1. Luxury Food & Wine Gifts
Gone are the days of the mass-produced cheese and crackers. Leave ’em in the past. If you really want to leave a good taste in their mouth, luxury food and wine gifts are your best bet.
Imagine instead a wine basket full of gourmet treats, like artisan chocolates, cheeses (havarti, gouda, or any melty-heaven) from nearby farms, and rich dips, paired with a premium wine subscription.
In fact, we helped a client celebrate a major milestone with their top salespeople by sending personalized champagne gift sets like Veuve Clicquot along with a stylish insulated wine tote — perfect for summer picnics!
2. Luxury Home Goods
For something a bit more enduring than food and wine (let’s be honest — a basket that delicious won’t last long!), luxury home goods are the gifts that keep on giving.
A beautifully hand-crafted set of lava rock bookends adds a touch of sophistication to any home office, while a high-quality bar tool set encourages them to mix up their favorite cocktails in style (think handcrafted copper jiggers and a sleek muddler).
We’ve also seen great success with unique conversation pieces like personal fireplaces or a top-of-the-line electric kettle, among other kitchenware that doubles as a design statement.
Remember that when it comes to luxury home goods, functionality should meet style!
3. Luxury Tech Gifts
Tech gifts are a must in today’s world, but you shouldn’t settle for anything generic. No one needs another little gadget they won’t use, so deliberately choose luxury tech gifts that elevate their everyday lives. Even better, one that subtly showcases your brand logo.
For instance, a sleek wireless charging pad with a built-in phone stand keeps their device powered up and organized, while a personalized leather portfolio for their tablet adds a touch of professionalism to their WFH setup.
We once partnered with a client to gift their employees a 3-in-1 LED lamp with built-in speaker and power bank while giving another client’s employees portable coffee grinders, which was perfect for those focused mornings at home.
4. Experiential Luxury Gifts
Move over, movie night for one! Experiential luxury gifts create unforgettable memories that strengthen bonds. There’s a thrill that comes with VIP concert tickets or exclusive access to a sporting event.
For instance, we advise some of our clients to reward their top performers with a weekend getaway to a luxurious spa resort, complete with cooking classes and wine tastings. An experience they still talk about today!
The best part: Experiential gifts allow you to tailor the experience to your audience’s interests, whether it’s a heart-pounding adventure or a relaxing escape.
5. Customized Luxury Gifts
Take Luxury branded corporate gifts to the next level with customization. Tailored leather travel bags with their initials embossed in gold scream sophistication.
We’ve even created personalized gift experiences for clients, like partnering with a travel agency to curate bespoke itineraries or offering personal shopping sprees for a high-end experience that screams luxury.
Why does it work? A customized gift shows you put extra thought and effort into their experience and don’t we all want to feel like the Belle of the ball?
6. Luxury Wellness Gifts
Self-care is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Luxury wellness gifts promote relaxation and rejuvenation. A luxurious yoga mat like Lululemon’s The Mat encourages them to unwind after a long day, while a pair of plush slippers (like Kashwere!) invites them to sink into pure comfort.
We’ve also seen success with curated spa gift sets filled with essential oils and aromatherapy candles. It’s a great way to unwind at home.
Remember that when it comes to wellness gifts, your focus should be on quality and creating a spa-like experience (ahh…).
Why Thoughtful Gifting Matters
Of course, you know corporate gifting is important! But in the corporate world, a well-chosen present goes beyond a simple “thank you.” It’s a chance to strengthen relationships and subtly showcase your brand values.
For companies with environmentally conscious customers, we recommend beautifully crafted gifts made from recycled materials and ethical production processes that match their company’s sustainability efforts. It speaks volumes!
