About 57% of companies include their logo on corporate gifts.

3. Wellness Packages

With a growing focus on wellbeing, wellness packages including items like essential oils, candles, and stress-relief gadgets can be a hit. They show you care about the recipient’s health and happiness.

4. Eco-Friendly Gifts

Sustainable and Christmas gifts are increasingly popular. Consider items made from recycled materials or those that promote a greener lifestyle. Not only do they reflect well on your company’s values, but they also resonate well with eco-conscious recipients.

Making It Personal

Personalisation can take your corporate gift to the next level. Here’s how to add that extra touch:

Customisation Options

  • Personalised Messages: Always include a thoughtful, personalised gift message. This makes the recipient feel valued and recognised.
  • Company Logo: Integrate your company logo in a tasteful manner. Whether it’s embossed on a leather product or subtly printed on packaging, it should enhance rather than overshadow the gift.
  • Recipient’s Name: Personalised items such as engraved pens, embroidered towels, or custom nameplates add a special touch that generic gifts lack.

Timing Is Everything

When it comes to corporate gifting, timing can make all the difference. Here are some occasions to consider:

Special Occasions & Holidays

Holidays are prime time for corporate gifting. Plan ahead to ensure your gifts arrive in time for the festivities.

Company Milestones

Celebrate company anniversaries, product launches, or major achievements with a gift that marks the occasion.

Personal Milestones

Recognising personal milestones such as birthdays, promotions, or work anniversaries shows you care about your employees and clients on an individual level.
