Corporate gift ideas for Qatar National Day: mugs, T-shirts and more

Printed gifts that staff and customers actually keep, what each one is best for, how to prepare your logo, and why National Day orders should be placed in November.

6 October 2026 3 min read

Qatar National Day is on 18 December, and every year the same thing happens: companies remember their gifts in the second week of December, when every printer in Doha is already full. Plan now, and you will have better choices and no last-minute stress.

Gifts people keep on their desk

Printed mugs

A mug is the safest corporate gift there is. Everyone uses one, and your logo is seen every morning. We print ceramic mugs, travel mugs and bottles. You can try your design on a 3D mug on our website before you ask for a quote.

Diaries and notebooks

December is also diary season. A diary with your logo or a branded notebook works as a National Day gift and a new-year gift in one. A notebook and pen gift set is a good choice for clients.

Pens

Printed pens cost little per piece and are easy to hand out at events and exhibitions.

Gifts people wear and carry

T-shirts and caps

For staff gatherings, parades and school events, printed T-shirts and caps bring a team together. Maroon and white are the natural colours for National Day. Collect sizes from your team early, because this is the step that delays most orders. You can preview a T-shirt design in our 3D design studio.

Bags

Tote bags and printed bags are useful for giving several items together, and they keep carrying your logo afterwards.

Lanyards and key chains

Printed lanyards and key chains are small extras that make a gift pack feel complete.

For the office itself

Do not forget the decoration: banners, roll-up stands for the reception, stickers for doors and windows, and flags. If you are holding an event, trophies and framed certificates are available too.

How to choose the right gift

  • For all staff: mug, T-shirt or cap. Friendly, practical and good in photos.
  • For clients: diary, notebook and pen set, or a travel mug in a box.
  • For events and giveaways: pens, key chains and lanyards.
  • For schools: caps, T-shirts and stickers for students.

The print can only be as sharp as the file you send.

  • Send the logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) if you have one. A small picture copied from a website or WhatsApp will print blurry.
  • Tell us your brand colours if they must match exactly.
  • If you want a National Day message next to the logo, send the Arabic text typed.

We send a proof showing the design on the product for you to approve before production starts.

Why you should order in November

Printed gifts are made to order. Blank items have to be in stock in your quantity and colour, the proof has to be approved, and then the printing takes its turn in the queue. In the weeks before National Day that queue gets long. Ordering in November gives you the full choice of items and time to fix anything on the proof. Ask us for the delivery date when you request your quote.
