9 Custom Client Gifts Cheaper than a Fruit Basket

It's that time of year where most companies like to reach out and say "Thank You" with a holiday gift. Rather than sending another standard promotional item with your logo, or the same basket of food you've sent every year, here are nine ideas for custom client gifts that we have produced at Suttle-Straus:

    1. Custom Photo Coaster
      This year Suttle-Straus sent our clients a customizable photo coaster in a die cut package that also held two packets of hot cocoa. We thanked our clients and offered them warm thoughts for a cold Wisconsin winter.

    2. Desk Calendar
      We love gifts that sit on our clients' desks all year round, rather than ones that will be eaten in a day and then forgotten. Last year Suttle-Straus sent our clients a desk calendar featuring 12 different styles of printing on 12 unique papers.
    3. Decorative Ornament
      In previous years Suttle-Straus sent a paper ornament that could be assembled by the recipient. One year it was a snowflake, another year was a sustainable snowman. A gift that is interactive can have lasting effects on your brand's impact.

    4. Wrapping Paper
      Who couldn't use some extra wrapping paper this time of year? We designed and printed wrapping paper with non-Christmas colors so it could be used all year round for birthdays or other occasions.

    5. Notepads
      Another handy desk item sure to get used is a notepad. We packaged two notepads together, one with lined paper and one without lines in a handy bundle that can be easily taken to meetings.

    6. Poster
      An attractive poster that can brighten up an office or cubicle can work as a great gift. It also draws attention and curiosity when it comes in the mail as a tube.

    7. Mini Spa Package
      EPIC Specialty Benefits put together a mini spa package for their clients during the enrollment season for insurance which is always a busy time at the end of the year. (See a video of its production.)

    8. Coloring/Activity Book
      Great Wolf Lodge gives out coloring and activity books for kids which can provide hours of entertainment at a low price.

    9. Recipe Cards/Seed Packets
      If you still want to send food, why not send some recipe cards or seed packets along with them, that will stick around longer than the food itself? Seeds planted in the new year can remind your client about your business when they bloom or ripen in the spring/summer.
