Why treat your clientele at Christmas?
It’s not all about the company gatherings (and the inevitable office party antics), Christmas is prime time to strengthen your relationships with clients. In fact, studies show that 82% of recipients mentioned a more favourable perception of that brand after receiving a gift from them.
But corporate Christmas gifts aren’t just a nice gesture, they’re a strategic move that taps into the festive spirit. People are more receptive during Christmas, and capitalising on that goodwill can keep your brand front of mind as the new year kicks off.
Gifting your clients something memorable sets you apart, and it’s far more than a token of thanks—it’s a subtle reminder of the value you bring. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, but a well-chosen item creates a lasting impression that sticks long after the tree’s come down.
10 Corporate Christmas gifts
Still searching for the perfect corporate Christmas gift that’s both thoughtful and won’t break the bank? We’ve shortlisted 10 branded items for our seasonal range to cater to various client relationships.
1. Branded Christmas tree decoration
A branded tree decoration is the perfect way to sneak into your customers’ December traditions. Hanging proudly on the tree, your logo will get its own prime spot among the tinsel and fairy lights, keeping you front of mind throughout the season (and the next).
Personalise it with festive colours or go for something classy and understated—it’s up to you. Either way, you’ll be part of their Christmas for years to come. After all, nothing says “we appreciate you” quite like becoming part of their Xmas décor.
2. Branded thermal socks
Christmas isn’t Christmas without receiving the obligatory pair of socks. But these aren’t your run-of-the-mill socks – branded thermal socks are the gift your customers will genuinely appreciate. Perfect for keeping feet toasty during chilly winter mornings or when lounging around in festive PJs.
And with your logo stitched right there, your brand’s in for some serious screen time when the Christmas telly marathon begins. It’s a practical, feel-good gift that the recipients will actually use.
3. Branded advent calendar
No matter how old you are, who doesn’t love having a chocolate advent calendar? This little box of festive joy keeps your brand in mind every morning as your customers open a door to a sweet treat. It’s a nostalgic way to countdown to Christmas with your logo subtly reminding them who’s keeping the season sweet. You can customise the design to make sure you’re the ones that add a bit of daily magic to their December routines.
4. Branded Prosecco
Christmas and fizz – you can’t really go wrong, can you? A branded bottle of Prosecco allows your customers to indirectly raise a glass to your brand as they pop open some festive fizz on Christmas morning. Mini bottles are perfect for party favours or hampers, while standard bottles make a more generous gift.
Personalise the label with your brand, and your customers will think of you during every celebratory sip. Whether it’s toasting the turkey or easing into the board game battles afterward, this bubbly gesture will keep your brand top of mind during all the festive fun.
5. Branded candle
Christmas is the season of cosy nights in, and nothing says ‘cosy’ like a flickering candle. A branded candle is the perfect way to make sure your customers think of you as they relax by the tree with a festive tipple in hand. Your logo, elegantly placed on the vessel, will sneak into their evening rituals, whether they're wrapping presents or unwinding with a mulled wine in hand. Because let’s be honest, what’s Christmas without a candle to set the mood amid all the holiday madness? It’s the kind of gift that turns your brand into a warm, glowing presence.
6. Custom handwarmer
When it’s freezing outside, a custom handwarmer is the little lifesaver your customers never knew they needed. Ideal for those brisk Christmas market strolls or standing around at outdoor carol services, this handy (pun intended) gift will keep them warm and indirectly thanking your brand.
Personalise it with your logo and give your customers a reason to love you every time they need a quick warm-up. It’s a harmonious mix of thoughtful and practical – a small gesture that’ll leave a big impression during the chilly season.
7. Branded desk memo calendar
New year, new chance to get organised, right? A branded desk memo calendar is a great way to help your customers start the year off right while keeping your brand front and centre. Sitting on their desk, this little calendar will be their go-to for planning out the week – and with five days a week spent there, your logo will get plenty of attention.
Customise it with your branding and a sleek design, and you’ll make sure your business is in their sights as they power through meetings, deadlines and everything in between.
8. Branded Christmas mug
A Christmas mug – especially a well-designed one – isn’t just for one year. It’ll be brought out every festive season, year after year. Slap on a cheeky festive message and your logo, and suddenly you’ve got a gift that’s so much better than the standard Christmas card (and far less wasteful).
Whether it’s holding a morning cuppa or some mulled wine after hours, your brand will be a part of their holiday rituals. It’s practical, long-lasting, and guaranteed to get used every year when the decorations come out.
9. Branded luxe pen
When it comes to treating your regular, well-established clients, a luxe branded pen is the way to go. This isn’t some flimsy biro that’ll end up in a drawer – think sleek, silver accents and a weight that feels just right in the hand. It’s the kind of pen they’ll use for signing contracts, not scribbling on Post-it notes.
Engrave it with your logo, and it becomes a subtle yet classy reminder of your working relationship. A corporate Christmas gift that shows they’re truly appreciated while still being something they’ll cherish long after the festive season fades.
10. Branded Santa stress ball
The holidays may be merry, but realistically, they can be uber-stressful too. This cute branded Santa stress ball is a fun and functional gift that helps your customers squeeze away any festive tension. From dealing with the Christmas shopping stress to work deadlines, a stress ball is a playful reminder that your brand is there for them in the thick of it. It’s the perfect way to give your customers a break!
Corporate Christmas gifts strengthen customer bonds
Corporate Christmas gifts aren’t just about ticking a box—they’re a chance to remind your customers why they stick with you. From festive mugs that get pulled out year after year to pens that add a touch of class to their desk, these gifts keep your brand in the spotlight long after the tree’s been taken down. Forget the standard business Christmas card; give them something they’ll actually use (and won’t toss in the bin).
