How can we ensure that our corporate gifting is both meaningful and sustainable in 2021?

What is corporate gifting?

Corporate gifting is a concept that all different caliber companies use as a sign of attentiveness and appreciation. The recipients of these gifts are usually employees, clients, and third parties. The senders are usually businesses large or small and even business individuals.

Corporate gifts are meant to show gratefulness and positivity towards someone’s work or business relationship. These gifts are not only appropriate for the festive season and national holidays, but they are also a great way of celebrating all-year-round team achievements and progress and adding support and kindness to challenging times. Many companies all over the world chose to send gifts to their furloughed and working employees during COVID-19 to show their care and solidarity. This initiative was unquestionably a valuable, meaningful gesture that united people and their companies and kept them at the core of the business regardless of good or less favorable times.

Personal vs Impersonal

Sometimes, determining how personal a gift should be is a massive part of the planning when it comes to corporate gifts. Is it too personal? Or should it be more personal? No one would want people to think the effort wasn’t dedicated to choosing a generous gift. On the other side, it’s also not desirable that people would think you wrongly assumed what they like. However, choosing something that means enough and sends the right message is not very tough. We have done the research for you and based on your company and information, we can make sure you get the right amount of personal and impersonal to treat your gift recipients to a loving yet appropriate gift.

Special Gift Ideas

Taking into consideration the challenges we are all facing now, with people spending most of their time inside, the most wonderful gifts include…pampering! Just the right amount of coconut bath cream running next to a sense-releasing, aromatic candle, along with a calming “high-tea” and a good book - that’s the dreamy gift that can never go wrong. Add a special thematic of either woody, forest fruits, or ocean vibes and you can change someone’s stressful day into a well-deserved relaxing escape. Gifts should carry a positive meaning behind them and if you have the chance to remind people to focus on their well-being and happiness, then take the chance and make someone’s day great!

Our gifting service allows businesses to tailor their gifts to the individual preferences of their recipients, from choosing scents and flavors to adding something special that speaks to their company's mission. With thoughtfully selected presents, businesses can easily show their appreciation and highlight the significance of each individual's contribution.
