I have a supplier that I have used for many years. Their niche in the imprinted item industry is small quantity items usually under $3.00-4.00.  I can get as few as 12 from them.  See their online catalog at www.elramcorp.com   Any prices you see are list and I can get you the price on the highest quantity listed for 12 pieces.  They are a great company and helpful to me when a client needs gifts for speakers at a conference or a stock of gifts for high profile visitors.  Have a great day!  M
