This Corporate Gift Guide for 2025 takes a dual approach, exploring two distinct gifting categories: (1) fresh and trendy innovations that capture current workplace dynamics and (2) timeless, evergreen selections that stay consistently valuable.
First, we examine the newest corporate gifts that reflect emerging workplace trends—items shaped by recent technological advances, changing work environments, and evolving professional needs.
Then, we spotlight the evergreen gifts that have maintained their relevance and appeal, proving their worth across multiple business cycles and workplace transformations.
Look back at the past few years to see what changed and is still relevant.
Whether you’re aiming to surprise with trendy business gifts or prefer to rely on gifts with proven staying power, this guide offers a comprehensive view of corporate gifting in 2025. Our selections are curated to help businesses choose gifts that genuinely resonate with recipients, bridging the gap between what’s new and what’s truly meaningful.
Fresh Corporate Gift Ideas for 2025
The general trend for corporate gifts in 2025 will fall into these criteria:
- Personalized – Whether it’s the choice of gift itself or the way it’s presented (i.e. customized or given with a thoughtful personal message for the recipient.
- Made Sustainably – Same as the previous years, corporate gifts that are eco-friendly and sourced ethically, will continue to be an essential consideration.
- Practical and Useful – We’ve continuously highlighted the importance of corporate gifts that people will actually want to keep and use and that’s not going to change any time soon.
- Supports Flexible Work Environments – The workplace as we knew it has fundamentally shifted, moving beyond rigid work structures toward more adaptable models that prioritize productivity and employee well-being over traditional time and location constraints.
- Enhances Wellness – Gifts that support a healthier, more balanced life outside of work will build better meaningful, professional connections.
- Creative and Fun – Brands that don’t take themselves too seriously have made the strongest impact this year. Duolingo is one of the best examples this year. That goes the same with corporate gifting. Being bold, creative, and fun pays off.
Personalized Gifts with Thoughtful Message Cards
Know your audience. It’s the most crucial part of the process. What are your clients into? What would your employees enjoy? What would make them feel appreciated?
A personalized kit with a curated selection of items that speaks to their lifestyle or taste—from candies and scented soy candles to cool branded headphones—is guaranteed to build and foster your professional relationships.
Below are three top-notch, tasteful corporate gift ideas that works for a general audience. Scented soy candles, gourmet snacks, and tech accessories do a fantastic job at matching almost any theme.
Equally as important as the gifts is the message card that comes with it. A personal message card does a good job but you can also get creative with it, just like these customizable and unique greeting cards.
The Custom 3D Pop-up Card folds flat and opens up into a 3D design when the card is opened. Great for congratulatory messages.

Here are some awesome practical and useful items you can personalize.

Supports Flexible Work Environments

Gifts under this category don’t even have to do with work necessarily. The idea is to give something that supports ease of mobility and adaptability to any work environment.

Corporate Gifts for Wellness
Physical and mental wellness in the workplace is now more important than ever. For 2025’s corporate gift guide, we wanted to continue our support for companies that know the value of quality time for rest from work – whether that’s spending time with the family, being in nature, or just bed rotting on the weekend.
We did an entire blog just for camping chairs a while back and we see outdoor camping chairs as some of the best wellness-themed corporate gifts you can give. It promotes your brand while being outdoors and relaxing. The Chairman can carry up to 400lbs.

We did an entire blog for this category of branded gifts and it’s been one of our most popular content this year.
Creative and Fun Corporate Gift Ideas
The marketing landscape has completely changed. What we knew as non-traditional marketing – meaning anything digital – has taken a whole new meaning (again) as our behaviour towards content showed that people are very aware when they are being sold something. For brands, that means taking a step back and looking at their strategy of engaging with the audience and presenting themselves in a less glossy and more authentic way. That can also be translated into the types of corporate gifts you’re giving to employees and clients.
Creativity, storytelling, and not taking your brand too seriously are three components of launching an effective campaign. Here are just a few creative and fun corporate ideas you can integrate:
Gamify an interaction
The QR Code Wood Cube is a simple yet super creative tool you can mix with your corporate gifts to lead people to more information about anything – whether it’s for an event landing page, a sign-up campaign, or a download trigger.
Nostalgia Sells
Many of the decision-makers of companies are now Gen Xers and Millennials. For B2B marketing, tapping into fond childhood memories is a great way of creating that connection.
The My Arcade SPACE INVADERS Mini Player Pro is such a fun and nostalgic corporate gift that they can add to their work desk or console set-up. Your logo is also nicely positioned right below the screen.
Turn an ordinary item into something fun
Something as ordinary as a hoodie or blanket can turn into a creative marketing tool or corporate gift. It combines a thing that people use every day and the spirit of fun.
You can fully sublimate the Hooded Sherpa Luxe Throw Blanket so that you can be as creative with your design as you like. Plus, who wouldn’t appreciate a snuggly, warm blanket?
Show them that it’s in the cards (literally)
This is somewhat in line with gamifying a campaign. However, creating a full deck of cards that’s 100% unique is a flex in the context of brand communication and marketing. Design your very own set of playing cards with unique characters and design. Showcase what your brand is all about in a truly creative way – one where people can hold it in their hands.
The 3.5″ x 5.75″ Giant Playing Cards is a blank canvas that has all the potential of a memorable corporate gift or marketing campaign. Customize everything from the card to the box as well as the seal.
Evergreen Corporate Gifts
Sticking to the classics is always a smart choice when it comes to corporate gifts. No matter the theme, time of the year, or who it’s for, evergreen gifts keep the process simple. Apparel and Bags are two product categories that belong to this list. But, to make it even easier, we made an entire catalog just for year-round favorites.
Now that you’ve got this corporate gift guide for 2025, you can start envisioning the next year and plan for how you want your business to engage and connect with clients, employees, and potential new professional relationships.
