Early bird… Gets the best EOY gift.
We all know that going about it at the last minute is never a good idea. You should be planning and ordering your end-of-the-year gift at least 3 months in advance –that way you can get your hands on the coolest products.
So, write it down on your calendar, put a post-it note on your desktop, or a reminder on your phone.
Doing this earlier also means taking the time to choose your gifts thoughtfully (and not in a rush due to time constraints).
Choose your recipients wisely.
Do you plan on offering gifts to your customers, or perhaps to your valued employees? Or both? In this case it is important to know your field of action.
The goal is not to offer anything to anyone, but rather choose what you’re giving to whom, and do it with intent.
You see, intent will vary depending on the recipient. If the gifts are for customers, you’re going to want the gift to be something they use on the daily –so they always have your logo on hand.
Conversely, if the gift is for your employees, you instead want to offer moments of wellness, so they feel appreciated for their hard work.
Once you’ve decided on the recipients of your gifts, it’s time to choose the present.
Any idea regarding the budget?
This is crucial: define your budget (And quantity), ASAP. This will help you narrow down your options and calculate your costs in terms of product customization and delivery.
The best is to define an average budget per person, because then, you will be able to define it according to your recipient.
What about personalization?
Once you’ve chosen your gifts, you might as well add a finishing touch and personalize them.
Whether it be your embossed logo, the engraved name of your recipient, or a printed drawing of your choice, personalization is always the cherry on top of the perfect present.
We’ll leave you with our final reminder: If you want to truly ‘wow’ your employees, don’t leave your end-of-the-year gift for the last minute.
A little secret? If you’re getting your gifts at the last minute, you’re only going to get the items that are in stock –aka, the not-so-special gifts!

Decor is everything!
What would Christmas be without a jolly tree decorated with bright string lights? Give it your all if the budget allows it. Extra special ideas include:
– Branded Christmas tree ornaments
– Branded wrapping paper for the gifts under the tree
– Customized sweaters for the chilly season (to match the décor, of course!)
The possibilities are endless, and any space is fair game! From walls, to ceilings, to windows, to chairs. Just picture it: your office feeling extra cozy for those end-of-the-year days right before your X-mas holiday.
If you want to spoil your staff a bit extra, create personalized stockings to hang around the office, and fill those with snacks, goodies, and a handwritten note!
A twist on the classic advent calendar.
We’re not talking about the traditional advent calendar filled with chocolates –but about a special one created just for your staff.
This is your chance to get creative. For example, get a different employee to open a different box every day.
Each box can be filled with various swag items, each one branded, so your staff can sport your company logo on their winter getaways.
EOY presents must be ready.
In an ideal world, you’ve been planning your end-of-year present for a while –the Holiday season is the perfect moment to make sure you’ve got them wrapped up and ready to go! This includes writing (or printing) any hand-written letters you want to include to thank your hard-working hires in the most beautiful time of the year.
Regardless of your budget, you can always make the best out of the Holiday season.
