If you want to thank a client, impress a prospect, or show your team they're valued, gifting still works. But generic gift cards and logo mugs won’t cut it anymore.
This year, luxury corporate gifting is about quality, brand alignment, and experience. It’s not about how much you spend. It’s about how it lands.
Here’s what today’s best corporate gifts have in common and how to make sure your next campaign actually makes an impact.
1. Thoughtful Beats Flashy
Gifting isn’t just a gesture. It’s a reflection of how your business operates. Whether you’re sending a £40 box or a £200 one, people notice the details.
A luxury gift should feel considered, not mass-produced.
- What this looks like in practice:
- Curated gift boxes with high-quality, practical items
- Packaging that feels intentional (not branded for branding’s sake)
- A personal note written in your tone of voice
At SHOPBOXD, we’ve helped teams move from random product bundles to bespoke boxes that feel like a natural extension of their brand.
2. It’s Not “Just a Gift” - It’s Part of the Brand Experience
What you send is what your recipients associate with you.
Sending a branded box with stale snacks and cheap pens says something. So does sending a box that looks like it was packed with care, by a company that gets it.
We’ve seen luxury gifting used for:
- New client onboarding
- Deal closure thank-yous
- Employee care packages during crunch periods
- Holiday gifting (for clients or teams)
- Event follow-ups or virtual goodie bags
The right gift isn’t just polite, it builds brand equity.
3. You Don’t Need to Spend £300 per Box to Make it Feel Premium
Luxury isn’t just about cost, it’s about curation.
We’ve helped companies send beautiful, well-received gifts at every budget level. What matters is the clarity of the message, the feel of the packaging, and the usefulness of the contents.
A simple thank-you box with great snacks, a quality notebook, and a handwritten message can sometimes get more response than a bottle of wine with your logo slapped on it.
4. Make It Scalable, But Still Personal
If you’re sending 10 boxes, you probably know who they’re going to. If you’re sending 200, you might not. Either way, it still needs to feel personal.
That’s where thoughtful fulfilment and attention to detail come in, and where working with the right partner matters.
