Every year it lands on someone’s desk: the company Christmas gift list. There are employees to thank, clients to keep warm for the new year, and maybe a whole office that deserves a little festive cheer, all with a budget to stick to and a deadline that comes around faster than you’d think.
The good news is that a great corporate gift doesn’t need to be complicated. The ones people remember tend to have three things in common: they’re easy to enjoy, they feel generous, and they suit almost anyone on your list. Gourmet gift baskets tick all three, and because every one of ours is Kosher certified (OK), you can send them across a diverse team or client base without second-guessing dietary needs.
Below, you’ll find our picks for employees, clients and the office, plus practical advice on budgets, bulk orders and getting everything delivered on time.
Christmas Gifts for Employees
The best employee gifts say thank you without making a fuss. Most staff would rather receive something they’ll genuinely use or enjoy than a branded trinket that ends up in a drawer, so think treats they can take home, share with family, or keep on their desk through the new year.
If you’re gifting a large team, consistency matters too. Sending everyone the same gift (or the same gift at each level of seniority) keeps things fair and avoids awkward comparisons in the break room.
Desk Organizer Gift Set
This one earns its place long after the chocolates are gone. A stylish leather desk organizer arrives filled with premium treats, including Lindt truffles, Guylian seashells, Almond Roca and Walkers shortbread, so it’s a gift that’s practical and indulgent at once. It’s a thoughtful choice for managers, long-serving team members, or anyone who spends their day at a desk.
Snackers Heaven Holiday Gift Set
A cheerful, festive gift that makes it easy to include everyone. It’s packed with crowd-pleasers like chocolate truffles, caramel popcorn, mint chocolate chip cookies and soft caramels, making it ideal for larger teams, seasonal staff or a thank you to every department. Gifting a big group? The Snackers Heaven 10 pack lets you order for a whole team in one go.
Christmas Gifts for Clients and Customers
Client gifts carry a little more weight. They’re a reflection of your business, so presentation counts, and they should feel generous without being overly personal. Food and wine gifts are a safe, classic choice because they can be shared around a client’s office or enjoyed at home over the holidays.
For your most valued clients, it’s worth stepping up to something more premium. For wider customer lists, a polished, mid-range gift still makes a strong impression without stretching the budget.
Deluxe Wine Gift Basket
When you want to make an impression on a key client, this is the one. A bottle of dry red wine feels festive and sits alongside a generous spread of gourmet treats, from Guylian truffles and Almond Roca to pistachios, cookies and trail mix. It’s a sophisticated, celebratory gift that feels like a real thank you for the year’s partnership.
Chocolate Delight Gift Basket
A smart, versatile choice for clients and customers alike. Fine chocolates from Guylian, Ghirardelli and Enstrom are balanced with savoury snacks like flatbread crisps, tomato crackers and popcorn, so there’s something for every taste. It’s well suited to client offices where the gift is likely to be shared around.
Gifts for the Whole Office
Sometimes the best gift is one everyone can dig into together. A shared basket in the break room or reception is a lovely way to thank a whole team at once, or to show appreciation to a client’s office rather than one individual. It’s also a good answer if you’re looking for something a little different for coworkers.
Ruby Red Gift Tower
Bright, festive and easy to send to multiple locations, this tower is a great pick for smaller teams or satellite offices. Each tier holds a different treat, from Lindt truffles and caramel popcorn to cinnamon yoghurt pretzels and lemon blueberry cookies. It’s also a cost-effective way to add a festive touch for suppliers, partners or regular customers.
Gourmet Baked Goods Christmas Gift Basket
Nothing gathers a team round quite like a box of fresh bakes. This festive tray is filled with eighteen individually wrapped brownies, blondies, cookies and muffins, including a seasonal Ginger Molasses cookie, so it’s easy to share at the coffee station. For a larger office, the Merry Christmas Deluxe Bakery Gift Basket offers an even bigger spread.
Making Corporate Gifting Effortless
Ordering a handful of gifts is simple. Ordering fifty, each going to a different address with its own message, is where things can get stressful. That’s where our corporate service comes in.
- Add your company logo. A personal touch with your logo turns a lovely gift into one that’s clearly from your business.
- Order in bulk. Our bulk order form makes large-scale gifting straightforward, whether everything goes to one office or hundreds of individual addresses.
- Work with a specialist. Get in touch and we’ll pass you to our corporate gifting specialist, who can manage your order and make sure everything is just as it should be, in line with any company gifting policies you have.
Plan your timing. For Christmas, our shipping cut-off is 2pm EST on 12/23, but for bulk and corporate orders, we’d recommend getting your list together well before then. You can choose an exact delivery date at checkout, so you’re free to order early and have gifts arrive when it suits you. Any delivery specifics, such as fresh items that can’t ship over a weekend, are noted on each product page.
Corporate Christmas Gift FAQs
What is the best corporate Christmas gift?
A gourmet gift basket is hard to beat. It’s consumable, so it never clutters anyone’s desk, it can be shared or taken home, and it works for almost every recipient. Choosing a Kosher-certified option also means you don’t need to worry about dietary requirements across a diverse team or client list.
How much should a company spend on Christmas gifts?
There’s no fixed rule, but most businesses set a budget per head and tier it by relationship. Many keep employee gifts consistent across the team, then set aside a larger amount for key clients and a modest amount for wider customer or supplier lists. Setting the budget before you shop makes it much easier to choose. Typically you might spend $20 - $25 per employee, $40 - $50 for managers and $75 - $150 on clients.
Can we send gifts to lots of different addresses?
Yes. Our bulk order form is designed for exactly this, and our corporate gifting specialist can help manage large or multi-address orders from start to finish.
Are corporate Christmas gifts tax deductible?
Business gifts can sometimes be deductible, but the rules vary and often come with limits. It’s best to check with your accountant before you finalise your budget.
Is a gift basket better than a gift card for employees?
Gift cards are convenient, but they can feel impersonal, and the amount is always obvious, which can make a thank you feel like a transaction. A physical gift arrives ready to enjoy, can be shared with family or colleagues, and shows that some thought went into it. A gourmet basket also feels generous without putting a price tag front and centre, which makes it a warmer way to say thanks at the end of the year.
