A box of chocolates as a thank-you gift, a notebook for a training session or a water bottle for on the go: small personalised corporate gifts are suitable for many different occasions.
But how do you choose a gift that will truly be appreciated?
Above all, think about the recipient. What do they like, what could they use and what kind of gift would suit the occasion?
Looking for gift ideas for clients, colleagues or event attendees? Below, we’ve gathered inspiration across five different themes.
1. Sports-themed corporate gifts
For on the go and after the finish line
Sports-themed corporate gifts are ideal for an active target audience. Think of a cycling-to-work campaign, a sports day or a running event with colleagues. From a personalised water bottle to a sports towel or a handy accessory for on the go: above all, choose something the recipient can continue to use long after the event.
2. Edible corporate gifts
A tasty way to say thank you
Who doesn't love receiving something tasty? A box of chocolates for a client, sweets to celebrate a successful project or a little treat for the team.
Edible corporate gifts are suitable for all kinds of occasions and don't have to be complicated. With packaging that reflects your brand identity or a short, personal message, you can turn a simple treat into a gift that perfectly represents your company.
3. Branded drinkware
From the first coffee to the last meeting
A stylish water bottle is one thing, but it also needs to be practical. Does it fit in a bike bottle holder? Does the cup keep your coffee warm during your commute? And can you carry everything in your bag without any leaks? Small details that make a big difference when choosing the right drinkware.
4. Small office gifts
A permanent spot on the desk
In the office, it's often the little things that make a difference. A pen that writes smoothly, a notebook that stays open easily or a desk accessory that's genuinely useful. Choose something that fits into the recipient's working day rather than ending up forgotten in a drawer.
5. Textiles
To take along and wear
Personalised textiles are about more than just adding your logo. The colour, material and placement of your design all influence the final result. That's why it's important to choose a combination that looks good and that people will actually enjoy using or wearing.
Which corporate gift fits your plans?
These five questions will help you narrow down your selection:
- Who is it for? Think about the recipient's daily activities and interests.
- Why are you giving it? A first introduction calls for a different message than a personal thank-you.
- What is your total budget? Don't forget to include personalisation, packaging and delivery costs.
- How will you hand it over? At a trade fair, in person or by post?
- How many items do you need, and by when?
This information helps you select realistic options.
Choosing multiple items?
Give them a common purpose. A notebook and pen are ideal for a training session, while a water bottle and towel are perfect for a sporting event. That way, the items come together as a cohesive gift set.
