Best Corporate Gifts to Maximize ROI in 2023

Searching for a unique gift to give your favorite client or to show your employees how much you appreciate them? They’ll absolutely love any of these gifts that are trending this season:

Sustainable and eco-friendly gifts

Customers and clients want to do business with companies that care about the environment, and the employees take pride in working for environmentally conscious organizations. Sustainability can be beneficial to both the environment and business. Consider a Branded Reusable Coffee Mug or Water Bottle, Desk Coaster or Storage Bag.

Branded Charcuterie Board Loaded with Savory Meat & Cheese

Charcuterie, the art of arranging cured or specialty meat products and serving them on a platter or board is a trend that is here to stay. Delivering this delicious gift on a custom bamboo board will keep your company front and center throughout the year even after the savory meat and cheese is gone!

Go Gourmet

You can find virtually anything gourmet these days, from chocolates to cookies to cheeses. We even found gourmet popcorn that comes in exotic flavors like champagne, amaretto, or bourbon. Want to keep it healthy? Instead of your standard fruit basket, how about a collection of fresh, organic veggies with Hummus for dipping in a branded reuseable container?

Basket Themes Like a Good Idea

Gift baskets with a theme are both affordable and appreciated. Give a Pasta Dinner Basket with pasta, marinara sauce, olive oil, Italian spices, and a loaf of Italian bread. Why not brew up a Coffee Basket containing gourmet coffee, creamer, flavored syrups, a fun mug, and some biscotti for dipping? Or fill a popcorn bucket with a DVD, microwavable popcorn, candy, and soda for a Movie Night Basket. These gifts will keep the recipient remembering your company into the new year!

Memorable Moments

Instead of giving another forgettable tchotchke, give them an experience they’ll always remember. Some creative options might include Indoor Skydiving, Hot Air Ballooning, Zip Lining, an Escape Room, or a day at an Amusement or Waterpark.

Mean Well

Donating to a charity in the recipient’s name is a great way to show generosity and foster a culture of corporate giving in your organization. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, United Way, Habitat for Humanity, and Make-A-Wish are all worthy charities to which you can give.

Show Support Locally

Gift cards might seem ordinary, but they’re affordable and fun to use. Get creative and give a gift card to an event, a theater production, a concert, a popular restaurant, a car wash, a plant store, or a local business you’d like to support. After all, who doesn't like a company that supports local business?
