The holiday season has a funny way of sneaking up on even the most organized people.
One minute you're making plans for the kids Halloween costumes, and the next you're wondering how it's already mid- November and whether you've left enough time to organize gifts for your clients, colleagues or employees.
If that sounds familiar, you're certainly not alone.
The good news? Depending on your gifting requirements and delivery dates, there may still be options available.
Start With What You Do Know
Before you begin browsing hundreds of gift ideas on hundreds of sites, take a few minutes to gather up the basics.
How many people are you gifting? Are the gifts going to individual recipients or being shared by entire offices? Will they be delivered locally in Vancouver or shipped to other parts of Canada? And, perhaps most importantly, when do they need to arrive?
Having these answers ready makes the process considerably easier.
Keep It Simple, but Thoughtful
A memorable corporate holiday gift doesn't necessarily require weeks of planning or elaborate customizations.
A beautifully presented gift basket filled with delicious treats, accompanied by a thoughtful holiday message, can convey everything you need it to.
If you're ordering for multiple recipients, choosing one or two gift designs can simplify the process while still making everyone feel appreciated.
And if you'd like to include your company's branding, just enquire what's possible and we will be honest. Depending on timing, even a small personalized detail can make a gift feel distinctly yours.
Don't Forget About Delivery
One of the biggest considerations with holiday gifting isn't necessarily choosing the gift or different customizations. It's about getting it to the right people at the right time.
Office closures, employee vacations (C suite recipient tend to take extra time off around the holidays), holiday events, courier schedules & our unpredictable BC weather can all affect delivery plans.
That's why we always encourage corporate clients to think about their recipients' schedules, not just their own.
