Top 10 Corporate Holiday Gifts
Although we’ve just entered prime time spooky season and Halloween is still a few weeks away, it won’t be long before were sitting around the table carving turkey and stuffing our faces with mashed potatoes and gravy.
As we quickly shuffle our way through the season of “Hallothanksmas,” we at Crooked Monkey thought it would be beneficial to our readers if we better prepared them for the latter half of the magic that lies ahead…
Christmas- the season of lights, carols, and corporate holiday gifts!
The Holiday season is so beautiful, yet it can bring about so much unwanted and unnecessary worry.
The pressure of what to get who, the constant anxiety that comes with finding time to shop, and don’t even get me started on the tension of mall traffic. But for those of you who own your own business, the responsibility of purchasing Christmas gifts stretches much farther than friends and family as the holiday season is the perfect opportunity to show a little employee appreciation with some nice premium custom promo items.
With all of the added Holiday stressors, how does one manage continuing on with their everyday business responsibilities all the while planning to gift an entire corporation?
At Crooked Monkey we know exactly how hard it can be to find the perfect custom item that can be a great gift for your employees, so we have put together a list of the top 10 ideas for business Christmas presents 2019!
1. Custom Plants
With the new year comes new life- give your employees something green to spruce up the office space in 2020. Plants bring both tranquility and ambiance to a room, so why not offer your employees that serene stillness for throughout their work day? Custom Plants are new to the scene of corporate holiday gifts, but we can promise they will leave your staff feeling Holly and Jolly all year long… or until they forget to water them!
2. Texting Gloves
Unfortunately the Christmas chill is unavoidable in some parts of the country, so why not gift your employees with exactly what they’ll need following the Holiday season? It will be far too cold for employees to take their gloves off shuffling from meeting to meeting… So that means George from Accounting won’t see your email about bringing last month’s reports. Keep your employees hands warm and toasty, and their company inboxes completely up to date with a pair of custom texting gloves!
For many, the Holidays mean Holiday travel. By gifting your employees with a custom company duffle bag, not only have you made their packing a bit easier and more stylish, but you’ve also opened up the opportunity for your company name to be seen by hundreds of other holiday travelers throughout their airport commutes. Link up with us for help with the design, and we can promise it will be their go to bag for any and every trip they take in the new year!
4. Blue Light Glasses
Remember when you were a kid and everyone in your class wanted a pair of glasses? Yeah, me neither. But your employees will be over the moon about these! Long days at the office mean long days staring at a computer screen, which can induce migraines, blurred vision, and less than productive employees. Do your part to help protect the eyes of your people with a pair of custom blue light glasses. Not only will they work to reduce eye sight strain, but they’ll have the whole office looking chic and ready to get to work!
Tell me your employees wouldn’t be thrilled about receiving premium corporate holiday gifts? I mean who else do you know offers such top quality apparel to their staff? Set yourself apart from the rest in employee appreciation and remind your people why they have grown so loyal to their employer. We know premium might mean a bit pricey, but with quality that impressive your employees are going to want to wear them everywhere- which means extra opportunity for brand awareness- Making a premium Patagonia, Columbia, or North Face jacket is the perfect investment for employee gifts this Holiday season.
Hydration is important for both concentration and productivity. Gift your employees with a custom tumbler this holiday season and encourage a companywide health initiative of more water intake throughout the work day for the start of the New Year. Once the habit picks up, they’ll be taking their new custom tumbler everywhere they go- bringing plenty of new eyes to your logo. Most of our tumblers are insulated, working to keep the cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot, offering further versatility and more opportunity for use. With various sizes and color options, we can work with you to find the perfect fit to represent your company, gifting your whole staff with something they will love!
What better time to gift your employees with comfort than at the start of the coldest winter months? Blankets are the perfect holiday gift because those few moments of Christmas vacation not used up mingling at family gatherings will most likely be spent curled up on the couch relaxing and unwinding from the craziness of the end of the year. Unlike many corporate holiday gifts, a custom blanket will serve as useful for years and years to come, so if you’re thinking practicality for your corporate holiday gifts this year- Custom blanket are the perfect way to go!
8. Candles
Often times, the holidays bring about many opportunities for visitors. From family gatherings to cookie exchanges, Christmas is just the perfect time for hosting. When visitors are expected, we work hard to make sure the house both looks and smells clean, so why not help take that last responsibility off of your employees shoulders by gifting them with a custom candle this holiday season? With scents that are to die for, we can promise you everyone will be questioning where they too can find one… Only to be met with a story full of gratitude for their host’s beloved employer- leaving their guests with a favorable story and a positive brand image of your company!
As the great Lord Stark once said, WINTER IS COMING…! Temperatures are about to get down lower than we can even imagine, and when employees don’t take the proper precautions to protect themselves from the frigid temperatures, they find themselves where no boss wants them to be… home sick! Protect your employees from the freezing temps and protect yourself from being short handed this Winter by gifting them with a custom scarf this holiday season. With so many color options, you’re sure to find one that perfectly accentuates your company logo, and keeps the whole staff looking good- but most importantly, leaves them feeling toasty!
10. Disposable Cameras (Yes we can customize)
What better time to gift your employees with a camera than during the fun-filled and family packed Holiday Season? In the current age of cell phones and social media, it isn’t often that people actually take the time to print their holiday photos. Give your employees a reason to disconnect from their cells this Christmas and return to the “old fashioned way” of Holiday photos by gifting them with a disposable camera.The whole office will return in the New Year with pictures to share of their family and friends enjoying the holiday season. Ultimately encouraging more personable and well rounded relationships in the office and helping to create a comfortable and friendly work environment!
