Merryvent makes branded merchandise advent calendars with mini gifts such as socks, pins, stickers, small plush and treats, from 100 pcs. Plush comes from our own workshop in Biała Podlaska, Poland; other items from partner factories in Poland/EU and Asia. Custom merch calendars are best planned for season 2027, ordered January–August 2027.
Branded merchandise with a longer shelf life
Promotional items handed out together are easily set aside. The same items spread across 24 doors are opened one by one over December. A branded merchandise advent calendar gives each item its own moment and gives your brand 24 points of contact.
The format suits teams, communities, customer loyalty programmes and employer branding.
Contents for the doors
Contents, sizes and branding are agreed in your proposal.

Timing: why merch calendars need an early start
A merch calendar consists of several components, each with its own production time, and all of them have to come together in one box before 1 December. For this reason custom merch advent calendars are recommended for season 2027, ordered January–August 2027, with early-bird terms for orders confirmed by 31 March 2027. Items produced in Asia also require several weeks of sea freight.
For Christmas 2026 we confirm what can still be assembled from available items. Often the better option is a gift box with logo (order by about 1 December) or a teddy with an embroidered logo (from 50 pcs).
A custom mascot behind the last door
Our sister brand MascotiQ operates a plush and mascot workshop in Biała Podlaska, Poland, so your calendar can end with your own plush mascot instead of a generic toy. A custom mascot requires a sample and a production run, so it is not possible for Christmas 2026; it can be planned for New Year 2027 events or for season 2027. Custom plush mascots start from 300 pcs.
