Our story.
For more than 60 years we’ve been supporting our customers with the best promotional products.
By giving tailored advice and reliable service we contribute to their brand experience and success. Quality gifts that are seen and used every day. That’s what we call powerful advertising!
We’ve been in the industry for so long, that we know what works.
Our customers need flexibility and reliable quality. That’s why we test our products and print them at our own locations, with dedication and craftsmanship. That’s how we help our customers to build their brand experience.
Through the years different brands joined the family. In 2009 we changed our name to Favorite Gifts. Now our headquarters is in Tiel, the Netherlands. More than 450 people are employed at Favorite Gifts.
At Favorite Gifts we have our own printing facilities
Our production location is in Bolesławiec, Poland.
Adri van Helden founded of the company.
In 1965 Adri van Helden founded the company Van Helden Relatiegeschenken.
After receiving valuable advice about the increased popularity of the ballpen, he started selling printed ballpens in the evening as a door-to-door salesman. The part time job turned out to be a tremendous success. Thanks to entrepreneurship and family support it grew into an international company.
What started with the sale of branded ballpoint pens, is now an international company with branches in seven countries. Ballpoint pens are still an important product in our range, but today we deliver more than 5,000 unique products directly from stock.
