1. Custom Tumblers

Personalized tumblers are a school fundraising favorite. They’re durable, keep drinks hot or cold, and are used year-round. Add your school logo, mascot, or a student-designed graphic to make them unique.


2. Branded Water Bottles

Reusable water bottles are great for sports teams, field trips, and everyday use. Stainless steel options last for years and promote eco-friendly habits.


3. School Spirit Apparel

From t-shirts and hoodies to sweatpants and jackets, custom school apparel is always a top seller. Offer items in your school colors with bold mascot prints, and consider personalization for student names or graduation years.


4. Custom Hats & Beanies

Custom hats and beanies are budget-friendly items that sell well year-round. Offer a mix of styles — from baseball caps for spring sports to knit beanies for winter.


5. Engraved Keychains

Small but meaningful, engraved keychains are perfect for parents, alumni, and staff. You can add a school crest, motto, or event date.


6. Personalized Coffee Mugs

Custom mugs are a practical choice for teachers, parents, and grandparents. Offer ceramic mugs for home use or travel mugs for on-the-go mornings.


7. Spirit Blankets

Fleece or sherpa blankets with your school’s logo are perfect for chilly football games or cozy nights at home.


8. Custom Tote Bags

Reusable tote bags are useful for groceries, books, or sports gear. They’re affordable and easy to sell in bulk.


9. Car Magnets

Show school pride on the road with custom car magnets. They’re inexpensive, easy to apply/remove, and can feature your mascot or school slogan.


10. Fundraiser Gift Bundles

Bundle several small items — like a mug, keychain, and tote — into a ready-to-give package. Bundles increase your average order value and make gift-giving easy.

Tips for a Successful School Fundraiser

  • Offer variety: Include both high-ticket items and lower-cost options.

  • Promote school pride: Designs that highlight the mascot or school colors sell best.

  • Make it easy to order: Offer both in-person and online ordering for convenience.
