You’ve chosen your venue, your entertainment, your menu. What about the free gifts? Whether it’s a useful gift that people will use again and again, or a quirky present to raise a smile on the day, giving out gifts at your corporate event is a way to make the day memorable. Giving something that’s useful or unique means people are more likely to use it and remember your company’s event.
When selecting gifts to give at your corporate event, think about how they will reflect your company’s values as well as how they will fit into your event. Will you be giving gifts at the beginning of the event, maybe something that will be a useful conversation starter? Or as a “thank you” at the end? Whatever you decide, here are some ideas to get you started.
Foodie gifts
Everything from chocolate bars and truffles to mini sticks of rock can be personalised and they make a fantastic gift to finish off any corporate event. From a box of mini muffins at a breakfast meeting to some after dinner mints for a more formal event, food gifts are always a winner.
For something a little bit different at an evening event, how about personalised miniatures? Or single-serve bottles of fizz? If you’re hosting a family event, personalised cookies will go down a treat with employees children, maybe their favourite cartoon character, or their name.
Stationary
Pens, pencils, notebooks. All handy gifts as well as brilliant advertising for your company. Hosting a family fun day? Don’t forget the little people at your event. Personalised packets of crayons or pencils will keep them amused while parents are socialising with colleagues. Or why not put together a colouring book? You can tailor them to suit the theme of your event, or maybe even your business.
Gadgets and Novelties
From the useful personalised power bank to unlimited fun of a personalised puzzle. USB sticks, key rings, stress balls are all things that are easy for people to take home with them to use again. Amusing gifts are often well received. How about a “Recovery Kit” for the morning after the company Christmas party?
Goodie bags
Our love of party bags doesn’t stop as we get older. There is something about receiving a surprise gift that is exciting, even as an adult. So why not hand out goodie bags at your corporate event. They can be personalised to suit your business or the style of your event- champagne truffles for a black tie event, personalised company merchandise for a networking lunch. Maybe you’re hosting a circus-themed family fun day for your employees so how about some popcorn and an individual bottle of fizzy drink? Scented candles, gift vouchers, the possibilities are endless and whilst they might not rival the goodie bags given out at the Oscars, they are sure to be a hit with employees and their families.
