6 Best Client Gifts That Won't Get Thrown Out
Ditch the monstrous, cellophane wrapped gift baskets filled with stale candy, off-brand wine, and tacky packaging. We’ve rounded up the 6 best client gifts that won’t be chucked in the bin.
Gifting can be quite a long, arduous process, especially if you’re gifting for a lot of clients. Like the shot glass favors at weddings, client gifts can easily be … ‘meh’. You might end up settling on what to buy because you’re not really sure what else to get. We’ve been there before, and so we’ve decided to take some time to create a badass list of items all clients would love to receive - over the holiday season or otherwise! From craft to artisanal to delicious, these gifts will be sure to inspire plenty of thank you’s :-)
Caramel Caravan Co. 20-Piece Caramel Box - $34
Everyone knows that life is like a box of chocolates - but not many know what a box of caramels is like! At least not a box of locally made, small-batch, fresh cream caramels. Why not show them? Customize each box with pick-your-own caramel flavors like Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Marshmallow, or Honey Lavender, and include a free (yes FREE) handwritten note!

PF Candle Co Spruce Candle + Wick Trimmer - $30
We love a good scented candle - especially if it’s from a woman-owned business, made from 100% domestically-grown soy wax, and is phthalate-free. Up the client game by adding something thoughtful and slightly unusual - a wick trimmer - which helps get rid of soot and black smoke. Think scented candles are only for female clients? With scents like Teakwood & Tobacco, we beg to differ.

Succulent Studios 3 Month Subscription - $50
Succulent Studios will send your client cute little succulents for their workspace environment for three months. Not only do succulents use water extremely efficiently, they produce oxygen at night which makes them great for air quality. With a tiny bit of light and a touch of water, succulents can thrive even under the least green thumb (black thumb?!).

Runamok Maple Cheese Pairing Selection - $20
We bet that most clients use a good dose of maple syrup on their weekend pancakes or waffles. What they don’t do? Pair their maple syrup with cheese. That’s about to change after you gift them Runamok Maples Cheese Pairing maple syrup selection, which features syrups infused with elderberry, and smoked with pecan wood. Yes, please!

If there is one thing we learned in 2020, it’s WASH YOUR HANDS! Treat your clients every now and again with a fancy hand soap filled with natural scents like organic Bergamot or Lavender. Functional and enjoyable - can we say win win!

St. George Botanivore Gin - $31
Founded in 1982, St. George Spirits has grown slowly and steadily, distilling craft gins and vodkas. Ditch the standard grocery store wine or whiskey, and gift a bottle of Botanivore Gin: fresh, citrusy, herbaceous, and perfect for that 5 pm Quarantini. Your clients will thank you.
