With the holiday season upon us, businesses face the annual holiday hurry to find thoughtful, effective and meaningful corporate gifts. But with the hustle and bustle of the end of the year, many companies find themselves scrambling for last-minute options. 

However, companies still have the option to give their employees and clients branded merch as gifts by choosing items that can be ordered and delivered in less than a week. From tech gadgets to custom drinkware, many high-quality promotional items can still be personalized with your brand and shipped quickly, so you can surprise and delight your clients, employees and partners. 

Here are some popular last-minute gift ideas that not only show appreciation but also build brand awareness well beyond the holiday season. 

1. High-Quality Drinkware

Reusable drinkware, such as a stainless steel tumbler, a water bottle or a coffee mug, has become a trendy and eco-friendly gift choice. These items can be customized with your logo or a festive design. With options like vacuum-insulated tumblers that keep drinks hot or cold, they’re not just practical but also stylish.

2. Gourmet Treats 

For a classic gift that never goes out of style, consider gourmet treats such as chocolates, jelly beans or hot cocoa kits. Many companies offer customizable packaging, allowing you to add your brand logo or a holiday message. These gifts are perfect for clients or employees who appreciate a delicious, shareable treat — and they can be delivered quickly.

3. Tech Accessories

In our digital age, tech accessories are both useful and versatile. Items like portable power banks, wireless chargers and branded Bluetooth speakers make fantastic gifts that recipients will use regularly, keeping your brand top of mind. By choosing tech gadgets to share your appreciation, you can strengthen your relationship with the recipient. 

4. Home Gifts

Home promotional products make wonderful corporate gifts for employees and customers because they’re useful items with a personal touch. Quality kitchen gadgets like tongs, a whisk or a BBQ set provide a product people can appreciate in their daily lives. Branded candles or coasters are also popular choices, as they add style and function to any home setting. 

5. Office Essentials

For a professional touch, consider customized journals or pens. High-quality stationery items are useful in any office setting and serve as a daily reminder of your business. Take it up a step up by giving a logoed tote bag or computer backpack. Items like these can let people pack your brand with them throughout the year.
