Alumni Gifts and Giveaways
Last Updated on July 1, 2025 by Rachel Leone
These great giveaways will delight your school's alumni!
Many colleges and universities rely on their alumni to be ambassadors for their school, as well as for fundraising. Below you'll find a handful of my customers' favorite custom, personalized giveaways you can use to show your gratitude. These gifts are great for any alum, whether they graduated in 2025 or 1975!
Trends to keep in mind when selecting alumni giveaways
- Networking Accessories. Many higher education institutions organize networking events for alumni, and custom cups, koozies, or even golf balls can be great for participants to use during the event and take home as a souvenir.
- Alumni Apparel. Having a shirt with the name of your school and "Alumni" is a great way for alumni to represent their school spirit, and it's a great way for alumni to spot each other "in the wild."
- Premium Giveaways. Alumni provide a lot of fundraising to their schools, and having premium giveaways for those who give a certain amount is a great way to encourage contributions. Check out my donor gifts list for more inspiration!
- Personalization. These products can be personalized with your school's branding, and can even include the year(s) the alumni graduated.
