Tips for Stand-Out Gifts in 2025

Whether you’re currently gifting in your business, or curious to try: This post is for you. While sending gifts to your clients & customers might feel like a luxury, we view it as an essential part of a thoughtful client experience. We’ve seen firsthand the power of sending a well-timed, beautifully curated gift.

The most common side effects we’ve seen for businesses who send gifts: 

• Glowing reviews

• Increased word-of-mouth referrals

• More satisfied clients & customers

• Higher conversions & ROI

With all the buzz about gifting in your biz, where do you start? Below, you’ll find our top five tips for curating client and corporate gifts that truly stand out.

1. Design your gift as an experience for the recipient.

These days, people are craving experiences over stuff. However, this does not mean tangible gifts have gone by the wayside! Ideas include: A pizza & game night box that can be enjoyed with family or friends, a collection of calming items for a moment of self care, or a set of brunch goodies fit for a lazy Sunday morning. Create a cohesive experience with complementary items that truly set the tone.

2. Consider how you want your recipient to feel when receiving your gift.

Think about your intentions for sending this gift. Do you want to ease their mind about investing in your services? Are you hoping to build excitement around a certain step in your process? Think about your goal, and how you want the recipient to feel when they receive the gift. Let that guide the contents, color, and theme.

3. Think outside the box when it comes to color, texture, and items.

Trying to please a wide variety of people? Sticking with a neutral color palette may feel like the safest bet. And while we love a neutral moment, the most unforgettable gifts are often playful, unexpected and yes: colorful! Sending a gift with unique colors, patterns, and textures is sure to leave a lasting impression.

4. Don’t ignore your recipients’ preferences or needs.

Do your clients prefer herbal tea over coffee? Consider skipping the caffeine in your gifts. Do your customers value sustainable goods? Aim for eco-conscious items. While it’s impossible to please everyone, don’t forget to take their preferences and values into consideration. Your thoughtfulness will not go unnoticed!

5. Kick it up a notch with branded elements.

Adding your branding in a tasteful & subtle way can take your gift to the next level. While we don’t recommend all-branded swag, including 1-2 branded touches can make a big difference. This could include…products that reflect your brand colors, a custom logo belly band, custom notecards, and more. The sky is truly the limit!
