The holiday season is the perfect time for companies to show appreciation—whether it’s thanking employees for their hard work or strengthening client relationships. But planning corporate gifting can often feel overwhelming. Between balancing budgets, selecting meaningful gifts, and ensuring timely delivery, it’s easy for holiday prep to feel like a chore.
With PerfectGift.com, corporate gifting becomes simple, creative, and fully customizable. Our holiday prep blog is packed with strategies to help your team approach gifting with confidence this season. Here’s how to make every gift memorable.
1. Plan Ahead to Avoid the Rush
Starting early is key to stress-free holiday gifting. Planning ahead allows you to:
- Lock in budgets and approvals.
- Access the best gift options before they sell out.
- Avoid last-minute shipping fees or delays.
A clear gifting timeline ensures your program runs smoothly from start to finish. Planning ahead also gives you the flexibility to create thoughtful, personalized gifts that employees and clients will truly appreciate.
2. Personalize and Brand Every Gift
Generic gifts are forgettable. Adding thoughtful, branded touches transforms a simple gesture into a meaningful experience. PerfectGift makes personalization easy:
- Add your company logo – Place your logo on the prepaid card, packaging, or both to create a professional and recognizable gift.
- Customize the design – Select colors, patterns, and templates that reflect your company’s brand, or create your own design for a unique touch.
- Full custom greeting cards – Include a personal or group message in your digital or printed card to make each gift feel thoughtful and memorable.
- Co-branded cards for clients – Showcase your company alongside a partner or campaign, giving client gifts a polished, professional appearance.
Why This Matters
Personalized and branded gifts don’t just say “thank you”—they reinforce your company’s identity and values. Employees feel recognized, clients feel appreciated, and every touchpoint becomes an opportunity to strengthen relationships.
Research supports the impact of recognition: according to Gallup, employees who feel appreciated are more productive, engaged, and less likely to leave their jobs (Gallup, 2020). Similarly, Achievers reports that 60% of Americans feel meaningfully recognized at work, compared to the global average of 52% (Achievers, 2025).
3. Impress Without Overspending
You don’t have to stretch your budget to create an impactful gift. Prepaid gift cards—digital or physical—offer flexibility and value. They’re practical, always appreciated, and eliminate the hassle of returns or exchanges.
PerfectGift makes it simple to manage gifting at scale, helping you deliver meaningful gifts while staying within budget. According to Bundled Gifting, for every dollar spent on corporate gifting, businesses often see an ROI of up to 5x in client retention and employee engagement (Bundled Gifting, 2025).
4. Think Beyond the Gift
Presentation is everything. Even small touches can turn a practical gift into a memorable experience:
- Use holiday-themed or branded card designs.
- Include personalized messaging that resonates with the recipient.
- Consider team gifts or bundled packages to create a shared experience.
Forbes highlights that companies who celebrate employee achievements and give thoughtful rewards experience 31% higher productivity and stronger employee morale (Forbes, 2020). With thoughtful presentation, your gifts can become a highlight of the holiday season.
