Top Custom Corporate Holiday Gifts

When designing business gifts for the holiday season, we are always striving for gifts that have a bit of a 'wow' factor and will stand out. Whether you are in need of holiday gifts for a long time, loyal clients, or want to show appreciation for your hard-working staff, why not create memorable gifts that will be appreciated long after the holidays are over? 

The start of a new year always has us looking back at our favorite custom gift designs from the past year as we prepare for a productive year ahead. We've already been down memory lane with our top custom corporate client and employee appreciation gifts, and our top custom wedding welcome gifts. It's so hard to play favorites! 

While we may still be recovering from the hustle and bustle of the busy holiday season, we wanted to highlight our favorite custom corporate holiday gifts from the past year.

At Marigold & Grey, we work closely with our corporate clients to create one of a kind holiday gift designs that are sure to be impactful and meaningful. No matter if they are looking for luxury gifts to thank their team members and employees for their dedication over the past year or want to send a special gift to customers and clients to let them know their loyalty is valued, we love curating unique gift sets to ring in the holiday season. 

From cozy and festive-themed gifts to interactive, memory-making gifts, and everything in between, our custom corporate holiday gifts were packed full of useful home decor items, tasty gourmet snacks and treats, tech items, cozy blankets, and more. Let’s take a closer look at our top custom corporate holiday gift designs.

Jet-Setters Holiday Gifts for Travel Agent Clients

When designing custom holiday gifts for a travel agency, you already have a great starting point for a themed holiday gift full of useful items. Ourisman Travel wanted to create luxurious holiday gifts for their clients that would be memorable and contain items that could be used time and time again. If your holiday customer gifts can double as a marketing item that keeps your business front of mind to your customers, it’s a win-win!

For these sleek and professional-looking holiday gifts with a jet-setters theme, we knew we had to start high-end with the gift bags. A Dagne Dover brand neoprene duffel bag in a chic, gender-neutral olive green shade was chosen for these custom holiday gift bags.

The carry-on bags were then filled with high-end items that could be used on upcoming trips, whether traveling for work or vacation, including a pair of Polarized sunglasses, a Dagne Dover brand glasses case, and a Hotel Lobby brand candle. A personalized gift note and custom-branded logo gift tag added the finishing touches to these travel-themed holiday gifts.

Chic and Festive Gifts for Ornament Exchange Party

For a holiday ornament exchange industry party at the Salamander Resort, we worked with Lauryn Prattes Events to create chic welcome gifts for her guests. Adding a festive holiday-themed welcome gift to the luxury holiday weekend retreat was the perfect finishing touch for the event attendees. To fit with the elegant resort vibes along with the polished company brand, we sourced high-end items to serve as memorable keepsakes for all of the recipients.

Tones of charcoal and ivory with pops of burgundy created an elegant but festive look to these custom holiday gifts. Each gift box contained dark chocolate Prosecco flavored cordials, locally made gourmet salted peanuts with a custom wax seal, a set of rose lollipops, a surge protector power strip in a satin pouch, a golden sun brooch, and a custom glass candle. A herringbone-patterned wrap sat atop each gift box, expertly tied with a satin burgundy ribbon and a custom gift tag.

Blue and White Artisanal Corporate Holiday Gifts

Our next top custom holiday gift proves that you don’t have to design holiday gifts in the standard red and green color palette to achieve a festive seasonally appropriate look. Clark Construction wanted to create custom holiday gifts for their clients that would feature their brand colors of blue and white and would also support small businesses. As a small business ourselves, team M&G was thrilled to hear this and dove right into finding unique gift items from small businesses.

Each business holiday gift box contained a custom notecard that explained each gift item and featured the business that produces the item. We sourced gift items to fit into the brand’s blue and white color palette as well.

Gift contents included a concrete salt cellar, flake salt, handmade dark chocolate granola, a gourmet chocolate bar, roasted cashews, a petite candle, fancy matches in a glass jar, and a handmade Turkish kitchen towel. A navy satin ribbon and custom-branded gift tag tied each gift together for an elegant final touch.

Luxury Charcuterie Board Holiday Client Gifts

For their top-tier client list, we collaborated with Aramark to design beautiful and elevated custom holiday gifts. The goal was to create professional gifts that would relate back to food, to honor their brand identity. We chose a neutral tones color palette with some darker tones and metal elements mixed in to create a luxury charcuterie gift that is sure to be memorable long after the holiday season ends.

For these high-end, custom charcuterie board-inspired gifts, we started with all the essentials any home cook would need, including a marble double salt cellar, salt and pepper seasonings, an olive oil and balsamic vinegar set, a stainless steel cheese knife set, a mini brass bowl, a striped Turkish tea towel, and a glass oil and vinegar cruet.

Pine boxes that tied into the natural tones of the overall gift design were topped with books selected by Aramark which were tied together with a charcoal grey ribbon and custom logo gift tag.

Togetherness-Inspired Tiered Corporate Holiday Gifts

“Together We Shine” was the theme behind these two-tiered custom holiday gifts for the Mayo Clinic. What a lovely sentiment to remember during the holiday season! The goal was to create two different unique holiday gift designs that would stand out on their own but also be cohesive as a set and provide their clients with useful home decor items to use during the holiday season.

The tier one gifts featured an elegant Diptyque brand gold candle snuffer and Diptyque scented matches along with a package of 12 tea light candles and a pair of small Orrefors carat crystal votives. Each gift set included a personalized, handwritten note and was completed with a bright blue ribbon and a custom logo gift tag.

Cozy and Festive Winter Holiday Gifts

St. Louis, Missouri-based Bommarito Construction wanted to thank their clients and customers with intentional holiday gifts that would stand out from last year’s gift designs. Gold accents elevated these red and neutral-toned custom gifts with a warm and cozy, festive vibe perfect for the snowy and cold holidays in Missouri.

Paying homage to the construction company's background, pine gift boxes were selected to anchor these holiday appreciation gift boxes that were filled with both useful items and tasty treats that were local to the St. Louis area. 

Artisan chai tea made in St. Louis can be enjoyed in a wood grain insulated tumbler mug while snacking on gourmet peppermint hot chocolate popcorn or gourmet holiday truffles also made locally in St. Louis. A custom debossed leather journal, a ‘merry and bright’ themed soy candle, and a gold pinecone accent rounded out these festive gifts. A soft knit blanket perfect for staying warm and cozy during the cold winter months topped each gift box that was tied with a bright red ribbon and a custom gift tag.

Bright and Modern Custom Holiday Client Gifts

Sungage Financial wanted to create unique and inclusive holiday gifts for everyone to enjoy. They wanted to include useful items but ensure the gifts still had a professional appearance and were true to their company's branding. We leaned into their brand colors of green and yellow to craft thoughtful holiday gifts with a modern and clean aesthetic with just a touch of playfulness.

We leaned into some of the traditional flavors of the holiday season by including peppermint hot chocolate, gourmet cocoa-dipped marshmallows, and sweet & salty popcorn. A reusable coffee mug was included as a keepsake item along with a custom embroidered pullover, and a juniper berry and fir-scented candle.

In addition to a custom gift notecard, Sungage also included an Amazon gift card for each of the recipients. The classic white gift boxes were tied off with a deep green satin ribbon and custom logo gift tag.

Custom Branded Cooler Holiday Gifts

We love it when the gift container, whether that be a tote bag, pine box, or cooler, is part of the gift itself - talk about 'wow factor' custom gifting! Patriot Dealerships wanted to design custom holiday gifts that would impress their employees and also show their appreciation for all of their staff member’s dedication and passion.

We started with Yeti hard coolers with a custom-branded decal with the company's logo that would make these holiday gifts instantly recognizable. Each cooler gift then had a custom appreciation notecard, a custom silicone ice cube tray, a set of two custom leather coasters, a set of two gold dipped stemless wine glasses, and a bottle of wine. The finishing touch was a custom logo gift tag tied onto the handle of each cooler.

Winter Wonderland Theme Corporate Holiday Gifts

Aligned Data Centers had the theme of “Winter Wonderland: Coming Home” in mind for their custom holiday gifts to thank their client base. They wanted the gifts to be cozy, have a wintery color palette that would match their brand aesthetic, and be full of useful items as well as gourmet treats. We settled on a color color scheme of neutrals, blues, silver, and white for an elevated winter wonderland holiday theme.

Silver gift boxes held a mix of luxe home decor items and artisan snacks, nestled in silver paper fill. Each gift contained a double-wick candle, fancy matches in a corked vial, and a silver candle snuffer.

For winter-inspired gourmet snacks, we sourced a small batch of vanilla cookies, a bar of artisan dark chocolate, and gourmet drinking chocolate. For a cozy finishing touch, each gift box was topped with a blue and white throw blanket. A custom-branded gift tag and satin navy ribbon tied each gift together for an elegant look.

Holiday Brunch Themed Gourmet Corporate Gifts

We love a food-themed custom gift that is interactive because it’s two gifts in one - the actual gift items and then the experience of creating with those items. For their custom holiday gifts, First American wanted to create holiday gifts with a focus on supporting Native American-owned businesses. Through intentional sourcing, we curated a thoughtful holiday brunch-themed gift that features a range of indigenous-owned products for the recipients to enjoy.

A color palette of warm neutrals and gold accents set the stage for these brunch-inspired gift sets. Inside each ivory gift box, recipients found four tea packets, pure cinnamon honey sticks, pomegranate lemonade, maple syrup, chocolate truffle almonds, wild rice pancake mix, and a striped tea towel.

A gold pinecone accent added an elevated wintery touch and tied into the gold foil featured on the gift note and custom gift tag. The gift notecard in each gift highlighted the Native American brands that were included in these custom gift sets. A branded, gold foil bellyband added the final elegant touch to these brunch-themed gift sets.
