Alright, we’re here to set the record straight. Just because we collectively refer to this *gestures arms out widely* as corporate gifting, it doesn’t mean what you give and what we create with you has to be buttoned up and lame… Respectfully, of course.
For 10/10 memorability and ultimate fun for your clients and employees, we recommend sending gifts that make an impact. And to do it all with some style.
Luckily, the month of March provides plenty of prime opportunities to do just that! Perfect ways to celebrate the folks in your corner as well as surprise anyone in the building with an unexpected gift box to break up the day-to-day grind. So take a moment and go the extra mile.
In other words, give something that isn’t totally lame.
Give a corporate gift that feels anything but corporate. Live a little and let your gifts tell a story – one with personality and some punchiness while still focusing on sharing your brand values.
Why is March the Perfect Time For Unique Corporate Gifting?
Think outside the (gift) box—March is a seriously underrated time of year when it comes to corporate gifting. While everyone else is waiting for the holidays to roll around, you’ve got a golden opportunity to make your mark now.
Here’s why March is actually one of the best times to send a memorable, strategic gift your clients and team won’t stop talking about.
Less Noise, More Impact
Let’s be honest—December gifting is kind of a traffic jam. Everyone’s sending something, inboxes are overflowing, and your thoughtfully curated gift is one of hundreds.
But March? Wide open lane. Fewer gifts are being sent, which means yours actually stands out. It feels more unexpected, more intentional, and more like you really thought this through (because, well… you did).
Surprise and Delight, But Make It Seasonal
Between Mardi Gras, March Madness, the first day of spring, and Employee Appreciation Day, March has more moments than you think.
And that means more chances to match your gifts to a theme, a vibe, or a team goal. A colorful spring refresh or a sports-themed box? 10/10 morale booster.
Strategy > Routine
Anyone can send a holiday gift. But a March gift? That’s next-level strategic. It shows that you’re not just following a calendar but thinking about your relationships year-round.
Gifting in March helps you nurture connections in that quiet Q1-Q2 window, warm up cold leads, or reignite momentum with key clients and partners.
Why Holiday Gifts Aren’t Always It
Holiday gifts are great. But they’re also expected, rushed, and sometimes—dare we say—forgettable. (Especially if they land after the office party.)
March gifting breaks the mold. It shows creativity, thoughtfulness, and a real investment in standing out. TL;DR: when everyone else zigged in December, you zagged in March. And that’s the kind of move people remember.
5 Great Ways to Give in March
Need a little inspo? We’ve got you.
March is packed with moments that are perfect for gifting—and even more perfect for showing off your brand’s personality. Whether you’re all about celebrating your team, surprising top clients, or simply brightening someone’s desk on a Tuesday, these ideas check every box (pun intended).
Here are five meaningful, memorable ways to give this March—no boring gift baskets allowed.
1. Mardi Gras
Celebrate like you’re on Bourbon Street from anywhere in the world with products that capture the essence and party vibes of the occasion – local treats, bold colors, all the beads, and did we mention snacks?
Plenty of our past clients have used the vibrant culture and flavors of New Orleans to customize gifts for their events. So we’re positive a NOLA, Mardi Gras themed gift would be an enjoyable surprise delivered to anyone’s desk. The gift BECOMES the event.
2. Employee Appreciation Day
Show gratitude with gifts to take just-another-workday to the next level for your employees. Give chic yet practical products and merch for an office refresh. Or give something fun to use on their days off.
When it comes to these days of appreciation, our top recommendation is to not not do anything. Even a small gift shows initiative and thoughtfulness. And when people are appreciated, it shows. Trust us. Give your employees anywhere from a small gift to a grand gesture of thanks for everything they do. You’ll be glad you did.
3. International Women's Day
Whether you’re a woman-owned/operated powerhouse or you’re wanting to show your support – this global day of action for equality serves as an opportunity to elevate woman-owned makers and artists in gifts for the entire client list.
As one of the aforementioned woman-owned powerhouses, we love to love this day and what it represents. We have handfuls of vendors that we include in our work every chance we get, so if you’re looking to send something extra empowering and unique – we know a girl.
4. March Madness
Up the game and the company bracket challenge with a basketball themed gift. Even if your employees choose tournament winners based on mascot cuteness – these gift boxes are a change of pace and a conversation starter!
Does everyone get into college basketball? Of course not. But can most everyone be surprised by a hooper-themed gift with some snacks (everyone loves snacks) and some useful products – 100%!
With employee gift boxes like these – don’t overthink it! It’s unexpected. It’s colorful. It’s a community builder. And it’s fun.
5. First Day of Spring
New beginnings. Fresh vibes. And plenty of room for growth and getting outside. Kindly decline TLC’s pro tip, and instead encourage clients to chase waterfalls – figuratively and literally.
After making it through a long, cold winter, we’re pretty positive that a bright, encouraging client gift box would be the best welcome to a new quarter – a new season – and crushing new goals.
How to Stand Out With Your Corporate Gifting
Let’s face it—corporate gifting has a bit of a reputation. Predictable. Generic. Occasionally… forgettable. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right strategy (and a little style), your gift can be the one that gets remembered, re-shared, and talked about long after it’s been unboxed. Here’s how to make your gifting pop in all the right ways.
Prioritize Presentation
Yes, what’s inside matters—but how it looks when it lands on someone’s desk? That’s the first impression. Custom packaging, branded inserts, intentional product placement—every detail counts. Your gift should feel like an experience from the moment it arrives.
Be Purposeful, Not Just Pretty
Beautiful gifts get the camera out. Smart gifts build relationships. Go beyond the aesthetic and ask, “What do I want this gift to do?” Whether it’s warming up a lead or celebrating a milestone, let strategy drive the selection.
Make It Personal
Cookie-cutter is out. Personalized touches—like a custom note, niche product selection, or inside-joke-level branding—turn a good gift into a meaningful one. It shows your recipient you didn’t just send a box. You sent their box.
Partner with the Pros
Make Every Moment Gift-Worthy
You don’t need a national holiday or a peak season to send a standout gift—just a good reason (or honestly, a good vibe). When you use timely touchpoints like the ones March has to offer, gifting becomes more than a gesture. It becomes a strategy. A brand moment. A relationship builder.
Because here’s the truth: unforgettable gifts lead to unforgettable connections. They open doors, strengthen partnerships, and make people feel genuinely seen and appreciated. That’s the kind of impact that lasts way beyond the unboxing.
