Giving corporate gifts to colleagues, bosses, subordinates or business partners may seem a less common practice, considering that we usually give gifts to loved ones or on family anniversaries. However, in the professional environment, they have the role of strengthening a business relationship, celebrating a success or a product or store launch, or simply pleasantly surprising your colleagues or collaborators on the occasion of birthdays.

Moreover, during the Christmas or New Year holidays, gift baskets are some of the most sought-after ways to say "thank you" to those with whom you have interacted professionally throughout the year.

Even if they must respect certain etiquette and be limited to more formal objects, you can surprise your colleagues or partners using special corporate gifts. In the guide below, we offer you some original solutions, suitable for both women and men.

How to choose the right gift for business partners

Etiquette rules for business gifts

• Know the preferences of business partners

Gifts made in the professional environment, either to colleagues or subordinates, or to business partners must comply with certain standards and rules of etiquette. These should not be too personal objects, but rather more formal and impersonal; therefore, any objects with religious, political, or sexual overtones are to be avoided.

However, it is good to know something about the preferences of those who receive the gifts, especially if it is one of the colleagues at work. For example, you can give a woman a small scented object, suitable for both the office and the home, in the form of a perfume with essential oils from IMKER.

• The gift must look flawless

An essential aspect that you must consider is the way you wrap the gift. In order to respect business etiquette, it is preferable to leave the packaging to the store's specialized staff, if you are purchasing, for example, a gift for your boss in the form of a perfume suitable for both the office and home.

• Don't give too expensive gifts

Another important aspect regarding corporate gifts is that they should generally be symbolic gifts, suitable to mark important moments such as a new launch or a company anniversary, boosting employee morale or customer loyalty.

Objects with symbolic value, but equally practical and functional, are the most recommended in this case. You can opt for small office accessories personalized with the company logo, such as writing instruments or diaries.

• Add a message of appreciation at the end

What can set a regular gift apart from another, especially during the Winter Holidays when everyone is getting presents, is a personalized message to add to the end.

For example, if you're giving a gift to a business associate, write a few words of appreciation that show respect for your business relationship and reflect how you've already interacted so far.

When you can give gifts to your business partners

• The celebration of a success

There are many moments in the activity of a company or a professional collaboration in the corporate field when gifts can be given to office colleagues and business partners. Company success can be one of the most important to enjoy together the common achievements.

• Christmas

The winter holidays, and especially Christmas, are the most prolific times of the year when it comes to exchanging and giving gifts. Now, you can offer corporate gifts to both employees and business partners with whom you have collaborated throughout the year.

If you feel that a basket of specific goodies will not differentiate you from other gift-giving customers, you can opt for gift ideas, for example, ones specially designed for car enthusiasts.

• Easter

And the Easter holidays are moments that you can take advantage of to give a corporate gift. For example, to those who are already preparing for a car trip, you can give them a car air freshener as a gift, an indispensable accessory for those who appreciate such beautiful experiences.

• Birthday

For co-workers especially, a birthday is a moment that should be celebrated properly. Now you can also turn to gifts with a more personal meaning, especially if it is one of your work colleagues to whom you want to give a joint gift. An aromatherapy kit can help you with this.

Examples of corporate gifts for business partners

• Professional car perfume diffuser

A car speaker is an accessory suitable for colleagues or business partners who travel a lot, in the interest of work. Such a gift, in the form of an elegant small device, effectively combines technology with aromatherapy. Its use is simple and convenient because the cold nebulization method allows the use of perfume without the addition of water.

This small device creates a pleasant atmosphere wherever it is used, and thanks to USB charging it can be easily placed in the car; thus, those on the road can enjoy the pleasant climate while driving.

• Professional room fragrance diffuser

An aromatherapy set that can be used at home or in the office is a suitable gift for the boss or manager as well as for colleagues. Its elegant, premium appearance, given the quality of the materials from which it is made, allows such a speaker to be placed anywhere in the room.

Thanks to the elegance of its curved lines, the diffuser can be placed in visible places, thus being suitable as a special decorative object.



Choose such objects with symbolic value, but also special practicality when you want to give a corporate gift to your colleagues or business partners. You will send a positive, well-intentioned message that can strengthen your business relationship.
