It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas
To ensure you get the corporate Christmas gifts you want for your prospects, customers, employees, shows, and events, it’s important to start the corporate gift planning as soon as possible, since supply chain snags, availability, and pricing can all prove challenging as you compete with all of the other companies who are doing the same.

This list is just the start — so use it as inspiration, and let us know what you’re hoping to achieve this holiday season with customer appreciation gifts. We can help you find the items that make the difference in your relationships.

A Time for Pampering
In corporate gifting, there are endless ways to show your recipients that you care, and helpful, handy items always hit the mark.
Jewelry Case: This amenities case can hold cosmetics, jewelry, or lotions. Crafted with a quilted satin exterior and matching striped interior, it’s a classic pouch that fits easily into a suitcase and protects important possessions. It organizes with a gusseted zip pocket for larger items, six clear divided pockets for easy sorting, and two brush loops on top. It also has a convenient hook to keep everything accessible on a door or closet. The case is a customer appreciation gift that gives every time they travel, and they’ll think of you in whatever locale they open it up!
Toiletry Bag: They can also use this sturdy travel bag for their essentials. Since other cosmetic and toiletry bags can wear out over time, it’s great to have a refresh they can stock with items for their trip. Especially useful for events and conferences, it’s a corporate gift idea that’s both pretty and practical, with zippered spots to keep things neat and organized. People always need a well-built bag to streamline their stuff, whether it’s an overnight trip or a long journey.
Bringing Health and Wellness
It’s especially important to take care of our health around the holidays. Here are some corporate Christmas gifts that make it easier.
Soft Touch Round Lip Balm: Winter is the season of chapped lips, so giftees will be grateful for a present like this lip moisturizer. Small enough to stow in a pocket or purse, it’s an everyday reminder of your kindness, and a much needed balm for their lips.
Serene House Metal Diffuser: Elegant and beautiful, this diffuser is a welcome addition to any space, whether it’s an office or home. It generates a light, pleasant scent to create a welcoming environment and keep your giftee energized. Logos are applied by transfer to the base, so they’re vibrant and padded. This is not your average customer appreciation gift, so be prepared for a not-so-average positive response!
Make It Fun and Useful
At tradeshows and events, people gravitate to the practical and innovative. Check out these cool corporate Christmas gifts!
Dog Toy: This toss and chew dog disc is a hit with dog owners because it’s a hit with dogs. Crafted with sturdy cloth and rope, it gives pups something strong to grip without the effects of chemicals or plastic. It’s grippy even when wet, and perfectly designed for a feisty tug-of-war. These corporate gifting promo items get snapped up on trade show floors and events, and are sure to please customers and other recipients too.
Charger With Multiple Plugs: Engineered to make travel a breeze, this charger with four plugs is a power station that will keep you charged up while on the go. It’s compatible with Apple® 8-Pin, Micro USB and Type-C Devices. Users can simply plug the cable into a powered USB port and then into their device or smartphone; it can charge several devices at the same time. These are often the talk of the trade show, a gift as utilitarian as it is just plain cool.
Give Delicious Thanks
Food is always a great idea, especially when it’s something special that reflects your brand. In the realm of corporate gift ideas, gastronomy is a great way to show gratitude.
Sampler: For a big thank you at the end of the year, you can wow your customers with something delicious! This Snackable Sampler has all the ingredients for a festive time, including a sustainable bamboo cutting board firebranded with your imprint. It also features a generous gourmet charcuterie with high-quality cheeses, nuts, sausage, crackers, and a meat and cheese cleaver. It serves 14-18, but the party starts again with each use. Treat them right!
Pretzels: These chocolate-covered pretzels will satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth. Tied up with a simple ribbon featuring your logo, this gift sends a sweet message with milk chocolate, sprinkles, and yogurt-covered pretzels. They’re the perfect combo of salty and sweet, a customer appreciation gift appreciated by everyone on your list.
