Every year, the same spreadsheet appears with the same three people to purchase gifts for: employees, business partners, and clients.
And every year, it is just as tempting, practical, and convenient to send all three the same gift. But you should choose a gift with the recipient's relationship in mind.
A long-term client, dedicated employee, and trusted business partner are all different and therefore require gifts that reflect that.
So when the time of year comes around again when you need to pull out that spreadsheet, take the time to consider how you would like your Christmas gift to be received.
The best gifts feel genuine, personal, and special.
Clients
A gift for a client says thank you and reflects how your business does things.
Most of our corporate customers spend roughly $100 to $200 for each client’s end-of-year gift. This gives them the option to choose gifts that are beautiful and long-lasting. A Milly & Henry hamper is a gift that won’t feel repetitive each year.
Our hampers combine a mix of treats, beverages, and keepsakes so you can personalise a different experience for your client gifting each year. This can be particularly handy when gifting the same clients each year, so the gesture stays personal and unexpected.

Employees
Gifting for employees can be just as tricky because the same gift generally needs to meet everyone’s preferences, tastes and dietary requirements.
The best place to start is by asking two simple questions:
- Is alcohol appropriate for everyone on your team?
- Are there any dietary requirements or preferences to consider?
This will indicate whether a couple of hampers will suit the whole team or whether individual gifts are the best approach (including a mix of alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and dietary-friendly options). Gifting with us means you can select a mix of hampers in the same order, delivered to one or multiple locations.
Alternatively, if your team works together in one location, choose one of our Team Share Hampers designed to reward the whole office. It turns the gift into a treat each employee can open, share and enjoy together.
Business Partners and Suppliers
These recipients are often the most overlooked on the gifting spreadsheet, and they play an integral role in every business. They supply, refer, and collaborate in many ways throughout the year, often behind the scenes and without expecting anything in return.
As a general rule, you don’t need to spend much. A token of appreciation for their hard work can go a long way toward strengthening the working relationship.
