Article by Brian Koh

During the holidays, the scramble is usually on to get a lot of things done before Christmas comes – not least of which is gift buying. Finding presents for family and friends is hard enough, but when it comes to corporate presents giving, the task is even more complicated. Unusual corporate gifts can often make a statement, and in some cases, engraved corporate gifts may also be suitable. Which should you choose for your particular situation?

That depends; although food gifts like muffins are a variety of cheeses can be good choices, they can also be “so-so” especially if you’ve given them a lot. The same holds true of the old standby, fruitcake. A better bet is to focus on unusual business gifts to give your employees. Begin thinking about what you want to give several months before you do. You can often buy gifts in bulk, even engraved corporate gifts. If you do buy in bulk or buy unusual corporate gifts, however, make sure you order plenty ahead of time so that there’s enough time to complete your order before you need it. Knowing that things are taken care of while before Christmas is also going to relieve some of the holiday stress so many of us feel.

Corporate gift giving is important to your loyal employees. Offer them up in a different fashion by throwing them a party where you can have a good sit down, a bit of fun and time to just chat and while away the day. Engraved business gifts for them may be just the thing they are looking for. You can try glasses, pens, photo frames or maybe even a plaque for each expressing your gratitude to each and every employee. For an unusual corporate present you can have giant cookies or brownies made by some of the chocolate manufactures with each employee’s name listed on their very own goodies.

You can also choose to give corporate gifts whereby you may include favorite items like books, a choice of gourmet coffee, or a mug inside a gift basket. Offer employees, clients, or colleagues a day off. Or, you can have a spa day for those employees who wish to participate right in your workplace. Even hiring music for corporate occasions, like a string quartet, can bring a festive atmosphere to a relatively simple gathering.

Personalization companies can be found in every major city as well as online. These can offer you the chance to engrave corporate presents with your logo or company name. Some of the more unusual corporate gifts can include ceramic coasters, prepaid phone cards and if your clients like to golf – golf balls are an excellent choice!

Clothing, too, is a good choice for unusual corporate presents. Purchase T-shirts, polo shirts, or sweatshirts, for example, with your company logo on them and then have each person’s name put on his or her piece of clothing. Include a fun saying, motivational message, or company slogan on them as well as local. Your choices are truly endless.
