Schools, PTAs, booster clubs, and universities use promotional products differently than most businesses: the goal is usually a mix of practical daily use (school supplies students actually need) and visible school spirit (mascot- and logo-branded gear for events and fundraisers). Gimmees.com supplies custom pencils, backpacks, notebooks, and water bottles for classrooms, back-to-school events, and district-wide programs, with pricing starting under $0.25 per unit, free artwork assistance, and production as fast as 3 business days.

How Schools Use Promotional Products
Back-to-School Night
Custom pencils and crayon-and-pencil sets handed out at back-to-school night or open house give families a practical, branded item that immediately goes into daily use in the classroom.
PTA & Booster Club Fundraisers
Drawstring backpacks and sport bottles sold or given as fundraiser incentives keep circulating your school's name well beyond the event, since students carry and reuse them throughout the year.
Field Day & Athletics
Frisbees, bike bottles, and small sports packs are common field day and team giveaway items — inexpensive enough for large quantities, and durable enough to hold up to outdoor use.
Student & Staff Recognition
Full-color notebooks and higher-end items work well as graduation gifts, honor roll recognition, or staff appreciation — items that feel like a genuine gift rather than a bulk giveaway.
Frequently Asked Questions: School & Education Promotional Products
Common questions from teachers, PTA volunteers, and district purchasing offices ordering for the first time or reordering.
Schools, PTAs, and booster clubs most commonly order custom pencils, crayon and pencil sets, drawstring backpacks, notebooks, and water bottles for back-to-school events, fundraisers, and student recognition. Pencils and crayon sets are the top choice for classroom-wide giveaways because of their low per-unit cost, while backpacks and water bottles work well as fundraiser incentives since students use them for years afterward.
The Buy Write Pencil (#111) has a 500-unit minimum starting at $0.21/unit, making it one of the most budget-friendly options for outfitting an entire school or grade level. The 12 Piece Crayon and Pencil Set (#15294) has a lower 150-unit minimum starting at $1.99/unit, which fits smaller classroom or single-grade orders better.
Yes. Every item — backpacks, notebooks, pencils, water bottles — is fully customizable with your school name, mascot, district logo, or event branding. Artwork setup, digital proofs, and revisions are provided at no charge, and nothing goes to production until you approve the proof.
Most school items ship in 3–5 business days after proof approval — the Small Sports Pack ships in as little as 3 days. The Full-Color Notebook, which uses a more involved full-color print process, takes about 10 business days. Rush production is available on select items for schools working against a fixed event date.
Yes. Custom pencils, sharpeners, and frisbees are the lowest-cost items in our education lineup, starting under $1/unit, which makes them practical for outfitting an entire elementary school or district-wide event. Pricing drops further at higher quantities.
Drawstring backpacks, sport bottles, and the Small Sports Pack are popular fundraiser incentives because they have real everyday utility — students use them well past the fundraiser itself, extending your school or booster club's visibility. Frisbees and bike bottles also work well as field day or spirit week prizes.
Yes — free artwork assistance is included on every order regardless of size. Our in-house art team can clean up a low-resolution school logo or mascot file, match district colors, and prepare a print-ready proof at no extra charge, which is especially useful for PTA and booster club volunteers.
Yes. Reorders using previously approved artwork have no setup charge, which makes it easy and less expensive to repeat a popular item — like the crayon and pencil set — year after year for back-to-school. Your artwork stays on file indefinitely, so reordering is typically just a phone call or email.
No. Gimmees.com works with individual classrooms, PTAs, booster clubs, single schools, and entire districts alike. Order minimums are set at the product level (as low as 100–150 units for several items), not by customer type, so a single classroom teacher can order just as easily as a district purchasing office.

Promotional Products for Schools & Education — Buyer’s Guide
Promotional products for schools serve a dual purpose that's different from most commercial buyers: they need to be genuinely useful to students and families, not just brand impressions. A custom pencil or notebook that a student actually uses in class carries a school's name and mascot into daily life far more effectively than a giveaway that sits in a drawer. Because school and PTA budgets are often tight and volunteer-managed, low minimums, transparent all-in pricing, and free artwork help matter more here than almost any other buyer category.
Gimmees.com has supplied schools, PTAs, booster clubs, and universities with custom school supplies, bags, and giveaways since 2004. We carry 3,300+ promotional products across every category, all available with your imprint, free artwork assistance, and a low price guarantee. Orders ship to all 50 states with instant online quotes that include all fees — setup, shipping, and imprinting — so there are no surprises for volunteer treasurers or purchasing offices. Call 888-926-6385 Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm Eastern, or use the instant quote tool on any product page.
