Holiday Gifting with Purpose
Ahhh, it’s almost the holiday season—when life gradually becomes encompassed with pumpkin spice lattes, cool weather apparel, and cozy days spent inside. It comes as no surprise that the holidays are the perfect time to show appreciation towards employees and clients for their hard work and partnership over the past year. To help with the process, our team has compiled a Holiday Catalog that features fun, and unique gift ideas, focused on minority-owned businesses and sustainable products.
Below we’ve put together some highlights, as well as useful tips for planning and executing the gift-giving process.
Planning Ahead is Essential!
Companies with a remote workforce and client base have recipients that are often spread all over the country, or across the world. Figuring out how to poll ideas, order items, and send everyone’s gifts in the time for the holidays can be an overwhelming project. That is where we can help!
We advise that you organize a plan as soon as possible, and consider the timeline involved in placing an order for the holidays, which often requires more lead time than the standard gifting procedure. Our Holiday Catalog includes a handy calendar that you can use to map out your gifting game plan.
Gift Kits
Advanced planning is especially important if your mind is set on gift kits. Kits are a great way to combine a variety of fun items into one gift (and who doesn’t like getting more gifts?). That’s why we’ve put together a selection of kit options with a few different gifting themes below.

Healthy Mind, Happy Hearts
Want to show your recipients they deserve some TLC for the holidays? Why not send them an Aloe Take Care Kit, which combines a stylishly potted aloe plant with an essential oil diffuser. Pair that with a chic, concrete candle and match set, or a cozy, eco-friendly fleece blanket, and you’ve got the perfect self-care gift.
The Ultimate Home Office
With many people having shifted to working from home, items to complement the home office setup have become popular options for company holiday gifting. This kit includes customizable mug warmer pads, bamboo lap-desks, and bluetooth earbuds that are sure to spruce up your recipients’ WFH experience.

Greatest Hits
With all that said, there is also the choice of going simple with a swag classic. A quality hoodie customized with a company logo might just be what your recipients want. Flip to the back of our catalog for a selection of items that are tried-and-true team pleasers.
Add a Personal Touch
Whether you’re going all out, or keeping it simple, one way to put together a memorable holiday gift is to make it a personalized experience. Consider including a card, with individual messages for each person. Or, you could arrange a virtual unboxing event, where your team or clients can open their gifts together. This way the gifting becomes a shared experience.
