Curated Gift Box

Curated gift boxes seem to be the popular go-to client gifts for the latter half of this decade. And with good reason. Baskets are so easy to personalize for each of your clients based on their unique tastes and interests. With so many box companies out there, I had to thoroughly research to narrow down our top 5 favorite ones.

• Raven Reads – This Canadian start-up focuses on gifting literature

• Fox Blossom – Am Esty shop turned luxury gifting company

• Shop Box Fox – A company bringing gift boxing to the 21st century

• Happy Box Store – A sister run, female sourced gift box company

• Knack Shops – A company focusing on gifting stories to build authentic connections

*Remember that when sending food – keep in mind any allergies or intolerances of clients.

Gift Ideas For Extra Special VIP Clients

Every business has those clients, you know, those VIP clients, otherwise known as high-clientele. Maybe they’re a little more lux than your other clients, or they’ve invested a LOT in your services or products. You know who they are.

• Personal Experiences – Some clients prefer experiences to material goods. Even your lux clients. So why not give them what they truly want? Some great ideas for personal experience gifts are race car driving, a spa day, winery tours, premium tickets to a live show or sporting event, and swimming with sharks.

General Gifts

• Succulents – everybody needs a little greenery and fresh air in their life!

• Water bottles – to make sure your clients stay hydrated!

Tips before you go

Please, don’t think you need to spend an extortionate amount of money on a client gift! Keep it proportional to what they pay you over the year.

And, no matter what gift you choose to give this year, we always recommend writing a personal greeting card to go along with it (or use the card as the gift itself). Personal touches really go a long way.

Lastly, we recommend personalizing your gift as much as possible. If your client previously told you that they hate the smell of oranges – please don’t bulk buy gifts and send them an orange-scented candle. Pay attention to details! 

Bonus points for sending small client gifts throughout the year, rather than just during the holidays.
