Looking for exceptional client gifts that make a lasting impression?

Strategic gift-giving goes beyond the holiday season. Whether you’re searching for corporate client gifts, personalized presents, or unique thank-you items, this comprehensive guide features over 150 carefully curated gift ideas your clients will actually like.

From luxury client gifts to budget-friendly options, we’ve organized these professional gifting suggestions into 17 distinct categories to help you find the perfect way to show your appreciation.

Let’s explore how to strengthen your business relationships through meaningful client gifts.

Treats … with a Twist

Treat boxes full of tasty snacks (like this one 😳) make excellent client gifts. There are so many creative options to fill boxes with your client’s favorite goodies but the more original you can be with these treat boxes, the better. Remember, depending on the size of business your client is running and the time of year, they might be receiving tons of treats. Do something to help yours stand out.

You can start with these ideas:

Insane Break Room Treat Box

Give your client a free pass from stocking their break room and fuel their team with all sorts of snacks for the office break room. You’ll be the hero of the office. You can even use something like CraveBox to automatically send them new treats on a regular basis.

Candy Bento Box

Fill a bento box with an assortment of fun candies or chocolate for the client with a sweet tooth. Or just use a company like Sugarfina to find the perfect candy bento box for your client.

Custom Lollipops

The store ‘Just Candy‘ can print your client’s logo or photo right onto the lollipop. This is probably one of the most unique edible gifts they’ll be talking about all over the office.

Mini, Premium Cupcakes

Baked by Melissa’s mini cupcakes taste gourmet but come in a size made for sampling. Arrange a fun assortment for your client and make them the office favorite as they pass around the box to share with their coworkers.

Gourmet Cookies

Give a box of fresh gourmet cookies from Christie Cookie Co. for the client who loves to munch on sweets. There’s nothing better than a really good fresh cookie.

Cupcake or Dessert Sampler

A decadent assortment of mini cupcakes, macarons, or chocolate truffles is a real treat. And the variety ensures there will definitely be at least one or two flavors your client really loves. They can share the rest.

DIY Cookie Decorating Kit

Include pre-made cookie dough, icing, and decorations so your client can channel their inner artist by decorating cookies before scarfing them down. Or, if you’re short on time, you can just buy a pre-made kit with all the stuff you need for your client to have a fun time decorating (and eating) cookies.

S’mores Kit

For the client who loves camping vibes, help them make the ultimate s’mores with marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. Plus a fun tabletop s’mores maker will have them talking about your for months.

International Snacks Box

Treat your client to exotic sweets and crunchy snacks from around the world to satisfy their sense of adventure. UniversalYums will send your client a new treat from a different country every month!

Custom Baked Goods

Work with a local bakery or a company like 4Imprint to make custom cookies, cakes, or pies just for your client. That extra effort takes a boring treat to the next level.

Popcorn and Movie Night Box

Get the popcorn popping with kernels, toppings, seasoning, candies – everything needed for an ideal movie night. For an added bonus just get this bundle which also includes a Redbox gift card for the perfect movie night.

Breakfast or Brunch Box

If your client is a morning person, surprise them one morning with pastries, sweet breads, jam, coffee, and other breakfast favorites delivered right to their office.

Chocolate Lover’s Box

Curate a box filled with gourmet chocolate bars, truffles, nuts, pretzels, and anything cocoa. If you want to get really elaborate, get a fancy collection of chocolates from somewhere like Compartes.

Gourmet Snack Box

Sometimes, the lat thing your client wants is another sugary treat during the holidays. In that case, try a gourmet snack box with dried fruit, nuts, crackers, cheese, and charcuterie pairings.

Gift Boxes or Baskets

Pre-packaged gift boxes take the guesswork out of giving. Choose a theme your client will love and include a personal note. These don’t have to be food-themed, but they can be. The quirkier and more unexpected the better when it comes to gift boxes or baskets. Remember, you’re aiming to put a smile on their face so they have a positive association with you and your company.

Here are some ideas to get you going:

Personalized Client Gift Boxes

Greetabl’s custom printed gift boxes with photos and a message create an incredibly thoughtful client gift. You get to pick the design, what goes inside, and a special message for your client.

Fun Gift Baskets

Harry & David, Hickory Farms, and Man Crates have interesting themed baskets with all kinds of delicious food and other items. Just have fun with it.

Chocolate and Sweets Basket

You can’t go wrong with baskets overflowing with chocolate, candy, cookies, cakes, and sweets galore. You could go with this sweet treat basket filled to the brim with yumminess or use this wooden foldable basket/tray with fruit for a unique touch.

Fitness and Workout Gift Set

If sweet or savory treats are not your client’s cup of tea, there are lot of other options. For starters, try a fitness set. They can include resistance bands, foam rollers, massage balls, workout towels, water bottles, or other exercise gear.

Art and Creativity Gift Box

Spark inspiration with art supplies, DIY crafts, decorative papers, coloring books, sketchpads, and more. You could also order an elaborate art set and add a nice artistic card.

Book Lover’s Gift Box

Have a client who loves to read? Literary fans will love a gift basket with books, blankets, candles, bookmarks, bookends, coffee, and tea. This box on Amazon includes socks, a bookmark, a candle, a mug and more!

Travel and Adventure Gift Box

Pack a TSA-friendly pouch with neck pillow, eye mask, slippers, earbuds, snacks, essential oils, and more flight must-haves. To take it up a notch, you could even include a Southwest Airline Gift Card (WHAT A GIFT!) or gift cards to other travel brands like Hotels.com or AirBnB.

Pet Lover’s Gift Basket

If you’ve got a client who’s obsessed with their fur babies try building a basked with pet treats, toys, a branded bandana, picture frame, brush, and more. Amazon has tons of great options.

BBQ and Grilling Gift Basket

Everything your client needs if their into cooking over the grill: sauces, rubs, spices, grill brush, meat thermometer, apron, mitts, beer, and BBQ tools. Assemble it yourself or get one from Thoughtfully.

Greenery or Plants

Bring nature indoors with these living gifts your clients can nurture. Not only do they really make a desk or workspace more beautiful, but they also become a constant reminder of your partnership in business. And if your client pulls a How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and let’s your “love fern” die, don’t hold it against them. Just send them a new one!

Here are a few green-focused ideas:

Desk Blossom Kits

These fun plants make fun client gifts for two reasons: they are just the right size for your client’s desk and include a positive message on each plant. We really love the tomato option that says, “Grateful for you from my head to-MA-toes!” This blossom kit is just $12.95.

Desktop Succulents (Customizable too!)

Sending single plants or groups of small succulent gardens that come pre-packaged in a planter as client gifts is easy with The Succulents Box Store. Unlike traditional flowers, succulents are low maintenance and have the potential to live much longer! That means these client gifts will stay on your client’s desk for a long time—reminding them of your partnership and your own thoughtfulness.

Money Tree

When it comes to business partnerships, money matters. And according to feng shui, the money tree plant attracts wealth and prosperity. The perfect gift for success-minded clients! While you’re at it, why not include the book by the same name from one of my personal favorite authors.

Aloe Vera Plant

Known for its healing properties, Aloe Vera plants also purify the air and can grow happily on any desk for a long time which means a fond memory of you each time your clients come into work.

Bamboo Plant

Bamboo is regarded as an eco-friendly plant and is said to bring calmness, prosperity, and good luck into a space. What better way to start off the new year with a client than with a gift of desktop bamboo for good luck!?

Terrarium Kit

For a more hands-on experience, you can let your client create their own miniature world with one of these fun DIY terrarium kits.

Herb Garden Kit

If you’ve got a client with a green thumb or a real knack for cooking, you can’t go wrong with an herb-growing kit. They can grow their own herbs like parsley, basil, oregano right at home or in the office. Amazon has a great collection of high-tech or low-tech options.

Bonsai Tree

Bonsai trees are symbolic of health, peace, order, and tranquility – ideal gifts for your Zen-seeking clients. You can send them an artificial one that lasts forever with no maintenance, or send them a live one to be loved and trimmed. The art of bonsai can be a fun work-day hobby to try out for the new year.

Air Plants

I had never heard of these before, but Air Plants are plants which grow outside of soil. With no soil required, air plants are super low maintenance, perfect for clients who may not have a knack for taking care of plants.

Swag for Their Brand

Custom branded swag is a foolproof client gift. It aligns with their brand, provides lasting value, and gives them something cool to show off. But be aware here client don’t want stuff with YOUR brand on it, they want stuff with THEIR brand on it.

Sending them swag with your logo or branding is self-serving and the entire point of client gifts is to be selfless and focused on the client. So when ordering swag, get it with their logo and watch their faces light up when they receive their gift.

And you don’t have to shop at 100 different places to find a variety of promo items either. Sites like ePromos offer almost anything you can dream up. From drinkware, to apparel, to cool tech gadgets—you can find everything you need all in one place with ePromos.

Here are just a few ideas you can look into

Stickers

Fun stickers with your client’s logo or branding make great swag. Clients can stick them on laptops, water bottles, notebooks – anywhere they want! Try using a service like StickerShoppe or StickerGiant to print custom, branded stickers for your client. Amazon also has lots of customizable sticker vendors. Or you can get personalized stickers too.

Enamel Pins

Personalized enamel pins are having a major moment. Get your client’s brand or logo made into pins for them and their team to wear proudly around the office or anywhere. Try somewhere like SignaturePins to order custom pins with your client’s brand.

Clothing

Imagine the smile when you give your client hoodies, t-shirts, or hats with their own branding. It’s a client gift they can’t help but love. Get quick turnarounds and quality apparel from sites like 4Imprint and VistaPrint.

Drinkware

Get your client’s logo or brand colors printed on travel mugs, tumblers, or water bottles. Useful swag they’ll use daily. As a plus, it’s a daily reminder of your partnership which is always good for business. Try DiscountMugs or CustomInk to get started.

Tech Gadgets

Put your client’s brand on power banks, phone cases, Airpod cases… so many tech gadgets you can customize with your client’s cool branding. And more tech ideas below in the technology gift section. For some great ideas and affordable options, try Crestline and ipromo.com.

Self-Care

Help your busy, stressed-out clients practice more self-care with a rejuvenating gift. Self-care is important and if your client is running a business, managing a team or seems to generally have a stressful job, the gift of “self care” can go a long way!

Here are a few ideas:

Hand Care Kit

Help your client moisturize their hard-working hands with nourishing salves, oils, creams and scrubs from Burt’s Bees. With natural ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E, a hand-care kit rehydrates cracked, dry skin for major relief.

Candles

Light an artisanal soy wax candle from Homesick layered with comforting, memory-evoking scents. Or gift a simple soy “Thank You” candle as an office supply expressing gratitude.

Wellness Box

Promote relaxation and self-care with a wellness gift box including Yogi herbal tea samplers, essential oils, fizzy bath bombs, hydrating face masks, and other pampering treats. The ultimate reset kit.

Yoga Mat and Accessories

Equip your yoga-loving client with quality mats, non-slip towels, supportive blocks and straps from top brands like Santiny, Manduka, and Retrospec. Or take your client out for some yoga and enjoy quality time together.

Weighted Blanket

This option will give the gift of calm to your client. When you’re wrapped in a weighted blanket, it feels like getting a big comforting hug, which can relieve stress and anxiety. Try premium options from Bearaby or Gravity.

High-Quality Headphones

Gift premium noise-canceling headphones from Bose or Sony for tuning out distractions. With plush ear cups and adjustable fits, clients can relax to their own audio world. I gave some Bose headphones to a few clients last year and they absolutely loved them.

Scented Candles

Set a relaxing mood with hand-poured soy candles scented with essential oils. Popular options from Homesick, Boy Smells, and Voluspa feature soothing scents like lavender, eucalyptus, and sea salt.

Personalized Journal or Notebook

Inspire daily writing or planning with a stylish custom notebook or journal. Add their name or quote using premium brands like Minted, Rifle Paper Co., or Leuchtturm1917.

Essential Oils Set

Sample various essential oils promoting wellness through aromatherapy. Popular starter sets from Eden’s Garden or Plant Therapy make a great option that will impress without breaking the bank..

Aromatherapy Diffuser

Help your client transform their office or home into a relaxing oasis by infusing the air with essential oils using an ultrasonic cool mist diffuser.

Kitchen Gadgets

While kitchen gadgets might seem like an odd client gift at first, consider the fact that many offices have kitchens (which are notoriously NOT well stocked with cooking tools). Plus, everyone eats—whether at home or the office—and who doesn’t get a kick out of a fun new kitchen gadget?

Here are some ideas to try out:

Fancy Mugs and Tumblers

Elevate your client’s coffee, tea, or water with a stylish mug or tumbler from Corkcicle, Ember, or Yeti. It’s the kind of client gift they’ll use on an almost daily basis. So make it a good one.

Personalized Cutting Boards

Cutting boards engraved with your client’s name or initials make for frequent use in the kitchen. Or opt to engrave their company logo or a memorable inside joke or phrase that reminds them of your partnership.

Measuring Cups and Spoons

Measuring cups and and spoons are always breaking and needing an upgrade. Splurge on a premium set from Amazon.

Utensil Sets

Complete your clients’ kitchen tools with ergonomic, durable utensils for mixing, serving, and eating in style. These are great for clients to take home or show off in their office kitchen too.

Cool Tech for Work

Technology is one of the best kinds of gifts you can give to clients. And when technology makes a person’s work-life even easier, then it’s even more powerful.

Here are some great technology-at-work gift ideas for your clients:

Digital Assistant Devices

Spoil your clients with an Amazon Echo, Google Home, or Apple Homepod to play music, set timers, manage calendars, automate smart tech, and more with just voice commands.

Smart Pen for Note-Taking & Translating

Help your client go digital by recording handwritten notes and synching them to cloud services with a smart pen. Popular options from Livescribe.

Conference Speakerphone (Plus Music Speaker)

Give your clients the gift of crisp, clear business calls with speakerphones from Poly or Ooma.

Smart Thermostat for Home Office

Give your client the power to control heating and cooling from anywhere with a smart thermostat. I prefer Nest.

Mini Projector

If your client is constantly presenting on-the-go, the Anker’s Nebula Brand can’t be beat when it comes to projectors. Most of their projectors come with a 100” screen from palm-sized HD projector with WiFi and Bluetooth. Insane.

High-Quality Webcam

Give your client the gift of an HD professional look on video calls and webinars with sharp footage by giving them a high-quality webcam from Logitech (lower price) or Razer (higher quality). You won’t be disappointed and your client will love it.

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Set

Help your client ditch wires cluttering their desk with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for flexible positioning. Logitech and Anker both make great options.

Smart Desk Lamp

Your client can automate lighting schedules and customize brightness with app-controlled smart lamps from Lumin, Yeelight, and Philips Hue. Which means they can always walk into a well-lit office in the morning! A great gift, when you think about it.

Gift Cards

Let’s face it: sometimes, you’re not sure what to get your client. And, frankly, sometimes the ability to choose how to spend their gift is a gift in and of itself for clients who just want to indulge every once in a while.

Take time to get to know your client enough that you can find a gift card they’ll actually use and enjoy. Here are just some ideas:

Amazon Gift Card

With everything under the sun available on Amazon, a personalized Amazon gift card makes an ideal “choose your own” present. Add a customized gift message for a personal touch.

Popular Restaurants

Give clients a fun night out on you by gifting gift cards to their favorite local restaurants, whether Italian, sushi, BBQ, brunch spots, and more.

Online Retailers

Let clients pick out something special with gift cards to popular online shops like Target, Sephora, Nordstrom, REI, and more aligned with their interests.

Spa or Wellness Centers

Treat stressed clients to ultimate pampering with gift certificates for luxury massages, facials, body treatments and more at local spas and wellness centers.

Bookstores

Spark joy for bookworms with gift cards they can use at Barnes & Noble, Amazon’s bookstore, local indie book shops, or audiobook subscriptions like Scribd.

Tech Stores

If your client is a technology lover, they will appreciate getting to browse accessories and gadgets with gift cards to Apple, Best Buy, phone carriers, and other electronics stores.

Online Learning Platforms

Help clients skill up with gift cards granting access to virtual classes at MasterClass, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare, CreativeLive, and more. This is the gift that keeps on giving by helping them develop new hobbies or work skills.

Art

Is your client an art-lover? This year, try sharing a beautiful piece to highlight in their home or workspace. You could try anything from custom, one-of-a-kind art to something a little more casual and fun.

Try any of these for the art-loving client:

Quality Piece of Art

Commission or purchase a painting, print, or photos through services like Minted and Artifact Uprising. The key here is to match the art style with the office or home style your client already has. If they’re more casual, don’t get something overly fancy. If they’re more modern in taste, don’t get a farmhouse-style piece.

Neon Sign

A few holidays ago, I got some of my clients neon signs of their own logo and it was a huge hit! A neon sign with an inspiring quote or your client’s company name makes a seriously cool client gift. You can find lots of sellers on Etsy or Amazon.

Custom Art About Your Client’s Company

Hire an artist on Upwork or Fiverr to create a custom digital drawing or painting depicting your client’s brand, their founder story, or some cool event that may have happened this year.

Charitable Donations

A client gift doesn’t always have to be something directly FOR them. Instead, consider making a charitable donation on their behalf. Many clients wish they could give more, but simply don’t have the cashflow or resources. For those kinds of clients, a donation can mean a lot—particularly if you take the time to identify what causes they care most about.

Here are some ideas (but remember, this is most impactful when you can figure out what charities or causes your client really cares about):

STEM Education Programs

Support youth STEM programs working to close the diversity gap in science and tech. This can have a lasting impact on the world and, if your client is into technology, their future workplace.

Racial and Social Justice Initiatives

Donate to organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which fights racial discrimination through litigation, advocacy, and education. Your gift helps fund their ongoing battle for racial justice and equality.

LGBTQ+ Support and Advocacy

Support nonprofits like The Trevor Project, which provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ+ youth. Your contribution makes a direct impact in a community facing disproportionate levels of depression, anxiety, and discrimination.

Mental Health and Wellness

Help destigmatize mental illness and increase access to mental health services by donating to nonprofits like NAMI, Mental Health America, and Bring Change to Mind. Your gift expands programs reducing stigma, educating the public, and providing critical treatment.

Microfinance and Entrepreneurship

Fuel economic mobility worldwide by funding microlending platforms like Kiva, which offers loans to low-income entrepreneurs across the globe. As loans are repaid, your gift keeps revolving to uplift more communities through the power of entrepreneurship.

Arts and Cultural Institutions

Keep arts alive in your community by funding museums, theaters, music programs, and more through your local arts council. Your gift promotes arts education, helps bring compelling exhibitions to your area, and makes the arts accessible to all.

Homeless Shelters

Help transition individuals and families out of homelessness through shelters like The Salvation Army, which provide housing, meals, counseling, job training and placement. Your contribution can change a life.

Invest in female-focused organizations like Dress for Success, which empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing professional attire, career development tools, and a network of support. Your gift promotes the health, safety and prosperity of women.

Youth Mentorship Programs

Education Scholarships

Fund college scholarships and financial aid programs so students can access higher education and create better futures. Your gift to education creates meaningful change.

Office Supplies & Tech

This might seem a bit boring, but every client needs to stock their office with supplies to get work done. You can fill in the gaps with these work essentials or spoil them with something special for the office too.

Here are some great places to start:

High-Quality Notebook

Give the gift of a classic Moleskine, the notebook brand creatives swear by for its smooth acid-free paper, durable bindings, and stylish designs perfect for notes or sketches. I also love Baron Fig’s notebooks and other supplies.

Stress Balls

Funny stress relief balls and desk toys printed with sassy quotes and sayings add flair while giving hands something to fidget with.

Customized USB Drives

Branded USB flash drives with your client’s logo make transferring, saving, and sharing files for work simple. Useful tech gift, great for building brand.

Tech Organizer

Cut down desktop cord clutter with the a desktop tech organizer which can bring some peace and organization to any client’s workspace.

Leather Portfolio or Padfolio

Your client will look polished taking a handcrafted, full-grain leather portfolio or padfolio to meetings or events. And if you splurge for a high-quality option, it’ll last for years—always keeping you top-of mind for your client.

Desk Lamp

Your client can brighten any desktop or workstation with minimal glare using the TaoTronics LED Desk Lamp, which offers flicker-free lighting and adjustable color temperature.

Premium Notebook or Planner

Stay organized in style with a fashionable yet functional planner or notebook from chic brands like Rifle Paper Co or Kate Spade.

Wireless Charging Pad

Drop and charge phones sans wires using a convenient Qi wireless charging pad like Anker’s Powerwave stand, which also holds phones upright for easy viewing.

Ergonomic Office Chair Cushion

Improve comfort during long work days with posture-improving seat cushions which also help with tailbone relief.

Experiences

Things are nice. But for the client who hates clutter or already has enough “stuff,” gifting them an experience is a great way to go. Plus, they’ll associate the fun, relaxation, or excitement they experience with you—another positive association that can lead to more business over the coming year.

Try these experiences for one of your clients this year:

Event Tickets

Giving tickets to a favorite sports team, concert, show, or festival creates an opportunity for your client to enjoy something they’re passionate about. Experiencing an entertainment event they’ll love is a client gift that provides lasting memories.

Having a puzzle custom made from a meaningful photo or image for your client makes for an especially thoughtful and personal gift. As they put the puzzle together, they’ll enjoy reminiscing about the special moment or place captured.

For the wine aficionado, tours, tastings, and events at a local winery let your client learn about the winemaking process and sample different varietals. It’s a fun, educational client gift for oenophiles. Think exploring Canadian wines from regions like Niagara or the Okanagan as a standout experience.

Cooking Class or Workshop

For clients with a passion for cooking, a hands-on cooking class is the perfect opportunity to gain new culinary skills and have fun with food. Trying new recipes and techniques together makes a experiential client gift.

Spa Day or Wellness Retreat

Full day getaways at luxury spas like Canyon Ranch or Miraval offer total relaxation through massages, facials, body treatments and more. Your stressed out client will appreciate an extravagant spa day client gift to unwind.

Maybe one of these thoughtful gifts speak to you?

DIY Craft or Artwork

Personally make your client a one-of-a-kind gift like a painting, knit scarf, poem, or other handmade craft to add an extra thoughtful touch. Custom creations show you care.

Handmade Gifts

Technology is fun. And mass-produced products can be more affordable. But a nice, hand-crafted piece can be much more meaningful and special. For that, you want to browse Etsy or Amazon Homemade.

Here are a few ideas you could explore:

Hand-Painted Ceramics

Find local artisans on Etsy who hand-paint customized ceramic pieces like mugs, plates or vases featuring your client’s preferred colors, prints, or designs. Unique ceramics become cherished gifts.
