chose MOO for custom Insulated Mugs. Suited for hybrid work life and ‘on-the-go’ lifestyles, they were the obvious choice to delight both clients and employees.

“We use our mugs for client and employee gifting,” says Scott Ebeling, Managing Partner and Co-Founder. “It looks great on virtual calls and makes a professional impression.”

“It looks great on virtual calls and makes a professional impression.”

Working with MOO’s design team, EnerNova explored a few creative options before landing on the winner: a Jet Black Insulated Mug with an engraved logo. Modern. Minimal. And seriously good looking.

“The experience was super easy,” Scott added. “The hardest part was choosing between the designs!”

2. Cates Real Estate: closing gifts for clients

Corporate gifting is a big part of the client experience for Cates Real Estate. And their MOO Water Bottles are a thoughtful addition to closing gifts (a present you give clients when a home sale wraps up) and new client welcome bags.

“We use our MOO Water Bottles for company branding,” says Kerry Lee Hall from Cates Real Estate. “They’re a classy addition to our closing gift baskets or new client welcome bags.”

When it came to the design of their Water Bottles, our team was ready to help. “The design team offered choices that highlighted our phone number and website. Ultimately, we kept it simple, but it was great to have options.”

The result? A custom branded MOO Water Bottle in midnight blue with a sleek silver engraving. Beautifully crafted to keep their brand top of mind. 

3. Femme Lead: memorable event giveaways

Femme Lead is a community with a mission. Since 2020, they’ve been helping women take charge of their careers and break barriers in leadership. They teamed up with MOO to create impactful goodie bags for their live event. 

“Branded materials at our events are designed to be functional and memorable,” says Founder Alexandra Ciobotaru.

“The MOO products were a big hit. Everyone loved the quality and design.”

Gifting MOO Water Bottles along with Notebooks and Notepads ensured guests could use these products long after the event was over. “The MOO products were a big hit. Everyone loved the quality and design,” Alexandra adds.

4. Cashmere fund: sleek gifts for team and partners

Cashmere is a first-of-its-kind venture capital fund that is leveraging influence to create opportunity and value. They invested in MOO’s Large Insulated Water Bottles as sleek, everyday essentials for their team and partners.

“We chose MOO Water Bottles because they look great, are high quality, and work well for both our internal team and as gifts for partners,” John Zamora, Investor and Chief of Staff, shared. 

The larger surface area gave them the perfect canvas to make their branding pop. A bold orange logo set against a clean white background makes a statement, sleek, eye-catching, and unmistakably Cashmere.

5. Full Punch: gifting that builds connection

When you’re a creative agency like Full Punch, your branded merch has to be as bold and well-executed as your campaigns. That’s why they turned to MOO for engraved Water Bottles to gift both clients and new team members.

“We’ve been big fans of MOO since the mid-2000s,” says Chris Zawada, Founding Partner and Chief Creative Officer. “When we hand something out, we want people to react positively to it.”

“There are too many c*@p products out there,” Chris Zawada, Founding Partner and Chief Creative Officer

Full Punch include branded drinkware in employee welcome kits and client gifts, helping them build relationships that feel considered and memorable. “There are too many c*@p products out there,” Chris adds. “It was key that ours not only looked cool, but were of very high quality as well.”

Mission accomplished, Chris!

6. Hireology: onboarding gifting for new hires

At Hireology, first impressions count. That’s why their team wanted something special to greet new hires on day one. 

“We wanted to create a wow moment.” Magan Marshall, Workplace Experience Specialist at Hireology, told us. “The process was smooth and easy. We sent over our logo, and the turnaround time was amazing. “I love how sturdy and heavy it is, the design is super sleek, too.”

It’s the kind of employee welcome gift that becomes a desk staple from day one. We’d certainly feel pretty valued if this beautiful Water Bottle was gifted on day one of our new job. Kudos Hireology.
