The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide

Master The Art Of Corporate Gifting This Christmas

To give or not to give? That’s the question so many businesses will ask themselves in the lead up to Christmas. Or, more specifically: whether or not you should give gifts to your clients, customers and team. The simple answer to this question: yes!

The gesture of gifting is an effective way of thanking your business network for their support, it helps to build brand loyalty and encourage repeat business.

You might be wondering about the following 3 questions:

1: How much should I spend?

The answer to this will depend on factors such as the size of your business, the other costs you need to meet in that hectic Christmas season lead up, and your relationship with the recipient.

2: Who should I gift to?

You can choose to gift to a few key clients and stakeholders, or push the boat out and gift to a wide list. It will all depend on your budget. Asking some of these questions can help you decide:

  • who are your major clients or customers?
  • who is always loyal?
  • who would you like to continue having as a client?
  • whose business do you value?
  • who would you like to build a stronger relationship with?
  • are there any suppliers or employees you would like to give gifts to?

 

3: What should I give?

The answer to this question is the easiest one yet! Giftology makes corporate gifting (or any other kind of gifting) simple and quick. Thanks to our carefully curated, personalised, luxuriously packaged gift boxes you’ll have every potential option covered. Each of our gift boxes includes silly season-worthy treats and they are all sourced locally right here in NZ.

Planning Your Corporate Gifting

It can feel overwhelming to plan out your whole gifting strategy. So, we recommend taking these simple steps to get started.

  1. Set a total budget for what you want to spend on corporate gifting this year
  2. Make a list of all the businesses and people you would like to recognise
  3. Take a look at what you get for your money – you may choose to have a sliding scale of larger gifts for key contacts and smaller ones for the rest.
  4. Refine your recipient list and choose which gift boxes will suit

Or you can take the one super simple step or contacting our amazing Giftology team and we’ll select the perfect gift options to remain within your budget.

Raise Team Morale With Thoughtful Christmas Gifts

End the year on a high note by giving gifts in-house, too. Your employees have dedicated the year to working hard for you. During the busy Christmas build up, even a small gesture of some delicious Christmas treats can raise morale.

The biggest reason to give to your employees is to show you truly appreciate their work. This ultimately grows morale, increases personal happiness, and encourages them to be generous with themselves, their knowledge, their time and their energy.

Giftology has a carefully curated range of gifts to suit recipients from both your biggest client to your newest team member. Check out our range of luxe gift boxes or contact us to create something outside the box and prepare to spread some joy this Christmas season – and reap the benefits for your business.

Winter Gift Guide

Winter Gift Guide

by | Jun 24, 2021 | Winter

We round out our top 5 Gifts picks for winter in our Winter Gift Guide. Get inspiration for that perfect gift for those cooler months.

Mulled Wine

Top of our winter list is the ultimate in winter adaptions. Taking our favourite summer preoccupation and literally warming it up.  The secret of course to a fine mulled wine is all in the spices.  A perfect mix of cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, cloves paired with a top NZ wine.   Our favourite is the Pepper & Me spice blend. It’s super easy to use as it comes in a handy sachet which means you can use it again with your next bottle!  In fact we love it so much have included in our new Winter Warmer – Mulled Wine Gift Box 

Honey 

One of natures super foods, honey is great all year round. Perfect in winter due to its containment of rich antioxidants for the blood.   Pop a tablespoon in a glass of warm water or add it to your favourite warm drink. Perfect to calm an inflamed throat or simple to enjoy the natural sweet taste honey provides.

Chocolate 

Like honey, chocolate is best enjoyed all year around but in winter there is something about some luxurious dark chocolate enjoyed by a fire.  One of our favourite thing to do though is a little cube of chocolate inside a couple of biscuits with a toasted marshmallow for a little decadent s’more like treat!

Tea

Tea is great gift in winter.  We are so lucky in NZ so have some of the world’s top tea suppliers.  Recent trends have seen an exciting shift back to loose leaf tea. With it has come the revival of some beautiful new tea strainers and reusable tea bags.  We love a loose leaf tea, especially a lovely citrus green and we have a great range available in our Make Time for Tea range of gifts.

Cocktails

Nothing warms the cockles of your heart like a beautiful smooth cocktail!  We understand the thought of the work that goes into making just one can mean it’s just too hard! That’s why we have chosen to include cocktails from the J.M.R Cocktail Co range.  They are small batched in NZ and are perfectly proportioned for one or two servings of 100ml cocktail.  Premixed and ready to drink as is or add in your favourite mix and enjoy a couple.  Enjoy an espresso, chocolate or gin martini or go old school and have yourself a Negroni, Old Fashioned or Manhatten.  Looking for something to entertain a group then we have our Shaken not Stirred – 1L of the delightful Batched Espresso Martini mix ready to pour, just add the coffee beans!

Whatever the occasion we have something to help anyone chase away those winter blues.  Looking for something more bespoke don’t hesitate to get in contact with us to chat about options.

Be the exception, by doing the unexpected

Be the exception, by doing the unexpected

by | Mar 4, 2021 | Uncategorised

Earlier this month it was Valentine’s Day. Throughout the world, millions of lovers eagerly anticipated the validation of their love through flowers, jewellery, food, etc. And let’s be serious, we’re all about the scheduled days for gift-giving, both personally and professionally.

But consider this. Are you more likely to remember an individual gift given on the regularly scheduled day of the year where you might receive several gifts or …

Imagine if on a random Thursday, you’re sitting at your desk after a rough week. You’re daydreaming about a weekend of quiet bliss when Karla from reception calls through to say a parcel has arrived.   You pop down, and she’s looking gleeful as she hands you a package that’s just arrived by courier.  When you open it, it’s a gift box filled with beautiful products. When you flip over the “Just Cos” card on the top, it says “I was just thinking about you and wanted you to know you make my every day better xx”.

  • Which is the story you’re going to talk about?
  • Which one are you still going to be talking about a year later?
  • Which one is going to summon the most emotion?

Unexpected gift-giving doesn’t just thrill in our personal lives. It works wonders in corporate gift-giving too.

You can and should of course hit those expected gifting events, such as point of sale, re-signing a client, and Christmas. But if you want to really stand out consider sending an unexpected gift.

This type of strategic gifting takes you from ’just another gift among the masses’ to a stand-alone mood lifter.

Whether you’re looking to increase your customer retention, land that elusive new client or on-board the client of your dreams unexpected gift-giving is an opportunity to create a memory and develop your own unique story with them.

Nine times out of ten the response to receiving your gift will be to reach out and say thank you. Which means you’ve now you’ve got an opportunity to engage with that person and put in place a positive narrative about your brand. You’ve got another opportunity to be remembered by them and everyone they’ll share this experience with.

Business success relies heavily on our ability to build strong relationships and strategic gifting is feel good marketing at its best.

In the words of Anne Frank ‘No one has ever become poor by giving’.

Humans are hardwired for connection and as we navigate an increasing digitally dominated workspace finding those personal interactions become even more key to building strong lasting partnerships.

We’d love to help you send the right unexpected gifts to your clients and employees.
