Gifting: Last-minute doesn’t have to feel last-ditch

Let’s be honest, finding gifts for family and friends without getting into a last-minute frenzy is hard enough. But finding your clients, partners or a whole team gifts that don’t scream ‘I left it too late’ is even trickier.

Thankfully, there are plenty of corporate gift options that feel thoughtful, considered and personal, even when they’ve found their way to the very bottom of your to-do list. 

Here are a few ways to make sure your last-minute corporate gifts still raise a smile:

Customizable gifts feel far more considered

The extra care and consideration that goes into a customized gift immediately feels more thoughtful. So why not send something engraved with your logo (or even better, theirs)? Include a handwritten note with your gift, or choose colorways that match your client’s brand or your team’s identity – it all adds up to a more personal experience.

That little extra effort goes a long way. And it speaks volumes about your own brand. You’re no longer just another company sending holiday gifts. You’re the one who takes time to think about each and every client, partner or team member in turn.

Keeping it practical keeps it meaningful

Nobody wants a desk cluttered with unwanted gifts or token gestures. When you send a gift you know will be useful, you’re showing empathy and respect to the recipient. 

Here are some great options for customizable gifts that won’t wind up in the trash:

• Water Bottles: An everyday gift that works just as well for a client meeting as it does for a team welcome pack. 
• Notepads: Useful, easy to reach for and a simple option when you’re gifting to a bigger group.
• Notebooks and Journals: A sleek, professional-looking Notebook is more than a handy planning essential – it’s your client or team’s everyday business partner. 
• Twist Pens: Perfectly weighted, satisfying, and a joy to write with. One stationery gift they’ll want to hang on to.

Personal touches show even more gratitude

Just because you left it late, doesn’t mean you can’t make it personal. There are plenty of ways to make a last-minute gift leave a lasting impression.

• Handwritten notes: A little extra effort can make a big difference. Even a short “thank you” on a beautifully designed Greeting Card goes a long way.
• Custom packaging: Elevate the unboxing with branded Stickers, festive wrapping, or custom tissue paper.
• Experience coupons: Why not offer something straight from your company – like a discounted product or service – then bring it to life on a custom Postcard?
• Extra surprises: Include a QR code and you can send your recipient anywhere you can dream up – a personalized video, bespoke playlist, a team thank-you message or something made especially for them..
