It is difficult to find customs that are common to different cultures in different parts of the world. Giving Christmas gifts may be the most common. Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, the Three Wise Men, are excuses that we have all used at some point to acknowledge love or gratitude towards our loved ones. An act that brings as much love and gratitude to the one who gives as to the one who receives.

And companies that are preparing to buy and deliver promotional eco-friendly Christmas gifts to employees and customers are also affected by this atmosphere, and with the experience of those who work with promotional gifts, we offer you some tips to keep in mind.

Tips for choosing the best corporate gift for Christmas

Start at the beginning.

Make clear what the budget is for the purchase of sustainable merchandising, 

Sector field to which you want to direct the promotion of your company, that is, choose if you want an advertising article that stands out in health, sports, business, decorations, etc.

Do a little research on the final and optimal recipient to whom you want to direct your advertising marketing, such as the corporate article that best suits your staff, the public attending events, fairs and congresses, VIP clients, etc.

From here, choose the ultimate purpose of the item : whether you want it to be useful, practical, decorative, or to foster a family atmosphere during these holidays.

Taking these points into account it is easier to choose for example:

Gifts to decorate the home and office.

Summer and Christmas are times that we especially mark on the calendar as times we look forward to. Because of the arrival of the holidays and, especially at Christmas, because they are very festive dates when everyone is infected by the joy of the surroundings, being an active and passive part of the street or family atmosphere.

At home and at work, you will hardly be able to avoid a business or friends' meal where cheap and original promotional gifts are the main topic at some point, also providing entertaining topics of conversation at meetings that you may be forced to attend.

Christmas lights and decorations mark this holiday season as the best time of the year to share and participate. So why not take advantage of this situation to be an active part of the shared joy by offering those Christmas decorations that decorate offices and homes? You will have the opportunity to see your brand being part of present and future Christmases. It is a cheap item that works very well in ecological merchandising for events, fairs and congresses.

Gifts to keep warm in cold weather

If there is any icon that we associate with the Christmas season besides lights, decorations and Christmas carols, it is the cold and snow.

Snowflakes and snowy fir trees are the most common Christmas personalisations on Christmas-specific items that are intended to combat the cold, recalling the warmth that home gives you. Like the personalised mugs and thermoses with Christmas motifs that are included in company welcome kits.

Premium Christmas Gifts

More and more companies are using Christmas as an excuse to build customer loyalty or to motivate their staff. Premium gifts that aim to make a difference, through advanced technology, superior quality and sustainability of ecological materials , or services that make it unique and different, in line with the values ​​of a company committed to the environment, implicit in the purchase of the product. A good example of this is the rpet trolley case or the merchandising items with an eco-label that, in addition to saving water and resources in their manufacture, donate 2% of the profits from each product to Water.org .

Recycled gifts from one year to the next to enjoy with the family

There are no holidays that are more eagerly awaited by the family than Christmas. These are the dates when we always find a little time to play with our children or friends, because it is written, it is intrinsic to the dates themselves.

It is possibly the only time of the year when you can use traditional board games that remain stored away in a drawer for years and that are the perfect ally to fill those long evenings we enjoy on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve or Epiphany, turning hours into minutes, light sleep into fun.

Personalize the gifts

We are all generous at this time, but it is also true that precisely because we get caught up in the Christmas spirit, we make an effort to buy and choose gifts that are specific for Christmas , but that can be reused in other years.

We want to be remembered in the best possible way in future Christmases, so personalising your company and services through merchandising of products that respect natural resources and the environment is another added value.

Differentiating and personalizing your brand will set you apart from other gifts.

Original way to give gifts

If you want to differentiate yourself even more, add an original way to deliver the gifts, in a fun and team-oriented way. Company conventions that promote team camaraderie use treasure map hunts. Maps with icons that mark the path to the reward make unforgettable fun experiences that increase team camaraderie.
