Festive Gifting Trends for 2022!
 

The festive spirit is in the air meaning Christmas is right around the corner. Choosing the correct present for someone can be challenging with so many different clients and employees to please, but don’t worry we have everything you need for the gifting season. 

 

 The Psychology of Gift Giving 

 
Gift-giving is a huge part of end-of-year celebrations, but why do we do it every year? Our client, the University of Worcester explores the psychology behind this seasonal custom in their gifting blog; humans work best when cooperating with each other and gift-giving is an example of the result of successful collaboration.  Giving presents to one another reinforces reciprocating relationships because as the year draws to an end, a healthy relationship is wanting to continue into the new year and a thoughtful gift symbolises this with the kindness of generosity.
 

What Does This Mean for Corporate Gifting?

 
Whether gifting employees or clients, a present shows appreciation and care for that team or individual and will lead to mutual repayment in loyalty, positive behaviours and even a returning tangible present. The gift needs to symbolise your organisation’s appreciation for the person receiving so consider their tastes, interests and lifestyle when choosing the perfect present.
 
We understand the relationships held in 2022 have been key to your organisation, so our hard-working elves have selected their top trending corporate gifts for treating your employees and clients to continue great working relationships into 2023.
