Ready to Make Your Holiday Gifts Unforgettable?
Looking to dazzle clients and employees with meaningful holiday gifts? This year, skip the impersonal fruit baskets and forgettable gift cards. Instead, lean into thoughtful, memorable gifts that reflect today’s gifting trends—and let Thoughty help you plan ahead.
1. Plan Ahead
Holiday gifting season is like the Super Bowl for gifting companies. By starting early, you can:
-
Secure in-demand products. Many of the artisan makers we partner with book up quickly.
-
Simplify logistics. When you lock in a gifting partner early, you get full-service support—design, sourcing, packaging, and delivery—so you can focus on your Q4 goals.
- Reduce stress. Carriers are busier than ever at the end of the year. Early orders ensure your gifts arrive on time and stress-free.
2. Send at the Right Time
When you send your gift matters just as much as what you send. Here are three great options:
-
Before Thanksgiving – An “I’m Thankful for You” gift feels authentic and stands out before the holiday rush.
-
Early December – The first week of December is prime gifting time—your package will arrive before the deluge of deliveries.
-
Early January – A thoughtful way to kick off the new year and welcome recipients. Trend data highlights wellness packages and cozy essentials as standout choices this time of year.
3. Follow the 2025 Gifting Trends
Personalization
Recipients want gifts that feel chosen for them. Incorporating subtle customizations—like brand-matched colors or a handwritten note—creates a deeper connection.
Elevated Experiences
From cozy self-care kits to gourmet tasting boxes, gifts that offer an experience (not just a product) create stronger memories.
Sustainability
Eco-friendly packaging and ethically made goods aren’t just “nice to have” anymore—they’re expected. Supporting small businesses and
responsible makers reflects well on your brand.
Luxury Touches
There’s a shift toward quality over quantity. Premium items—like fine chocolates, beautifully crafted home goods, or specialty stationery—make a bigger impact and last longer than disposable gifts.
Tech Add-Ons
Digital touches like a QR code linking to a video message or a custom playlist add a layer of surprise and engagement.
4. Presentation is Everything
The unboxing experience matters. Premium packaging, a beautiful bow, and thoughtful details elevate your gift and make it feel special. Subtle branding—through tissue, tags, or stationery—keeps the focus on gratitude while still reinforcing your company’s identity.
5. Add the Personal Touch
Never underestimate the power of a message. A handwritten note or personalized card turns a lovely gift into something memorable. Whether you’re thanking a client, celebrating a milestone, or wishing someone well for the year ahead, words of appreciation go a long way.
