Top Corporate Holiday Custom Gifts Designs of the Year

Holiday gifting is one of the most powerful opportunities of the year to make people feel genuinely appreciated. When done well, a holiday gift becomes more than an obligatory seasonal gesture. It becomes a reflection of a company's brand values, relationships, and the care behind the connection. From client appreciation and employee recognition to executive and corporate gifting, custom holiday gifts set the tone for how a brand shows gratitude during the holidays and at the end of the year.

At Marigold & Grey, we design custom holiday gifting experiences that feel intentional, elevated, and deeply personal. Each custom holiday gift is thoughtfully curated to reflect the recipient, the brand behind it, and, of course, the spirit of the holiday season. This year, we had the privilege of designing a wide range of standout holiday gifts across various brand aesthetics, gifting goals, and industries from tech to hotels and every field in between.

We are sharing our most memorable and beautifully executed custom holiday gift designs of the year. Each project highlights how thoughtful design, branded details, and carefully sourced high end gift contents come together to create gifts that feel meaningful and memorable long after the holidays end.

Let’s take a closer look at Marigold & Grey’s top holiday custom gift designs of the year.
