Unique business gift basket ideas that’ll get them talking

Client gifts are a gesture of kindness, they show you’ve been listening, they show how thoughtful you are, and most of all, they leave a lasting impression on your clients.
1. All things premium. If you’re looking to give your customers a gift that will have them feeling special, a basket filled with all the finer, and luxurious, things in life is sure to make their day and keep them smiling for months to come. Consider an eye-catching levitating Bluetooth speaker, a few bottles of wine with a wine lover’s gift set, a Sherpa-lined throw or an executive junior power bank binder with USB drive closure.
2. Welcome back to the office care package. Whether they’ve been working from home for two or more years or they’ve been back in the office for a while, an in-office care package is sure to boost their mood and help you stay top of mind. Consider putting some snacks, noise-canceling headphones, hand sanitizer and blue light-blocking glasses into your basket.
3. Charcuterie board in a basket. Whether you’re buying a gift basket for a team or an individual, a charcuterie board is sure to please. They can snack on it all week long, share with a friend or bring it to their next gathering or meeting. Imprint your logo on the top of a king-sized charcuterie tin to keep your company top of mind with every bite they take.
4. Workday approved sips. If you don’t know your customer’s favorite foods or if they drink coffee or tea, try a gift basket filled with a variety of sip-related items. Include bags of coffee grounds, tins of tea, branded mugs and custom water bottles to provide a variety of beverage options.
5. Stay well basket. You’ve heard of a ‘Get Well’ basket; a ‘Stay Well’ basket is similar in nature, but you send it when someone is feeling just fine. Filled with vitamins, custom water bottles, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer and face masks, a ‘Stay Well’ gift basket can help your recipients fight germs and viruses and hopefully avoid getting sick!
6. A ‘You got promoted!’ basket. In your customer’s professional life, getting a promotion is a big milestone, so why not help them celebrate with a basket filled with all the goodies they need to celebrate? Include a few customized champagne flutes and a bottle of their favorite bubbly, a customized messenger bag, chocolates, coffee and a branded mug.
7. A Happy Birthday basket. Birthdays (or your birthday week/month) bring out the celebratory spirit in many people (although we recognize not everyone enjoys getting another year older). For those clients of yours who enjoy having a day that honors their birth, consider filling a basket with a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant, a sweet treat (such as cookies, cake or chocolates), fun hats, noise makers, customized cups and more.
8. An anniversary celebration in a basket. Anniversaries—of working together or of your client working for their current employer—are worth celebrating! Whether it’s a 1-year, 5-year or 30-year anniversary, help your clients celebrate the thousands of minutes, hours and days they’ve poured into their work with wine and champagne (don’t forget the customized champagne flutes), chocolates, king-sized charcuterie tin and a customized paper weight.
9. A congratulations on your new baby/adoption/pet basket. Bringing new life into this world is a reason to celebrate. Help congratulate your client on the arrival of their baby, adoption of a child or the adoption of a pet, with a basket filled with a combination of celebratory items and things they will need to care for their loved one. For babies, diapers, wipes and books are all great ideas. For adoptions, consider picture frames, customized adoptive parents + child shirts or a customized stuffed animal with the adoption day imprinted. For a pet, consider filling it with toys, cleaning supplies (especially if the adopted pet is young), a customized stuffed animal or a picture frame to help them commemorate the occasion for years to come.
10. Finished Big Project at Work. While some projects come and go quickly, others take months or years of extensive planning, diligent task tracking and hours upon hours of work. Once the project is finished, it’s time to celebrate! Gift them a basket filled with things to acknowledge their accomplishment and help them celebrate, such as a thumbs-up phone holder or thumbs-up notebook, high-five hand sanitizer and some snacks.
