It’s that time of year again! The holidays—the cheerful, joyous occasion when everyone feels a little lighter, a little kinder, and most importantly, a little more generous. Of course, for many people, the idea of getting clients gifts may be an added source of stress. It can be hard to determine the best gift for your client that says you’re grateful for their business and appreciate the opportunity to work with them.
Do you get them a gift card, a beautiful piece of home décor, or perhaps something they can use while they cook up their holiday feast? There is no shortage of options, and knowing your clients can help you decide which gift suits them best. We rounded up five of the best gifting ideas for your clients so you can show your appreciation.
Their Favourite Morning Pick-Me-Up
The majority of people each have a signature morning beverage that helps them set the tone for their workday, and there’s nothing better than providing them with a gift card that can help them start their day on the right foot. Perhaps your client is a Starbucks person, or maybe they are Tim Horton’s to the core. Gifting them with a prepaid card to their favourite coffee place provides them with free morning pick-me-ups, and that is a great way to show them that you appreciate them and their business. Package it up with a note that says, “have a cuppa cheer!” and you’re good to go!
A Gift for Their Sweet Tooth
Nothing says the holidays quite like some sweet and tasty treats. The last two months of the year are often a dessert frenzy. Why not gift your client with some adorable cake pops that display the spirit of the season and your appreciation for them? Pack them up with a note that says, “you take the cake!” and your client will feel no guilt about indulging in this tasty gift idea.
If cake pops aren’t your thing, you could also create a goody bag filled with various sweet treats such as the seasonal peanut brittle, some holiday candies, and an adult-style advent calendar. There’s nothing more holiday than getting to bask in the nostalgia of counting down the days in December with a sweet piece of chocolate.
Home Décor for a Front Hall Refresh
Everyone has their home décor style, but not many people ever really get around to true customization. Creating thoughtful custom pillowcases for the front hall can be a great gift idea for your clients. You can cater the customization toward their style or the holiday season. The options are endless when it comes to this creative gift idea.
The Art of Giving on Their Behalf
More and more people are seeing the importance of getting involved in charity, one way or another. Why not choose a charity that is close to your client’s heart and donate on their behalf? They’ll love that you care about causes they feel deeply about, and it’s a holiday gift that you both can feel good about.
Feed Their Holiday Spirit
Last but not least is the gift of food. The holidays are as much about food as they are about getting together with loved ones and exchanging gifts, so why not take advantage of all the seasonal food sets available this time of year? You could go with a sweet set of different jams or something more savoury such as assorted olive oils your client may never go out and buy for themselves.
These gifts are bound to put a smile on any client’s face, but if you need more ideas, you can check out our Gifting and Client Appreciation Pinterest board for more holiday gift inspiration!
