Top 10 Promotional Holiday Gifts for 2016

Maintaining your internal and external relationships is among your key responsibilities as a business owner. For this reason, the holiday season is the best time to share good tidings with the people you’ve worked with.

The holidays give businesses and organizations the best time to thank valued customers, employees, and volunteers for working with them this past year. This is when you can show gratitude as a valued business by giving promotional holiday gifts to all your supporters.

Say Thank You With Promotional Christmas Gifts

Providing promotional holiday gifts for employees and patrons is a great way to express appreciation for the past year.

Here are the top ten corporate holiday gifts for 2016:

1. Electronics

The iPhone 7 will be the hot gift for 2016. But if you’re looking for other practical options that can inspire holiday cheer, you can also offer the following:

Mobile power banks
Wireless Bluetooth headphones
Chargers
Mobile camera lenses for smartphones

Reward employees with tech accessory gifts useful in the office and at home. These gifts are not just gadgets; they're tools that enrich daily life, making every moment an opportunity to connect, create, and explore.

Having these electronic gadgets as giveaways is a great way to inspire morale and celebrate the holiday spirit with your team.

2. Epicurean Gifts

For patrons who find joy in the culinary arts, sending them personalized Epicurean gifts is a delightful treat.

Personalized kitchen gifts will be used daily, keeping your brand visible for years to come. Give the gift of a customized cutting board, long-lasting herb scissors, or a glass serving bottle.

These gifts can become a daily marker of your company’s appreciation, transforming routine kitchen tasks into a reminder of your presence as a trusted brand.

3. Drinkware

Coffee mugs, tumblers, and vacuum-insulated water bottles are popular choices for promotional holiday gifts. You can print your company logo on these mugs to give your employees a practical holiday souvenir.

As these items travel with your recipients from home to the office and beyond, your organization becomes a part of their morning or evening routines. Any extra mugs you’ve ordered can also be used as holiday promotional items you can give during business meetings or conferences.

Buying Tip: Ordering online is a convenient way to gather these gifts without going to an on-site retail store. Make sure you only buy from trusted suppliers and stores!

4. Gift Baskets

Food is a universal language of love and appreciation, making it a perfect holiday gift. However, the true art lies in combining delightful treats with lasting impressions.

Giving gift baskets filled with food and chocolate can seem appealing, but their promotional value disappears once the food is enjoyed and the wrapping is thrown out. Instead, create a holiday gift basket with a reusable promotional item, like a reusable desktop pen holder, coloring books for kids, or reusable tumblers.

These items are much easier to print your logo on and will last much longer than the gifts wrapped with them.

5. Desktop Accessories

Your organization’s name will stay visible for years when you gift them a long-lasting desktop accessory.

Recipients will enjoy practical office essentials like a bamboo desktop phone holder or a bamboo perpetual calendar. Besides being functional, these are evergreen products that can be used and reused for years.

6. Health and Relaxation Goodies

In today's fast-paced world, providing a moment of relaxation is a precious gift, especially for your hard-working employees.

Give employees and customers the gift of relaxation by sending an essential oil diffuser gift set, a recycled fleece blanket, or a beautiful scented soy candle. By gifting them thoughtful presents as promotional holiday gifts, you're offering an experience of care that resonates deeply in today's busy world.

7. Branded Apparel

Employees and customers will enjoy wearing fashionable, eco-friendly apparel like recycled quilted vests during cooler months.

These promotional holiday gifts can turn them into walking billboards for your organization. When made with the right materials, people wearing these shirts, hoodies, or even hats can spread your brand’s visibility all year round.

8. Reusable Bags

Durable, reusable bags are the ideal holiday gift for retailers.

Printed reusable bags are great promotional holiday gifts for your supporters. They’re great for carrying small items to work or a picnic, making them versatile for all occasions.

Pack customers’ purchases in a reusable bag, or consider offering them a recycled 6-pack cooler. While these gifts might seem ordinary, they have plenty of uses in your supporters’ daily lives.

9. Seed-Growing Kits

What better way to spread the holiday message than by giving your employees and customers the gift of sustainability through plant-growing kits? These gifts are experiences wrapped in the promise of new beginnings, echoing your brand's commitment to growth and sustainability.

Recipients can grow their carpet of snow, cinnamon basil, and peppermint stick zinnia with a recycled countertop and logoed herb grow kit. Some eco-friendly brands also integrate seed-growing kits into other products like plantable business cards to further promote sustainability.

10. Holiday Cards

Having tailor-made messages sent to your supporters is a sustainable gesture of goodwill, connecting hearts and minds in the spirit of the holiday season.

If there’s no room in the budget to buy more costly promotional holiday gifts, express your gratitude with an eco-friendly card that can be planted, reused, or recycled. Each card leaves a lasting impression of your brand's values and your sincere appreciation.
