Whether you’re trying to sign a new client, retain existing clients or show clients how much you appreciate their business, a gift can go a long way. Here are some of our favorite ideas for client gifting:
1. Celebration Gifts for Clients
Dazzle your clients with a sleek luxury corporate gift to celebrate a big milestone or a special announcement! You can’t go wrong with a monochromatic, all-black gift with a touch of sparkle.

5. Branded Swag Boxes
We loved creating these playful “Goodbye Opinions, Hello Reali-tea” gifts for Gong’s Customer Advisory Forum last year!
These branded gifts were all about puns and hype — complete with a branded insert that let recipients know the gift would make sense once they got to the forum. Talk about a great way to boost attendance!
We tastefully incorporated Gong’s newly revamped company logo on the custom branded packaging suite and on a few products inside the gift, like braned notebook and a custom mug by Miir that featured a playful slogan for their event. Complete with purple crinkle paper, we packed these punny gifts to perfection!
6. Branded Bluetooth Speakers
For a corporate gift that’s modern, stylish, and useful — branded speakers are the way to go!
Speakers have quickly become one of our most popular swag products, alongside other tech gadgets like portable chargers, custom headphones, tile trackers, and more.
Bonus points if you add in branded packaging elements like a custom card insert with a QR code linking to a stellar playlist! Now that’s a surefire way to make your client gifts extra memorable this year.

For Pineapple Productions, a pineapple-themed gift was a no-brainer! We not only found the most on-brand products but also chose them strategically — something the client could enjoy right away (the delicious Sugarfina gummies), something they would actually use (the custom logo candle by NEST New York) and something the client could keep forever (the branded tubler) here’s nothing quite as sweet as pineapples mixed with strategy!
You can bet Pineapple Productions’ clients will never forget who sent them this swag gift!

There are tons of ways to give conference gifts, but sending a gift afterward is one of our favorites!

Take it from Paycor — that’s exactly what they did after the 2022 SHRM conference in New Orleans! What better way to stay top of mind with potential new customers than by following up with a thoughtful gift inspired by the French Quarter’s bold flavors?! ⚜️

On the other hand, experience gifts can help your team bond, create conversation and break the routine. Here are some unique corporate gifting experiences to consider.
26. Backyard Barbeque Gift Box
Who said you have to leave the house to party in style?
The Backyard Bash brings that comfy feel to corporate gifting. What’s that mean, you ask? Well, try a barbecue spice blend, root beer syrup, spicy almonds by Giddy Up Nuts, and decadent beef jerky. Add a gorgeous branded tumbler and branded speaker, and they’ll have those keepsakes to enjoy forever!
Throw some steaks on the grill, and they’re ready to laze their worries away!

Appropriately dubbed “The On The Links,” this golf kit will have your recipient ready to hit the course in no time!

Naturally, it comes with ramen noodles by Public Goods, ramen seasoning by San Juan Island Sea Salt, and Momofuku chili crunch to top it all off! We also included a ceramic noodle bowl by W&P and traditional olive wood chopsticks.
They’ll be ready to boil a pot of water and savor those succulent noodles as soon as they crack open the box! All they’ll miss are cherry blossoms outside the window.
31. Juggling Themed Gift
There are tons of ways you can connect and engage meaningfully with your recipients — one of our favorites is by including a custom card insert with a QR code.
For example, take one of our favorite projects: this custom gift for World Juggling Day!
When an online learning company approached us for an interactive custom client gift that would showcase their online learning lessons, our team dreamed up the perfect gift!
