Corporate hamper gift sets
We’re closer to Christmas than the start of 2024; how time flies! This made us think about the great hampers we offer, with each one being carefully designed to match their target audience. If you have just set your budget or are re-forecasting what you have in the budget left ready for Christmas, hampers are a great gift to show your appreciation to employees.
Why corporate hampers for Christmas?
So, what have you gifted to staff, clients, and suppliers for Christmas in the past? When you think about it, what did the teams enjoy? What sort of feedback did you get, good and bad? Did you plan ahead, or did you buy your gifts last minute due to how busy you were? Or did you just simply forget? Why don’t you plan now while you’re ahead? We promise you won’t regret it.
Here are some points we feel are what makes hampers a great corporate gift:
- Hampers offer an array of options with a little something that everyone will like.
- The majority of people love hampers because they include gifts you either would never buy for yourself or presents you wouldn’t think to ask for.
- Hampers are relatively cost-effective when brought in bulk, ready for you to gift to clients, staff, and suppliers.
- Hampers are crafted to be shipped, which creates a post-delivery-friendly gift that a lot of thought and care has gone into.
- It saves you valuable time on having to find the right gifts in local stores that are more expensive for a less personal item(s).
- Our hampers allow you to include branded merchandise as part of the hamper, making it look more professional and meaningful.
- Hampers are also great team gifts because the items within can be shared out amongst the individuals so everyone can have something they want.
- There are many different styles of hampers, allowing you to tailor it to the individual or group of people, such as alcohol-free and vegan options. This shows the consideration you have made to specify it to those individuals.
If you’re still not sure on why choosing a hamper is the best idea for staff Christmas gifts, then what about creating a hamper that represents your brand values in terms of the visual and the quality of the contents?
Create your own branded hamper
Hampers offer variety and personalisation; what individual doesn’t appreciate that?
Typical items that are found within a festive hamper are as follows:
- Chocolate
- Alcohol
- Cheese and crackers
- Biscuits
- Tea and coffee
- Sweet items
Christmas is largely about the food, where you eat what you want and have a good time. What better way to provide this than a hamper, full of items associated with the festive season, to get people in the Christmas spirit?
Branded items that could be included in a Christmas hamper are:
- A branded Christmas bauble that can be put on display on their tree is a great item that can be kept year after year with a personal meaning.
- Branded drinking glasses like shot or wine glasses.
- A branded cheeseboard and similar appliances.
- Branded Christmas socks are great fun and are a gift that’s sure to make the recipient laugh.
- A branded flask to take on the boxing day walk.
- Branded gingerbread men to go with the flasks with some hot chocolate.
- A branded notebook or diary to get organised for the year ahead.
- A branded Christmas cracker ready for the fun at Christmas.
If you would rather gift more practical gifts to your staff or clients then think about what they would find useful, perhaps a scarf or a nice pair of gloves to keep warm in the colder months?
There are many options available for you to brand your hamper; some of these options include:
- A branded wrap around the hamper of your company logo.
- Each hamper can have a personalised note inside to make it more personalised to that person, to make it special to them.
- You could even attach little notes to specific items as to new brand ideas of the items included.
- You can also add any additional notes on the outside if it is in a box.
An important question you need to ask yourself is: What do you want your gift to do?
Basically, we are asking you: What do you want to achieve with your gifting efforts? Since you’re paying for it, it’s important to have some goals associated with it to make it worthwhile, even if it’s something as simple as expressing your appreciation.
Some other examples are:
- Boosting morale amongst team members within the company and externally.
- Having a positive impact on new and existing business relationships to show loyalty.
- Use it as a way of making your clients remember you, to make you their first choice, which in turn helps your business grow and develop greater relationships and connections.
Ask yourself: What would your audience love?
If the traditional style of festive hampers isn’t suited to your brand or to the individual, then what about other options such as:
- A pet hamper for animal lovers.
- A book readers hamper.
- Stationary hamper.
- A beauty hamper for those who are makeup lovers.
- A crafting hamper.
- Afternoon tea hamper.
We are here to work with you to create the perfect hamper that works for your brand audience.
Create your corporate Christmas hamper
- What is your budget and how many recipients are you creating it for?
- What style of gift box are you going to choose, a basket, box, tray, etc?
- Will you include branded items?
- What are your must have hamper items that you require?
- We will create some concepts for you to decide whether you like it or not and we can go from there.
- What sort of message would you like to include? Something sweet and personal, or something more brand base?
Although it is a lovely idea to do it all in-house with designing, sourcing, packing, storage, and delivery, making it seem more personal, you must think about how you are going to do that, whether there are enough items in the stores that you want, and whether you have enough time to make it happen. Is it a better option to hand over the task to an external company, which will most likely make the process more time-effective and cost-efficient, and their expertise will make the process smooth sailing, leaving you feeling satisfied that your hampers will reach their destination on time? Some things we would encourage you to watch out for if you’re questioning whether to do it in-house or externally are:
- Where will you keep them? Make sure any food and drink going into the hamper has a long enough expiration date.
- If you are posting it, you will need to work out the postage cost to take into consideration.
- Will you take care of shipping, or would you prefer if we did? Do you know all the addresses, or is this something you need to work out?
- Make sure you don’t miss any postal deadlines, or else they’ll be sat in a royal mail warehouse rather than being dropped to the recipient’s residency.
