Christmas themed gifts
Never underestimate the power of a Christmas themed gift. We’re thinking fun and festive coasters with trad Christmas prints or a coffee stencil to add a little joy to those winter warmers. Personalised name stockings always go down a treat and the contents can be tailored to every customer or client – perfect for those you might know a little more about. Die-cut notebooks with a subtle Christmas tree, reindeer or stocking give instant gratification and can engender awareness for months afterwards.
Novelty Gifts
Say it with socks – but branded of course and keep it current with hashtags to encourage some social sharing! #christmas had 105,680,323 posts at the last count and #christmassocks 100,258.
Or bring out the big kid in your customer with a giant gummy bear with branded and personalised packaging.
And let’s not forget the promotional merchandise staple that Love Island catapulted to new heights – the personalised drink bottle or flask!
For the Tech lover
Yes, tech gifts are practical but practical doesn’t have to spell boring. Funky, custom-shaped USB’s, power banks to keep the Christmas selfies powered and Bluetooth speakers to blast out those Christmas crooners.
Green Gifts
Looking to show your eco credentials and compassion for the planet? Then how about a travel bag, vanity case or make-up bag crafted from tearproof, washable and ironable paper – yes, such a thing exists.
Or maybe a reusable shopping bag with a custom print or design or biodegradable, reusable travel coffee mug?
Whatever you decide to gift do make sure you have checked policies on the receipt of gifts. Depending on the sector some policies can be more stringent than others and it’s always good to abide by the ethics and guidance of individual companies to make sure you’re in compliance.
And one more golden rule. Personalisation is key! It doesn’t have to be on the gift itself but wherever you can, hand write a salutation, gift tag or personal message. The effects are felt long after you write it and show you’ve gone the extra mile. After all, how special do you feel when you receive a pre-printed Christmas card that you know has gone out to hundreds or thousands?
