The complete guide to corporate gift ideas
Aug 22
Corporate gifts are an excellent way for a company to show appreciation and goodwill to its employees, clients, partners, or other stakeholders and foster business relationships.
These gifts can range from simple items like branded merchandise, such as pens, notebooks and branded drinkware, to more elaborate presents such as gourmet confectionery, smart tech, or even personalised items.
Whether you’re hosting an event, marking special occasions, celebrating important milestones like work anniversaries, launching a new product or giving a seasonal gift, we can help you find memorable and unique corporate gifts that will make an impression.
So, what are the benefits of corporate gifts?
There are a multitude of benefits associated with corporate gifting and businesses that do it well will strengthen business relationships, improve brand loyalty and boost brand perceptions.
If you want to increase brand awareness, branded corporate gifts can also be used to increase visibility and aid brand recall when used at tradeshows events and through promo campaigns, making corporate gifts and effective marketing tools too.
Corporate gifts don’t need to be just reserved for valued clients and prospective customers either. In fact, businesses that use gifting to reward teams and boost employee engagement can also improve morale, motivation and productivity.
So, whether you’re looking for a gift to improve client retention, a promotional gift to entice new customers or a special gift to reward hard working teams, we can help you create memorable experiences that create the perfect impression.

Our favourite examples of corporate gifts
Summer gifts for the team
The challenge: Speedy approached us because they wanted to create a special moment for their team and gift something that would encourage family time. The gifts needed to be dispatched to all 3200+ employees, so it had to be compact and easy to post.
Our solution: We developed a fun Summer/BBQ Wellbeing Kit that was full of high-quality items to create the perfect family BBQ moment. This gift kit included a Bluetooth speaker, bottle opener, apron and postcard – presented in a postal box with a printed belly band.
The result: Packs were fulfilled and delivered. The kit was very well received by the Speedy team and created a real buzz. As a result, we were asked to produce further gift kits.
Internal team launches
The challenge: On the Beach wanted us to create a special holiday/beach kit for an internal team launch with gifts being sent directly to over 700 team members.
Our solution: We created the ultimate travel kit, including a brightly coloured beach towel, travel pillow and sleep set, notebook and beach ball, all packed in a branded tote beach bag.
The result: The team loved their special travel kits and helped generate lots of UGC across their socials which created a FOMO moment with engaged audiences online, with On the Beach customers desperate to get their hands on the exclusive kit.
Luxury corporate gifts
The challenge: Liverpool FC wanted to do something extra special for their corporate guests who were attending a home game at the ground over the Easter weekend.
Our solution: We’re chocolate lovers here at A.D. so we knew an Easter-themed gift box would be the perfect gift! The Easter gift hamper was supplied in a luxury LFC-branded gift box with a gold ribbon and full of a delicious selection of chocolate eggs, and salted caramel chocolates, all individually packaged and branded with the LFC logo.
The result: We received excellent feedback on the quality and final appearance of the gift. The concept was so well-received that the club ordered an additional 50 hampers for VIPs attending the FC Porto vs Liverpool FC match (delivered directly to Portugal), which took place a few days prior to the original event date.
