Business Gifts for Christmas. A Road to Originality
September 21, 2024
Picking business gifts at the end of the year is an integral part of running a company. And for a good reason. Businesses, both large and small, rely on the success of their employees, and appreciating them is an important step to securing business success, culture, and relationships. Finding the right business gift requires a bit of effort and creativity. What kind of a business gift should you pick? What are the current trends? And what should you do to make business gifting more impressive and original? Learn about the opportunities our precious garden of silver flowers offers in terms of obtaining unique business gifts.
6 steps to picking Christmas gifts for your employees
1. Set a budget
It’s a good idea to determine the precise sum or at least have a rough idea of how much the gift for each employee should cost. If you know your budget, you can get the best business gifts you can afford. Knowing whether you can afford to spend 50 EUR or 500 EUR allows you to eliminate unsuitable options and makes the choosing process easier.
2. Choose a theme
Consider what you’d like to communicate with your business gifts this year, and whether or not they make for suitable Christmas presents. A gift for the first business anniversary isn’t the same thing as Christmas gifts for employees. You can also pick a special theme for this year’s business Christmas gifts, and change it every year. The themes can be related to the existence of your business, outside events, or any values which are important to your company. Adapt your business gifts to your theme.
3. Consider your employees’ taste and needs
While you may have another goal in mind, a good business gift should always reflect the taste of your employees. Give some thought to their lifestyle, interests, and needs. Business gifts should be in line with, or at the very least not contradict them.
4. Impression and personal message
Business gifts for Christmas should make an impression, ideally a lasting one. They also should convey a meaningful personal message. Communicate this message by including a hand-written note for each employee or choose another way of going about this. Employee gifts are about appreciation, acknowledgement, and making your employees feel like a part of a family. You’ll be hard-pressed to evoke this feeling without including a personal touch.
5. Strive for originality
Pick something your audience doesn’t expect. Which unique way do you choose to show your acknowledgement during the holiday season? Exercise your creativity. Don’t hesitate to think outside the box, try something new, and purchase business gifts that make an impression. To pull this off, you need to do something else besides what so many businesses have done before you.
6. Further inspiration
In "Business gifts for partners who matter" we listed five possible ways of choosing gifts for your high-level business partners (The gift’s appeal and the idea behind it, Familiarisation and personal approach, Price and quality crafted gifts, Business ethics and foreign partners, Grace, elegance, and timelessness). Within limits, this strategy also applies to choosing Christmas gifts for employees.
Business gifts for Christmas today
Mezi často používáné současné dárky zaměstnancům patří: Nowadays, popular business gifts for Christmas include:
1. Business gift packages and baskets
Business gift packages or baskets can be personalised for your employees and supplemented with various products. Diversity increases the likelihood that at least some part of the package will be appreciated. Besides various kinds of food, beverages, and cosmetics, a gift basket can contain pretty much anything that can be gifted, contributing to the continuing popularity of this type of gift. However, these relative advantages can be drawbacks as well. Some might call gift baskets too generic and impersonal. There are many companies to approach if you’re interested in gifting Christmas gift packages to your employees.
2. Experience gifts
Gifting concert, sports game, and theatre tickets or tickets to see any other type of sports, cultural, or relaxing performance is another way for businesses to show how much they appreciate their employees.
3. Personalised products
Personalisation is still in. You can have personalised socks, glasses, trays, or stationery. If some thought is given to the product and its personalisation, the gift can even be funny. If you’re interested in ordering personalised socks, for example, you can order them from Ponožkátor.
4. Gift vouchers
Gift vouchers are simple and a practical choice as a business gift. You can choose gift cards for the purchase of certain products or services—for example a restaurant, wellness, or café gift card. Pretty much all businesses sell gift cards you can use as gifts for your employees.
5. Charity gifts
Contributing money or any other value to a charity on behalf of employees is a meaningful way of showing appreciation during the holiday season, especially if the gift comes from the top management. Gifting helps both parties and makes the employee feel good for having contributed to a worthwhile cause.
6. Christmas bonus for employees
Some might view a monetary or material bonus as a boring, uninspired way to celebrate Christmas. But from the perspective of employees, it can help with purchasing gifts for loved ones and make holidays more festive. The bonus doesn’t need to come in the form of money (it can be more vacation time, free lunches over the course of the upcoming year, or paid vacation from Christmas to the New Year’s).
7. Unique, unusual business gifts
Some businesses are on the lookout for unique employee gifts. These can be tailor-made. Or perhaps you’ll manage to find a truly unique product that’s in line with your business values and conforms to demands placed on business gifts.
Precious GIYOU garden for unique business gifts
A story of Czech uniqueness and originality
The story of our precious garden began with two people - a man and a woman, inspired by the garden surrounding their historic home. They saw the flowers they were creating as an expression of beauty, life, human endeavour, and a wish to provide others with unprecedented experiences.
Almost immediately, the jewellery flowers’ beauty, originality, and masterful craftsmanship earned them appreciation from celebrities and the media. Extraordinary commissions soon followed (e.g. the world-unique bouquet of 118 flowers, made of pure gold). The founders’ dream blossomed into a business which would go on to sell flowers all over the world.
The world’s first silver and golden garden was born. Learn more about the GIYOU story and what makes the flowers attractive.
