Some managers say that corporate gifting is just an unnecessary expense. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s proven to boost relationships with clients and employees at a relatively low cost.

In this overview, we cover the best practices for sending branded corporate gifts for customers, partners, and employees and how to make them meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable.

The Ultimate Guide to Corporate Gifting & Workplace Snacks 2025

Corporate Gifting for Employees

Keeping staff happy and healthy is not just an HR issue - it’s good business. Happy employees are productive employees.

Whether you’d like to reward your team with gift hampers or provide healthy snacks during meetings, our flexible, tailor-made solutions can help.

According to MyShortlister.com, the number of companies providing free office snacks is steadily rising. While some stick to coffee and biscuits, Millennials and Gen Y employees are more health-conscious and prefer nutritious options. Did you know that, according to HFCU, the most popular office snack is bananas.

Beyond snacks, surprise your team with gift hampers and fruit baskets tailored to every dietary need - vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, or lactose-free. Each hamper can be branded with your logo, ribbon, and a personalised message - all delivered anywhere in the UK.

Sensitive Corporate Gifting: Taking Care of Allergies and Intolerances

Many hamper providers still offer one-size-fits-all solutions, but that doesn’t work in 2025.

According to Mintel (2022), around 26% of UK households avoid dairy products and shop for alternatives. Moreover, customers on a free-from diet are more likely to buy sustainable products.

Sending a client a food hamper full of items they can’t eat can backfire. Understanding your customers’ dietary needs and preferences is a powerful business strategy that shows genuine care.

The Importance of Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifting is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to build lasting relationships, reward employees, and strengthen your brand.

Benefits of Corporate Gifting

  • Builds Relationships: Thoughtful, customised gifts strengthen bonds with clients and employees.
  • Improves Morale: Companies that show recognition see lower voluntary turnover (Harvard Business Review).
  • Promotes Brand Loyalty: Keeps your brand visible and positively associated.

Branded Corporate Gifts: Adding a Personal Touch

Branded gifts go beyond a simple gesture - they are a strategic marketing tool. Trying to re-engage a client? A personal, branded gift can make all the difference.

With our custom gift options, you can add your logo, colours, or personalised card to create memorable experiences. We curate boxes filled with tasty and healthy snacks and tailor them to suit any dietary preferences.

Our Branded Gift Options

  • Branded Gift Boxes: Tailored to your team’s or clients’ needs, with optional alcohol-free and allergen-friendly selections.
  • Branded Christmas Hampers: Ideal for festive gifting - choose the contents or create unique boxes per client.
  • Branded Snack Boxes: Regular deliveries of nutritious snacks to offices or remote teams.

Workplace Snacks: Fuelling Productivity

According to Peapod, 67% of employees say they’re happier when their employer provides snacks. Gartner Group adds that 20% of engagement is tied to employees feeling that their company cares about them.

At The Goodness Project, we make it easy to keep your team energised, healthy, and focused throughout the day with regular snack or fruit deliveries to your office.

Benefits of Healthy Office Snacks

  • Boosts Productivity: Keeps your team energised and motivated.
  • Supports Wellbeing: Encourages balanced eating habits.
  • Reduces Sugar Cravings: Nutritious alternatives to sugary treats.

Choosing the Perfect Corporate Gift

How to Select Meaningful and Personalised Gifts

Today’s employees and clients value personalisation. They want to feel seen and appreciated, not treated as one of many.

  1. Understand the Recipient: Record preferences, allergies, and hobbies in your CRM (following GDPR) so the team can act on them.
  2. Align with Your Values: Choose gifts that reflect your brand - e.g., eco-friendly hampers or locally sourced products.
  3. Add a Personal Touch: Handwritten notes, name tags, or favourite brands make gifts memorable.
  4. Make It Useful: Edible gifts and self-care boxes are appreciated and rarely wasted.
  5. Offer Experiences: Include wellness vouchers, self-care kits, or e-gift cards to elevate hampers.

Eco-Friendly and Socially Responsible Gifting

Sustainability matters more than ever. Customers and employees increasingly value environmentally conscious brands.

How to Create Sustainable Gift Packages

  • Sustainable Materials: Look for bamboo, organic cotton, recycled paper, and recyclable packaging.
  • Support Local Artisans: Reduce your carbon footprint and support local talent.
  • Fair Trade Products: Ensure ethical sourcing and fair wages.
  • Charitable Elements: Consider gifts that include tree planting or donations.
  • Minimal Packaging: Choose biodegradable or recyclable options.

Integrating Snacks and Gifts into Company Culture

Healthy snacking can be more than a perk, it can be part of your workplace wellbeing strategy. If your company promotes wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion, snacks and gifting should reflect those values.

Steps to Implement a Snack & Gifting Culture

  • Identify Core Values: Align gifting with principles like wellbeing, equality, and sustainability.
  • Communicate Purpose: Explain the “why” behind your strategy; employees value transparency.
  • Encourage Participation: Gather feedback on favourite snacks and dietary needs.
  • Celebrate Diversity: Offer inclusive hampers: vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free, or alcohol-free.
  • Be Consistent: Apply the same approach across all teams to ensure inclusion.
