31 Unique Client Gift Ideas to Impress your Clients & Customers

You may have never heard of it before, but this beautiful kit includes a festive ornament, which, when the holidays are over, you can turn into a plant.

Instead of giving your clients a branded succulent, you give them an eco-friendly branded item that can be turned into a fun indoor activity.

Idea #3: Camp Cup

A quite basic, but still one of the best, corporate gifts is a branded camp cup.

It’s durable, washable, and can be used endless times which means that your branding is going to stay with your clients for a long time.

On that note, if you decide to go for a promotional mug you should know that there are many options in terms of sizes, colors, and materials you can choose from to make sure your mug is as personalized and unique as it gets.

Idea #4: Bucket Bag Cooler

Next time you’re looking for thoughtful gifts for your clients, why don’t you customize a bucket bag cooler like the one shown below?

It’s very special and handy and can totally be the perfect gift for those clients of yours who enjoy picnics and outdoor parties.

What’s great about this one is that it’s far more stylish than your usual bag cooler and offers companies a very modern approach in terms of design.

Idea #5: Eco Water Bottle

Y’know what goes great with a cool bucket bag cooler? An eco water bottle that keeps both cold and warm drinks at the right temperature.

Fortunately, reusable water bottles are gaining popularity and the number of people using them is increasing.

Giving a bottle like this to a new client together with a thank you note is a great idea for small businesses who are looking for appreciation gifts on a budget.

Idea #6: Terracotta Kit

A branded terracotta kit that’s used for growing a houseplant is one of the most interesting and unique gift ideas that last in time.

It’s an amazing gift for celebrating new businesses and life milestones.

Put this in a gift box with food gifts if you want to create the perfect housewarming gift for your clients and customers.

Idea #7: Premium Bluetooth Speaker

Branded tech swag is one of the most popular promotional gift categories.

What’s even more popular are premium branded gadgets that can be used on a number of different occasions, including outdoor parties and road trips.

A promotional premium Bluetooth speaker, like the one shown above, is one of the best corporate gifts for long-term clients you want to thank for their support and commitment to your business.

Author’s Note: They’re more expensive than other products on this list so you can save them for special occasions.

Idea #8: All-in-One Bag

A fully functional all-in-one tote bag is a gift that can be given away every time you’re looking for a little thoughtful gift for new customers and clients.

It’s useful for overnight trips and for carrying your workout essentials easily.

Why not stuff it with a care package of chocolate and baked goods to make a great client appreciation gift?

Idea #9: Packable Hammock

For those adventurous clients and customers who like unique outdoor activities, a packable hammock will be a real treat.

A high-quality and durable packable hammock can truly elevate the client experience with your brand and show them how imaginative and thoughtful your brand can be.

It’s a nice company gift for clients and customers you know personally and know that they love a good hammock to relax in.

Idea #10: Sling Bag

A stylish and practical sling bag would go great with a packable hammock as well as other products that are also included in this list, such as a stainless steel tumbler and a packable jacket.

If you’re making Christmas gift baskets for clients and customers who love sports and outdoor activities, make sure that you put a branded sling bag into the basket.

They’re going to love how stable, lightweight, and durable this sling bag is.

Idea #11: Bottle Opener and Cup Holder

A great thing about branded items is that you can put your branding on virtually any product you want.

Even if the product you want is a bottle opener that’s also a cup holder.

You may have never seen one of these before, but trust me when I say that they’re the BEST item for house and office parties.

All you have to do is to magnetically mount this to any flat metal surface, such as a grill or in your car.

We particularly recommend this gift for customers who enjoy throwing office parties and happy hours.

Idea #12: Eco Lunch Cooler

An eco lunch cooler does exactly what it promises to do.

It keeps your food and drinks cool so you don’t have to worry about freshness.

Plus, it’s made of recycled, laminated, non-woven material that’s fully wipeable, which means that it’s super easy to clean and remove any food or stains from the inside or outside.

Idea #13: Card Holder

When it comes to corporate gift giving, a branded card holder is simply a must.

Whether it’s to put notes, business cards, or credit cards in, a cardholder is a very handy accessory that’s gaining popularity because of its sleek look and its small and convenient size.

Anyone would appreciate a high-quality, stylish cardholder, but we think it’ll be the perfect gift for professionals who need to have a few essentials in their pockets all the time, like real estate agents for example.

Author’s Tip: Surprise your clients and customers with a gift card from your company in the card holder.

Idea #14: Stainless Steel Tumbler

There are some client gifts that are simply bound to make your corporate gift giving a success.

One of these gifts is a merchandise staple, a stainless steel tumbler.

Promotional tumblers are very popular because people use them multiple times a week and you can always own more than one tumbler.

That means that a tumbler is a great gift for anyone, even those people who already have one at home.

Author’s Tip: For the holidays, accompany your company tumbler with a fruit basket to make your gift more festive and impactful.

Idea #15: Glass Set with Carafe

If you’re looking for a high-end gift to share with your most loyal customers, you’ve just found it.

Idea #22: Candle

A branded relaxing candle is exactly that kind of gift.

It can be personalized to match your company branding and will help to keep your brand top of mind.

How?

Think about it.

A candle is something someone puts in the lounge, which means that they’ll get to see part of your brand on a regular basis.

Plus, they’ll subconsciously connect your brand with positive feelings of being calm and relaxed.

Author’s Note: A candle is one of the best gifts if you want to create birthday gifts for your best clients or if you’re putting together corporate holiday gift baskets.

Idea #23: Winter Snood

I bet the previous gift idea has made you think of winter and cold weather.

Depending on whether you love cold weather or not, a winter snood will be a fantastic gift for clients and customers alike.

A snood is a versatile accessory that can be used as a face covering, beanie, hand-warmer, and neck gaiter.

It’s ideal for those customers of yours who enjoy going skiing and jogging on chilly days.

For example, if you forgot to turn off your hair straightener, no problem! You can turn on and off your devices using the plug’s app.

Plus, this little device is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Do I need to say anything else?

Idea #25: 16-in-1 Multi-Tool

A 16-in-1 multi-tool might not be as smart as the smart plug we’ve just discussed, but it sure is a practical item that can be branded with your company name or logo.

This brilliant multi-tool includes a bottle opener, knife, flat-head screwdriver, flashlight, laser pointer, and so on and so forth.

They’re super warm and cozy and 100% touchscreen-friendly, which means that you can keep them on and use your phone at all times.
