Discover the magic behind great festive gift exchange as we introduce you to some of the best corporate Christmas & holiday gifts for staff & clients.
Medieval gift giving has definitely played a part in the establishment of the Christmas gift giving traditions of today. During the Tudor period, the practice of giving gifts was competitive to say the least. It was recorded that King Henry VIII, in 1534, received gifts of extensive worth from the gentleman of the court, gifts such as; a silver gilt compass, a tablet of gold and a marmoset to name a few.
Today, giving gifts on the 25th of December is done for various reasons. Christians give gifts as a symbolic tribute of the gifts presented to baby Jesus, by the three wise men, after his birth. Others exchange gifts at Christmas purely because it is the tradition of the season. Whether ancient or modern, the art of gift exchange is the standard festivity of the season.
In the corporate industry, the gifts may not be as extravagant as those presented to King Henry VIII but they are typically tokens of appreciation, presented to valued employees, clients, colleagues, partners and prospective customers, filled with gratitude and thoughtfulness. If you’d like to give gifts to your recipients that are as refined as those in the Tudor era and as thoughtful as those of present-day, here are some ideas for the best corporate Christmas gifts you’re going to love.

These stories can be in the form of mission statements, company values, business plans and brand vision. Sending the best corporate Christmas gifts to those corporate alliances you appreciate will strengthen your business bonds, boost employee morale and build professional repertoire. Read on for some great ideas to do just that!
