Client Christmas Gift FAQs: Corporate Etiquette and Best Practices
Match spend to the relationship and your budget. For broad lists, $15–$35 works. For key accounts, $50–$100. VIP or long-term partners can go higher. Keep amounts consistent across similar accounts and follow your company policy.
Gift cards are safe when paired with a short handwritten note and a local merchant pick. Alcohol only if you know the client’s policy and preferences. Many companies restrict it. When in doubt, choose sharables like gourmet snacks or coffee and tea sets.
Light branding is best. Subtle logos or initials on practical items like tumblers, lap desks, blankets, ring lights, umbrellas, or wax seal kits turn a present into a business gift without feeling salesy. Avoid heavy branding on apparel or anything size-specific.
Ship in early to mid-December, or send a New Year gift the first week of January to avoid the rush. Confirm a shipping address, especially for remote teams. Include a short note that thanks them, names the project or win you appreciate, and adds one line about why you chose the gift.
How Do You Know What Gifts To Give Your Clients?
Client gifts are a great way to foster a business relationship during the holiday season. The best corporate gifts are the tried and true ones you often think of – holiday gift baskets with food items baskets or snack baskets with savory snacks, a floral arrangement, charitable donations or gift cards.
All great ideas, but not ones that are really outside the box.
They may also appeal to a very corporate environment, but what about a client appreciation gift that speaks to a younger demographic? Or one that may be largely female?
Times they are a changing, and what may have been great client holiday gifts 20 years ago, are not necessarily the type of client gifts that may resonate today.
What client gifts work for remote teams and hybrid offices?
This list is designed to appeal to a wide range of client relationships, so some may be outside the norm for what you typically think of as client gifts. For example, great gift ideas for clients who work remotely may include ring lights, lapdesks, portable chargers, large umbrellas, and lightly branded drinkware with names or initials.
Of course, you know your client, and your client relationship, better than anyone, so view these from that lens to find the perfect gift!
Plus, if the gifts listed are not *quite right,* our hope is that it will inspire ideas for you to think of the special gift that perfectly suits your client.
Remember, most of these items instantly become business gifts by adding a logo! Embroidered, screen printed or via sticker, adding a logo to a super cool gift is a great idea to give a new client or established client, a gift they will love and still keep it professional.
If nothing seems quite right, there is no shame in writing out a handwritten note and giving a gift card to a great local restaurant or shop.
What are the best Christmas gifts for clients in 2025?
Ring Light
The online world is thriving, with many people working from home, working remotely, or a hybrid of some sort. Teams meetings, Zoom and Facetime are common, but we all know what it looks like when the person is back lit. You can’t see them at all!
A ring light that clips to their laptop or phone will make them look good! Plus, they won’t tell you this, but they will like it because they can use it for their side hustles, vlogs, and anything else the do in the virtual world.
Iced Coffee Glass
These are preferred by those who love iced coffee, and you can add a personal touch with their initial or the company logo to the glass as well.
Logo Wax Seal
We love the look and vibe of a wax seal – they just make everything seem expensive. Plus, they are fun to do. Give a gift of a company logo on the stamp and it will be a completely unique corporate holiday gift.
Boot Dryer
Ok but hear me out. We know this is definitely unconventional, but we love our boot dryer.
We thought of this first as great client gift ideas for those who work in the field in some way. But, it works just as well for slippers or any type of shoe.
If your client doesn’t just work behind a desk, but is out on jobsites or travels and might get caught in weather from time to time (real estate agent comes to mind), a boot dryer is such a luxury. It gets the footwear nice and dry and warm for when they need to put them on the next time.
YETI Cooler
We love YETI products and, like their cups or coffee mugs, YETI’s coolers are top notch. This is one of the business gifts that everyone will be delighted to receive.
Lamp & Blanket
Thinking along the lines of coziness, this office lamp puts off soft, ambient light rather than the harsh overhead light that may not be ideal, especially if they do a lot of digital work.
Pair it with a gorgeous blanket, and that is a cozy gift many would be thrilled to receive.
Lapdesk with Built In Mouse Pad
This is an amazing gift idea for those who work from home, are hybrid, or who work completely digitally. You can sit comfortably on the couch or hang out in bed, and have a little set up perfect to be productive while being super comfy and cozy.
Hand Massager
This would be a most unexpected, yet intriguing and delightful gift to receive. Personal hand massage with heat is a decadent and and amazing gift idea.
Large Umbrella
We always loved to get these as a gift during the holiday season. A good umbrella is not something you think of – until you need one. Then it is so nice to have it, and a large size one is absolute luxury.
This one comes in so many different colors, you can go the extra mile to make a lasting impression by adding a company logo and along with a special message in your accompanying card to make an exceptional corporate holiday gift.
Custom Map of City
This is a customized gift that focuses on the city, state or neighborhood of your client. You can design it however you want, as well as get it framed in the perfect style, for a great piece of artwork for their offices.
Heated Accessories
Whether your client is always cold, or has sore, achy muscles from exercise, injury, or just day to day life, a heated accessory can be the ultimate in luxury. We have featured a heating pad for back and shoulder pain, as well as something more geared towards perhaps a younger client gift – a heated squishmallow.
Aromatherapy Scent Diffuser
This aromatherapy diffuser isn’t just going to make any office space smell amazingly great, it is also a work of art in its own right! Include some essential oils and you will immediately improve their office or home aesthetic.
Portable Charger
In today’s day and age, it is essential to stay, and be, connected at all times. This portable charger power bank is a great gift idea that everyone will find useful.
Bluetooth Speaker
These are super popular, and for good reason! They come in handy so many times!
Drone
This is a great, unique gift idea especially if your client is really into gadgets. Drones are used for so many reasons, including a lot that can be applied to marketing for businesses.
Record Player
If you know your client really well, or know that they have a thing for music, getting a record player with some of their favorite vinyl albums is a brilliant gift! The one featured here comes in a lot of different colors, so there are lots of options to fit their aesthetic.
If you like the idea of having it built into a briefcase, check out that style here.
Bluetooth Headphones
These headphones are an impressive gift for a client who likes to listen to music, books or podcasts as well as virtual classes. Both a stylish gift as well as practical, this will be something anyone would be thrilled to get.
Grill Accessories
This grilling kit is really smart, with the grilling baskets plus sprayer and other accessories. Something every grill master would love to have.
Smart Watch
He might think you went overboard – but check out that price! So reasonable! Honestly, we are stunned at how good smart watches can be at these lower price points. Giving a watch is a classic corporate gift – this is the modern twist on it!
Funny Candy Dish
Is your client a creative type? Do they love kitsch and whimsy? A practical gift may not be something they relate to! This, however, is a gift they will love – plus be great as a conversation starter in a corporate environment. It comes in a lot of different colors to choose from.
