Top Client Appreciation Gifts of 2023

Client gifts come in all sorts of themes and vessels depending on the business and the goal, and we’re here to showcase some of our favorite custom client appreciation gift designs from the past year. And, we've had some truly unique gift designs that we're excited to share!

Working with businesses for custom corporate client thank you and recognition gifts is a dream come true for our gifting team. While we design custom branded gift boxes that include thoughtful gift items that we know their clients will enjoy, the companies we are working are able to express genuine thanks to their clients, and earn repeat business or referrals.

At Marigold & Grey, we work together with companies to determine their specific gifting goals for their client appreciation gifts. Often, we choose a theme for the gifts that may coincide with an event where they’ll be presenting these gifts, or it may be a theme they’ve chosen that pairs well with their company's brand or corporate values. Between event themes and company branding, we develop a truly original gift design that meets the business’s goals and delivers a thoughtful gift to their clients that will make an impact long after the gift is delivered.

From thanking sponsors to recognizing loyal customers, let's unbox our top custom designed client and referral appreciation gift sets from this past year.
