Are coasters a good welcome gift for Airbnb guests?

Yes — they are cheap in bulk, genuinely useful, unbreakable and flat to post or stock. Guests use them during the stay and often take one home, which extends your brand beyond the booking.

How many coasters should I order for my Airbnb?

Order one or two per expected guest stay per month, then add a buffer. A busy two-bedroom let doing 10 bookings a month might order 30 to 50 coasters to start, topping up quarterly.

Can I put my Airbnb logo or property name on the coasters?

Yes. We print full-colour logos, property names or local designs onto 5mm cork coasters. Supply your artwork and we hold it on file for fast reorders.

How much do branded coasters cost in bulk for Airbnb hosts?

For smaller host runs of around 50 coasters, trade pricing is about £2.50 each — four in a gift box works out to roughly £13 per boxed gift. At 250+ quantities the unit price drops to £1.10–£1.40. Many hosts order 50 or more and give them as guest favours.

Host guide

Airbnb welcome gifts that guests actually keep

The best welcome gift is not the most expensive one — it is the one a guest picks up on the first night and takes home on the last. A cork coaster printed with your property name, a local landmark, or a warm welcome message costs under £1.50 in bulk and does more for your reviews than a bottle of wine ever will.

Guests actually use them

A coaster on the coffee table or bedside gets picked up on day one. Unlike a flyer or a leaflet, it is not bin-bound — it sits beside a cup of tea all stay.

A five-star talking point

A small, well-designed coaster with a local scene or a warm welcome message is the kind of detail guests mention in reviews. It costs pennies but reads as thoughtful.

Guests take them home

Unlike the welcome wine or chocolates (consumed and forgotten), a coaster travels home in hand luggage. Every one that leaves is a tiny piece of your brand in someone’s house.

A real host story: Leah’s Airbnbs

Leah runs short-let properties in Cornwall. She ordered 54 branded cork coasters from us at a special trade price of £2.50 each — enough to give a couple to each guest stay across many bookings. Her guests started picking them up and taking them home as a souvenir of their trip.

She came back and bought 13 of our Kraft gift boxes as well, putting four coasters in each one. At £2.50 a coaster that works out to £10 of product per box — a boxed gift set costing her around £13 in total, which is better value than our standard £19.99 birthday bundle. So each arriving guest finds a little boxed set of four coasters waiting on the table alongside the welcome note.

The feedback was immediate — a five-star review mentioning the “lovely little coaster gift” within the first week. Total outlay per guest: about £13 for a boxed set of four. Total impact on reviews and repeat bookings: a lot more than that.

What to put on the coaster

Three directions that work for short-let hosts:

Your property name or logo — brand the stay, so guests remember where they slept.
A local landmark or Cornish scene — guests take home a piece of the place, not just a branded advert.
A simple welcome message — "Welcome to [property]" with a small illustration. Warm, cheap, and personal.

How many to order

Work it out from your booking volume. A two-bedroom let doing ten bookings a month should order 30–50 coasters to start — one or two per guest stay, plus a buffer for breakages and take-homes. Top up quarterly. For boxed gift sets, order one per booking and keep a stock of 13 boxes (a baker’s dozen, like Leah) so you never run out mid-month.

The spec that lasts in a rental

5mm cork — thick enough to feel quality, non-slip on glass and wood tables.
Round corners — square corners chip after a month of guest use.
Flatbed UV print — survives a wet wipe with kitchen spray without fading.
Full colour from your artwork or logo, with a digital proof before we print.
Boxed in 50s for easy stock counts between changeovers.

Pricing for Airbnb hosts

Trade pricing for smaller host runs starts at around £2.50 per coaster at 50-unit quantities — like Leah’s order of 54. Put four in a Kraft gift box and you have a boxed welcome gift costing around £13, which beats our standard £19.99 birthday bundle on unit cost. At 250+ coasters the unit price drops further to roughly £1.10 to £1.40 each with full-colour print and free artwork setup.

For hosts who want just one or two designs without a bulk order, our birthday gift boxes are £14.99 for a single-coaster gift set and £19.99 for a four-coaster fill-the-box bundle, perfect for leaving one per booking.

Every order is made to order in our Cornwall studio and dispatched the next working day by Royal Mail Tracked 48.
