Corporate Christmas Hamper Guide: Spreading Festive Cheer to Colleagues and Clients

As the holiday season approaches, businesses all around the world are probably already planning out the perfect way to celebrate their employees while businessmen are wondering what to send as a gift to their corporate partners. Corporate gifts are very important not just to help build healthy corporate relationships, it’s also for organisations and corporate individuals to say “thank you”. But how exactly should they go about it? What makes a great corporate gift? Are the “rules” of corporate gifting any different during Christmas? Read on to find out.

Types of Corporate Christmas Hampers

• Gourmet Food Hampers

Gourmet food hampers are not necessarily meant just for “foodies” (although a foodie will most definitely appreciate such a gift). Anyone who can appreciate the goodness of good food will love gourmet food hampers.

• Wine Hampers

Wine hampers are the perfect gift for sophisticated and refined individuals. In wine hampers, you’ll find a bunch of carefully picked out wines most of the time paired with complementary treats. They are just the kinds of gifts anyone would appreciate.

• Customized Gift Hampers

The third type of corporate gifts for Christmas are those in the customized category. It’s when you choose the items in that hamper with each particular recipient in mind. The advantage that comes with customized hampers is that they are more likely to help you form a personal connection with your recipient.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Hampers for Recipients

Most people will always appreciate it when you are thoughtful enough to send them a gift. But most times, they completely forget about it a few days later. While other times, people don’t forget as easily. What, then, makes the difference between a highly memorable gift and one that isn’t? Sometimes it might be the monetary value but more times than not, it’s how much thought is put into the gift. How much can the gifter connect with them on a personal level?

There is another side to this as well. Even if you don’t mind whether they forget or not, sometimes when you don’t choose the right hamper, it just becomes absolutely useless to the recipient. For example, people who have certain dietary restrictions or preferences will probably not compromise their health or values and your gift ends up being an inconvenience. This is simply a waste of time and resources. This is why you need to make sure you choose the right hamper.

How to Choose the Right Hamper

• Recipient’s Preferences

There’s absolutely no point in giving someone a gift that they do not even want. It’s a waste of money, time and even thought if after a brief “thank you”, your gift ends up in one of their cabinets till whenever. This is why your first task before choosing a corporate hamper is asking yourself NOT what YOU want but what YOUR RECIPIENT wants. Are they a wine lover? If they are, then do they prefer Merlot or Chardonnay? Remember, when it comes to food gifts, make sure you know about any dietary restrictions or allergies.

•   Budget Considerations

Another thing that you don’t want to ignore is your financial capacity. Emptying your wallet or even ending up borrowing money just because you didn’t plan your budget is a situation you don’t want to end up in. So be clear. Decide what you can afford and whatever happens, do not go beyond that. This way, you won’t be a victim of overspending.

• Variety

A hamper with a single element can tend to be boring at times. We’re not necessarily saying you should get the fanciest gift baskets with all the coolest stuff. If that fits in your budget, that’s great. But if not, then you might have to get a little bit creative. For example, with gourmet food hampers, a main gourmet treat with a few chocolates here, a couple of sweets there and a few more wholesome snacks will make the gift much more interesting than if it was just the treat and nothing else.

• Personalization

Something we will not stop making you understand is how personalization can make the difference between the best gift and the worst gift. Personalized gifts can render gifts that are worth way more in value useless in comparison; to the recipient, of course. That’s why here at Gift Hampers HK, we offer services like adding your company’s logo to the ribbon or including a custom message card whenever you are sending corporate gifts out.

The Positive Impact of Giving Corporate Hampers

• Fostering Business Relationships

Think of giving corporate gifts as a long-term investment. And one of the returns of this investment is better, stronger relationships in the corporate world. You might think they don’t but people actually pay attention to these little things and at the end of the day, you get to have more personal and friendly connections with your corporate neighbours.

• Building Brand Loyalty

This impact is more peculiar to clients but that doesn’t make it any less important. The survival or lack of survival of any business depends on their clients so it might as well be the most important. Gifts, especially well-thought-out ones, are the perfect way to make your clients value your brand because they will see you as a brand that is thoughtful and considerate which is the type of brand everyone wants to work with.

• Creating a Positive Company Culture

Your colleagues and employees/employers are also important because, at the end of the day, you spend the most time with them. This is why corporate Christmas gifts are important. Gift-giving and receiving is a very healthy process. And you can increase the health of a company just by making the act of gift-giving a culture.
