Branded corporate gifts are one of the most effective ways to keep your company front of mind with clients and employees.
Done well, they feel considered and generous. Done badly, they feel like marketing collateral that someone agreed to take home.
The difference comes down to product quality, packaging and the level of branding, and getting those three things right is exactly what we do.
What can be branded
The short answer: almost anything. Companies come to us with briefs ranging from fully branded outer packaging to individual branded products and most branded gifting programmes involve a combination of both.
Some of the most popular branded items we source and include in corporate gift boxes:
Reusable tumblers & cups
A consistently popular choice - used daily, visible in offices and on commutes.
Notebooks & notepads
A desk staple. Works for onboarding, client gifting and milestone sends.
Pens & writing instruments
From everyday ballpoints to premium options for executive gifting.
Chocolate & confectionery
Custom wrappers on premium bars - Tony's Chocolonely is a favourite.
Water bottles
Practical, well-received and carries brand visibility long after the gift is opened.
Tech accessories
Cables, chargers, earbuds - useful gifts that work across most audiences.
Tote bags & pouches
A practical outer layer that doubles as a branded touchpoint.
Candles & wellness items
Can be custom labelled or packaged with branded inserts.
Clothing & accessories
Socks, scarves, hats - branded apparel works well for team gifting.
If it's not on the list above, ask anyway. We source branded products regularly and work with suppliers across a wide range of categories. If it can be made, it can usually be branded.
Branded packaging options
Beyond the products themselves, packaging is where branding creates the strongest first impression. The unboxing moment, before a recipient has even seen what's inside, is an opportunity to reinforce your brand. These are the packaging options we offer:
Branded notecard or insert
A printed card with your logo, brand colours and a personal message. The most straightforward branding option and works at any budget level. Can include QR codes, personalised messages or campaign-specific copy.
Works for any gift, any occasion, any budget.
Branded sleeve
A printed card sleeve that wraps around the gift box makes your branding visible before the box is even opened. More presence than a notecard, faster to produce than a custom box.
A popular middle option for client and employee campaigns.
Custom printed box
A fully custom outer box printed in your brand colours and design. The highest-impact packaging option where the box itself becomes part of the gift. Every element of the unboxing experience carries your brand.
The right choice for large campaigns and high-value gifting.
Full campaign branding
Custom box, branded tissue, printed notecard, ribbon in brand colours, branded inserts; every element designed to your guidelines. Used by companies whose gifting needs to reflect the same quality as their product or service.
For enterprise campaigns and brand-led gifting programmes.
Getting the brief right
The best branded gifts start with a clear brief. The more we understand about your audience, your brand and your objectives, the better the result.
A few things that make a real difference:
- Brand guidelines or logo files - ideally in vector format. If you only have a jpeg, we'll work with it.
- Brand colours - in hex, Pantone or CMYK. This ensures printed elements match your brand accurately.
- Recipient profile - who are they, what do they do, what would feel right for them?
- Occasion - onboarding, end of year, client thank you, milestone? This shapes product selection.
- Budget per gift - even a rough range helps us propose the right options.
- Timeline - branded gifts typically require 3+ weeks from brief to delivery. The earlier we start, the more options are available.
On lead times
Branded corporate gifts typically start at a 3+ week lead time and a minimum order of 25 units, depending on the level of branding involved. If your timeline is tight, tell us; we'll always advise on what's achievable and make sure the result looks right regardless of the constraints.

We work with HR and People teams gifting new starters and employees, Marketing teams running client campaigns, EAs and Operations teams managing high-value sends, and enterprise teams running large-scale branded programmes. Recent clients include Klaviyo, Tipalti, Freshworks, Cisco and Dialpad.
