Christmas season is often signaled by jolly music, bright lights and is meant to be a time of celebration and relaxation spent with friends and family. However, in reality, Christmas isn’t all about endless parties and festivities. For some, it can also be a time of worry and stress because of a number of reasons such as the pressure of socializing, the worry of spending too much money, and the gruelling task of finding perfect presents for all the people in our gift list.
In this time of the year, it’s easy to get caught up in the search for the perfect gift. We often find ourselves asking “Will my mother like this?”, “Is this something my sister would buy for herself?” While selecting gifts can be stressful, the joy that comes with seeing your recipients delighted over your gifts makes all the hassle and struggle worth it.
One of the people that can be the trickiest to select gifts for is your employees and clients. For these people, you do not just aim to show them your appreciation, you also want to be able to give gifts that may further strengthen and enhance your professional relationships.
Choosing the right Christmas gifts for employees and clients is something that requires a lot of thought. While you should aim to give a gift that is thoughtful, it should also be generic enough to cater to different people with different tastes and preferences. Corporate gifts should be professional yet still feel personal and getting the balance right can be tricky.
While it may be hard to find the perfect corporate gifts, there are three easy ways to enhance it and make it a token of appreciation that can really help demonstrate to clients and employees how much you care about them.
The presentation can be just as important and impactful as choosing the right gift. How you present your gift can say a great deal about how much you value your professional relationship. Make it a point to spend time and money on how you present your gift.
Many companies make the mistake of sending gifts to partners and clients that contain their company’s logo, name and even products. That makes your gift look more like a marketing effort than a token of appreciation.
Even the most commonly given present can become remarkable with the right personal touch. Avoid sending a simple Christmas card with a signature. If you really want to make a lasting effort with your corporate gift, take a minute or two to write a sincere handwritten note about how you value your business relationship.
Selecting a gift for your business’ clients and internal employees is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Since business is involved, the wrong gift might end up forgotten or worse, might offend your clients or employees. Meanwhile, carefully considered and well-thought-out corporate gifts can strengthen your professional relationships and make them feel valued and appreciated.
A bottle of wine has long been considered an ideal present, especially with our long and culturally significant relationship with drinking. Many of our life celebrations involve some form of celebratory drink and let’s admit, it can be challenging to maintain a social life without having a few drinks. It’s normal to grab a pint with friends after work, open a bottle of red for a date, go on a craft beer tasting event, or even pop a bottle of Champagne alone at home.
According to a report from Mirror, the UK is slowly becoming a nation of wine lovers, especially with the current rise in the popularity of drinking prosecco. With years of record-breaking sales, prosecco is expected to beat champagne as the most loved bubbled beverage. The bubbly Italian drink has become the best-selling sparkling wine in the UK and while it’s hard to pinpoint when this prosecco craze started, the sales started rapidly rising in 2011, and consumption doubled in the UK from 2013-2014. Since then, the growth has been consistent and it seems like the prosecco bubble is still far from bursting.
