Christmas Gifts for Employees and Clients in Ireland
Christmas gifts for employees and clients are easiest to get right when the gift feels generous without feeling overly corporate.
The best starting point is not the logo on the box. It is the person receiving it.
How much should you spend on employee Christmas gifts?
There is no single correct budget. What matters most is consistency.
If you are buying for a team, set a clear per-person budget before you start. That makes ordering easier and avoids awkward differences between gifts.
A smaller team may justify a higher individual spend. For a large workforce, a lower but consistent budget can work better.
How much should you spend on client Christmas gifts?
Client gifts depend on the relationship and the client's own gift policy.
Before ordering an expensive gift, check whether the organisation has a value limit or policy around accepting corporate gifts. A well-chosen modest gift is often safer than something overly lavish.
A few Christmas gift ideas
Should corporate Christmas gifts include alcohol?
Not automatically.
Alcohol can exclude people for religious, medical, personal or lifestyle reasons. Unless you know the recipient would genuinely appreciate it, an alcohol-free gift is often the more inclusive option.
Books, chocolate, biscuits, candles, skincare, stationery and other useful treats can still make a substantial Christmas gift.
What makes an employee Christmas gift feel less corporate?
A personal message helps more than extra branding.
Thank the person for something specific if possible, and choose items that feel like a gift rather than office merchandise.
Company branding can be useful, but it does not need to dominate the gift.
Can you send employee gifts to multiple home addresses?
Yes. This is especially useful for hybrid and remote teams.
If you are sending individual gifts to different addresses, prepare the recipient list carefully and decide whether every gift will be the same or whether there are different versions for dietary or other requirements.
For larger orders, it is usually easier to agree the products, budget and delivery plan before collecting final addresses.
What about one large gift for an office?
A shared office gift can work well where the team is normally together.
Choose items that are easy to share, such as individually wrapped treats, and avoid relying entirely on one person's taste.
Christmas gifts for clients
Client gifts should feel appreciative rather than promotional.
A handwritten message thanking them for their business during the year can make a relatively simple gift feel much more considered.
If you know the client well, you can choose around their interests. If not, neutral gifts such as books, chocolates, candles and Irish-made products are easier to get right.
Christmas gifts for employees
For employees, consistency and inclusivity matter. Check dietary requirements, avoid assumptions about alcohol, and remember that the gift should feel like thanks rather than another work task.
Current corporate gift options
If you want a simple starting point, our Employee Appreciation Gift is currently €29.95 per gift, while the Corporate Gift Box starts at €35.
For a higher-value or longer-lasting gift, the Business Book Subscription starts at €75.
For larger Christmas orders, we would still recommend using the corporate service rather than placing dozens of individual orders, particularly if gifts are going to multiple addresses.
