Custom Corporate Gifts that Will Build Employee and Client Relationships

We all know that gifting helps define relationships and strengthen the bond between family and friends. When sending gifts to our loved ones, there’s a certain kind of joy that comes back from knowing that they loved your gifts, especially if you took the time and effort to choose gifts based on their unique preferences. 

This is why personalised and custom gifts say so much — even in corporate gifting. Custom corporate gifts convey your thoughtful appreciation towards the gifts’ recipients. Furthermore, the best corporate gift ideas will complement and expand on your company's essential messaging, showing that your core values are applied to all aspects of your business. 

Nonetheless, in the search for the perfect custom corporate gifts, companies may get lost among the many preconceived myths about these personalised gifts. As these types of gifts tend to be more on the expensive side (the price of being custom-made), it would be a shame if your recipient will not find them practical or meaningful to keep.

Some Myths About Custom Corporate Gifts

So first, let’s bust some of the custom corporate gifts out there. 

MYTH: Branding Is a Must!

You may think that this makes the merchandise more special, but it's likely that not everyone would want to wear a t-shirt or sip coffee from a cup with a large, unsightly logo on it. 

While you can go ahead and use your logo in corporate gifts, you should still opt to strike a balance. Choose a custom corporate gift with the appropriate level of personalisation. Make your logo visible, but find a way to make it visually appealing.

MYTH: Packaging Has to Be Fancy

Packaging can make your custom corporate gift extra special, that's true. But you would also want to take into consideration that people are now more environmentally-conscious, so choosing sustainable corporate gift ideas (even down to the packaging) can say a lot about your company.

Doing so doesn’t mean you’ll have to skip on that pretty bow, gift box, or gift bag. With many corporate gift suppliers offering biodegradable and recyclable packaging, your gift will truly feel more meaningful.

MYTH: Custom Corporate Gifts Take Longer to Produce

This can be the case, but not always. While they're not exactly same-day delivery gifts, the amount of time may actually depend on the size of your order — in general, larger orders take longer to prepare. 

However, if you find a reliable corporate gifts supplier in Singapore, they should be able to complete your order faster than those who subcontract their orders. With the facilities and means to fulfil orders, they should be able to produce your order on schedule and without sacrificing product quality.

And for orders that come in bigger quantities, you may find that your custom corporate gifts can come out less expensive than your other options. 

MYTH: No One Uses Custom Corporate Gifts

After spending so much time, budget and effort preparing your custom corporate gifts, it would be disappointing if they end up not being used at all. So it's important to give your valued clients, employees and colleagues a personalised corporate gift that they will not only use but also enjoy.

Here are some suggestions for choosing a thoughtful custom corporate gift:

• Choose a gift based on the occasion
• Think of the recipient’s lifestyle
• Go for original ideas
• Take the time to find the best corporate gifts supplier

Ideas for Your Custom Corporate Gifts

To help you find the best custom corporate gift, here are some of our ideas:

1. Branded Planter

If going green is the theme, then a branded planter like this charming pot might be the best custom corporate gift option for you. It brings a piece of nature (helping to boost mood!) into the office. And because the Haworthia Zebra Plant only needs to be watered every two or three weeks, even a first-time plant owner should not have much trouble. 

2. Custom Snack Boxes

Sending out a message of positivity and inclusivity, the Amplify Snacks + Goods Box comes with exciting promotional gifts along with healthy snacks, of course! So this bundle is not just about the candle, notebook, coffee beans, and your everyday nibbles, it also helps support BIPOC, LatinX, or LGBTQ+ founded companies.

3. Mindfulness Bundles

Reminding its recipient to pause and take the time to breathe, a wellness bundle like the ‘You’ve Got This’ Positivity Bundle can truly add light to the workplace. And because it can also help one carve out time for self-care at home, it makes for good work from home gifts.

A perfect gift set for someone who could do with an extra dose of positivity, encouragement, de-stressing, and all-rounded self-care in their lives, this bundle comes with an Affirmation Candle, room spray and greeting card.

Crafted from 100% pure essential oils and a luxurious wax blend that contains coconut wax and rice bran wax Innerfyre Co candles are sustainable, non-toxic and natural. Our materials are 100% biodegradable and recyclable and we do not use plastics in our packaging.
