High-End & Luxury Corporate Gifts
In the world of corporate gifting there has been a shift towards premium gifts. Today, companies recognise the importance of recognising staff and clients with sophisticated and thoughtful high-end gifts. Whether it’s to say a heartfelt ‘Thank you’, to strengthen your business relationships, or to incentivise and appreciate employees, luxury corporate gifts make a lasting impression.
Gift Innovations are experts in corporate gifting – we create branded merchandise and corporate gifts that resonate with your clients, employees and prospects. Here, we explore some high-end corporate gift ideas that will help you to make a real statement.
Premium Corporate Gifts: Setting the standard
When you give premium corporate gifts, they reflect your company’s values and commitment to excellence. When you are looking for premium gifts, always focus on quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Consider timeless items such as premium brand watches or exclusive gift sets. International brands like Seiko, Victorinox and Waterford Crystal convey prestige and appreciation. Brands like Foxford Woolen Mills convey comfort and sustainability. Premium corporate gifts also showcase your commitment to excellence and a local, low carbon economy.
High-end Promotional Products: Making a lasting Impression
Promotional products are a great way to increase brand visibility and leave a lasting impression on clients and staff. However, step away from generic giveaways by investing in high-end promotional items that reflect the quality and prestige of your brand. Choose quality over quantity and select products that employees and clients will love to use. How about a Herschel rucksack for staff returning to the office or a North Face bag to carry their kit to and from the gym. In other words, give quality, well known and widely appreciated brands. Gifts like these leave a lasting impression while simultaneously strengthening your relationships.
Unique Corporate Gifts: Thinking outside the box
When thinking about corporate gifts, uniqueness is key. Be bold and consider items that showcase your creativity and innovation. Unique corporate gifts are noticed by clients and demonstrate that you are capable of thinking outside the box. What about a custom golf umbrella to grab the attention of prospective customers. Dramatic full panel designs, reflecting your unique brand and pantone colours will elevate your brand and brighten up those dull, rainy days. We are naturally creative at Gift Innovations and we thrive on opportunities to create unique corporate gifts for our clients.
Irish Corporate Gifts: Embracing heritage and tradition
With a rich cultural heritage and a tradition of craftsmanship, Ireland offers a wide range of high-quality products that make ideal corporate gifts. Handmade ceramics from Louis Mulcahy and Nicholas Mosse. Indulgent chocolates from Skellig Chocolates and Wildes Irish Chocolates. Selecting Irish corporate gifts also reduces the carbon footprint, protects livelihoods and supports local business.
If you are looking for wellness gifts then Irish producers have you covered. We offer Max Benjamin’s large range of relaxing and rejuvenating products from creams to fragrance diffusers. Green Angel presents organic pampering gifts for men and women. The Handmade Soap Company have travel pack-sized gifts as well as beautifully fragranced hand creams and soaps. Irish corporate gifts celebrate Irish designers, the country’s unique culture and heritage, while making a statement of sophistication and refinement.
High-End Promotional Items- Onboarding packs
Onboarding packs are used to welcome new recruits onboard and they help to familiarise employees with your company culture. We recommend practical, high-end promotional products that employees will need when they start their new role. From quality branded pens and notebooks to laptop backpacks and umbrellas, employees will begin to feel at home when they receive your welcome onboard pack. You can also include fun promotional products like socks with your brand design, and delicious goodies such a Skellig Chocolates with a welcome card.
Swag boxes are also used to welcome new customers onboard, at conferences or for client events. These branded swag boxes include promotional products, goodies and promotional literature, or they can be used as a Christmas corporate gift to give to top clients.
High-Quality Packing: Sending the right message
A presentation box can help to catapult your gift beyond the ordinary. The presentation box can reflect your brand design and include a branded postcard with your message. We advise clients to think carefully about packaging and the presentation of their gifts. Show your customers and employees that you care about the environment by avoiding excess and choosing presentation boxes and packaging that are fully recyclable. Presentation boxes serve to protect its contents, provide an easy way to distribute gifts, and they can also promote your brand in a positive light. Make sure that your packing sends the right message to your clients.
High-End Office Gifts: Enhancing the workplace experience
Many staff have returned to working in the office – at least for part of the week. Once again, creating a positive office-based work culture is essential to building employee satisfaction and retention. Some high-end office gifts are an great way to show appreciation and to incentivise your employees. At a very practical level, employees will need reusable water bottles and cups, as most organisations are eliminating single use bottles and cups. Ensure that branded mugs are spill-proof with secure lids, and double-walled to keep drinks warm for up to 5 hours.
High-End Corporate Apparel: Dressing for success
Corporate apparel is an excellent way to promote your brand while making sure your staff look professional and suave! Investing in high-end corporate branded apparel, such as organic cotton hoodies, hard wearing fleeces or softshell gilets or jackets is the only way to go. There is no doubt that employees appreciate brands such as North Face, Rab and Patagonia. Employees are proud brand ambassadors wearing premium brand jackets, branded with your logo. Employees are fashion conscious, brand conscious, and they have never been more conscious of the environment, so choose high-end corporate apparel.
Branded Tech Gifts: Embracing innovation
People really do love a good tech gift! Gadgets are always popular among our clients and their employees. They also make a great Christmas gift for clients. The latest branded tech gifts showcase your company’s commitment to innovation and excellence. They also keep your brand in the forefront of your client’s mind year-round. A favourite is the induction charger ‘tree’, which fast charges a phone, watch and EarPods. This is a great gift for employees and customers on the go, ensuring that all their personal devices are charged.
Luxury Custom Drinkware: Toasting to success
Luxury drinkware is a classic choice that never goes out of style. Whether it’s a set of Waterford Crystal whiskey glasses or a pair of champagne flutes, luxury drinkware adds a touch of sophistication to any occasion. There is also the option to customise the drinkware with your company logo or a personalised message to make the gift truly memorable and meaningful. For daily use, luxury custom drinkware, branded with your logo, are always well received. Think of brands such as Yeti, Contigo and Chilly’s to really excite your customers and employees.
Premium Awards – Celebrate your winners
Your company may want to present successful members of staff or special customers with premium awards, made from crystal glass or wood. These can be personalised for those special occasions or celebrations with your logo, message and the recipient’s name. Awards come in a range of sizes and materials. Wooden or bamboo awards are a great way of recognising your winners, while also demonstrating your commitment to the environment. If you require bespoke awards for a prestigious awards ceremony, the team at Gift Innovations can help you to source or design suitable awards.
Premium Sustainable Corporate Gifts – Reduce, reuse, recycle
We have all become very aware of the importance of sustainability within our supply chains. Sustainability also applies to the premium luxury corporate gifts we give. So, when considering the gifts you plan to give, offer the best quality gifts you can afford within your budget. Consider offering one or two quality, more expensive gifts. Rather than a generic branded cup, offer your staff and clients branded reusable cups and bottles from Circular&Co. They use waste materials to make new products that are then fully recyclable. They reuse the same materials repeatedly to help build a circular economy.
High-end corporate gift ideas for your business
High-end and luxury corporate gifts are more than just tokens of your appreciation. Rather, view them as tools you can use to build, then strengthen your internal and external business relationships. By investing in premium gifts that reflect the quality, sophistication, and the values of your brand, you make a lasting impression on clients and employees alike. Whether it’s a personalised leather notebook or a sumptuous box of artisan chocolates, high-end corporate gifts will leave a lasting impression, while elevating your corporate brand.
