Trends in Christmas business gifts for 2018.

The time of the year is approaching when we traditionally think about what to give to our loved ones, friends and business associates. The end of the year is the ideal time to look back and redefine the relationships we have achieved during the year. A carefully selected business gift will show your colleagues how important and special they are to us. In the multitude of various gifts, we try to be different, creative and give an innovative business gift that will remain in the memory for as long as possible.

While the brand is always in the foreground at events and promotions throughout the year, Christmas business gifts require a more intimate, subtle approach that will convey your Christmas story in a positive and unobtrusive way for a long time to come. To make this year’s search for promotional gifts easier, we bring you an overview of trends in the world of business gifts.

#1 Gadgets are increasingly desirable Christmas business gifts

The sound of the dying battery of your smartphone or tablet is certainly not what you want to hear when you are far from a charger and socket, and you are late for a meeting or need to announce that you are late to pick up your child for training. For every millennial, being offline is equal to non-existence, so a backup battery or powerbank is one of the most useful gadgets today. If we add all the benefits of wireless technology, wireless or solar chargers, wireless speakers with wireless charging, wireless headphones with a luminous logo, a thermos bottle with a wireless speaker, and even USB memory sticks are gifts that will delight the younger population, bringing with them both uniqueness and utility. value,  even environmental awareness.

#2 Food as a business gift

Who doesn’t love a good homemade kulen or prosciutto? During the holiday season, we are particularly fond of food, cooking and preparing fragrant home-made specialties. The tradition of gifting food and quality drinks is almost as old as gifting itself. If you decide on edible Christmas business gifts, be sure to choose autochthonous products from domestic OPGs, preferably organic, and complete them with a quality selection of excellent wine producers or domestic liqueurs.

If you still want your gift to leave a lasting impression, opt for beautiful decanters, mulled wine sets, mortars or serving dishes that will complement the holiday atmosphere with their beautiful shapes and quality materials. You will enjoy a bottle of wine, but you will use the elegant wine opener on every occasion.

#3 Individualization and added value

We all long for happiness and positive emotions, so personalized gifts are a great choice if you want your gift and your company to be remembered for a long time. Accumulating unnecessary things is not a trend, and carefully selected quality items that fit into the lifestyle of those who receive them give ‘that something’ that is not forgotten. If you know what the lifestyle habits or hobbies of your business partners are, choose something that will make their everyday life better or easier and spice it up with a decent logo.

Warm knitted blankets, thermoses made of the finest materials for free time in the mountains, water bottles that motivate us to drink enough water or travel mugs with a printed individualized message will be the perfect choice for all those who appreciate every free moment.

#4 Christmas business gifts to improve the quality of life and environmentally conscious gifts

Along with environmentally conscious business gifts, which for years have been at the top of the selection of companies that take care of their socially responsible business, gifts that promote a healthy lifestyle have also recorded a great increase. Such a gift gives a positive image of the company that gives it, and the one who receives it is happy with the fact that you care about his health and well-being. Whether you decide on a citrus strainer, a salad set or a smart activity tracker, you won’t go wrong with your choice.

#5 A wealth of materials, textures and colors

The trend of quality materials in the production of promotional products grows year by year, following the sales range of consumer goods. Thus, business gifts are getting closer and closer to the branded products that we see in store windows every day. Cork, copper, wood textures, glass and matte surfaces dominate the offer, and the palettes of bright and bold colors have never been so rich.
