Unique Corporate Christmas Gift Ideas
Unusual Gifts for Clients at Christmas, Healthy and Eco-Friendly
Oct 13, 2009
Don’t want to give run of the mill gift baskets, bottles of wine or boxes of chocolates to clients this Christmas? This article offers ideas for unique corporate gifts that will keep staff healthy or give business opportunities to others.
Unusual Eco-Friendly Gifts
Christmas is a time for giving but the majority of business gifts, which are either edible (gourmet chocolate or food baskets) or drinkable (cases of wine or champagne), are both unhealthy and do nothing to help the environment or those less well-off. Why not make a difference this year with these suggestions:
- Give a micro finance corporate Christmas gift. Send the client a gift card with an invite to donate money to an entrepreneur who needs money to either start a business or expand an existing one. Kiva is one of the biggest micro finance organizations that facilitates small loan lending to poor people in developing nations. What better way to help someone less well off and allow business clients to feel that they are making a real difference rather than just accepting yet another box of chocolates?
- Give a gift of nutrition. Use the corporate gift money to donate to organizations like Project Concern International. They fund initiatives like the water buffalo scheme in India which provides undernourished children living on the streets with nutritious milk produced by the buffalo. Just $1200 can buy one water buffalo.
Healthy Corporate Christmas Gifts
For companies who want to give something personal but healthy consider the following ideas:
- Water bottles for office staff. Good for larger companies, water bottles printed with a company logo can be purchased in volume for just a few dollars a piece. This is a great gift to give the whole company rather than just the company executives and a neat way to encourage staff to stay healthy by filling up their water bottles and drinking regularly.
- Sponsor a weekend fitness day for the client’s staff. It could be at a spa for small numbers or at a fitness center for a larger group. Another way to give a healthy gift to the entire company rather than singling out some key individuals.
- Healthy food baskets. If something edible is still required, make it a healthy choice by giving an exotic fruit basket, tins of herbal or green tea, rich in antioxidants or a selection of flavored olive oil. Choose a supplier who uses eco-friendly recycled packaging material rather than elaborate Christmas wrapping paper.
Business Gifts for Clients
Give an unusual corporate gift this Christmas either by offering clients the funds to help make a difference to someone less well off or simply give a healthy gift to the entire company, pleasing everyone.
