Planning the holiday party gift?
Lock in picks and pricing now. We produce early, store it free, and deliver to the venue or to every home address in December.
Let's be honest: most company Christmas party gifts are forgettable. The branded mug with a generic "Happy Holidays" message. The gift card that feels like your company couldn't be bothered to pick something.
Your team knows the difference between "we genuinely appreciate you" and "HR had a budget line item to spend." The gifts you hand out at the holiday party communicate which one it is, loud and clear.
We've helped companies put together Christmas party gifts ranging from small stocking stuffers to premium executive gift boxes. Here's what we've learned about what people actually like, and what ends up in the office lost and found by January.
Gift Sets: The Smartest Move for Holiday Parties
Individual gifts are fine, but curated gift sets make a bigger impression for the same (or less) money. There's something about opening a box with three or four coordinated items that feels more intentional than receiving a single item, even if the total value is similar.
The Holiday Cheer Merch Pack is our entry-level holiday set, designed to make people genuinely pleased, not politely pleased. The kind of reaction where they start showing their coworkers what's in the box.
For a more premium option, the Winter Warmth Merch Pack leans into cozy winter vibes. Warm apparel and drinkware that makes December feel less brutal.
And for executive gifts or clients, the Executive Gift Merch Pack hits that sweet spot between generous and tasteful. This is the box that makes people text their spouse "you won't believe what I got at the holiday party."
Cozy Apparel: The Gift People Wear Home
December is cold in most of the US. Cozy branded apparel is a slam dunk because people can literally wear it home from the party.
The Classic Hoodie is our top pick. Heavyweight fleece, modern fit, the kind of hoodie that becomes someone's go-to for weekend errands. Don't overdo the branding. A small embroidered logo on the chest lets the quality speak for itself.
The Classic Crewneck is the slightly dressier alternative. Still comfortable, still warm, but looks more put-together. Good for teams where the vibe skews polished.
For headwear, the Waffle Cuffed Beanie is a winner. Looks good on everyone, takes embroidery well, and costs little enough to include in a larger gift. We've had companies order hundreds and run out every time.
The The North Face Truckstop Beanie is the premium version. TNF brand recognition plus real warmth.
And don't sleep on Crew Socks. Custom branded socks went from gag gift to genuinely popular holiday item. People wear them to the gym, on flights, around the house. Fun, practical, and at a few bucks a pair they're easy to add to any gift set.
Tech Gifts: The Wow-Factor Items
Tech is where you make people's eyes light up. A quality tech gift at the holiday party creates a genuine moment. People talk about it, they post about it.
The JBL Tune Flex 2 Wireless Earbuds are the sweet spot of price and impact. Real JBL sound, active noise canceling, and the charging case takes a logo perfectly. A gift that feels like it cost way more than it did.
For the ultimate holiday flex: Sony Noise Canceling Headphones. Expensive, yes. But giving someone Sony over-ears at a holiday party is the kind of gesture that defines a company's reputation. Best reserved for top performers or smaller teams.
The Mophie Wireless Power Bank is the practical tech gift everyone appreciates. Wireless charging, portable, and actually useful daily.
Notebooks and Writing: The Tasteful Touch
The Karst Stone Paper Hardcover Notebook is our favorite holiday pick. Stone paper feels different from regular paper: smoother, more durable, doesn't bleed. People always comment on it. Plus the sustainability angle (no trees, waterproof) gives it a talking-point factor most gifts don't have.
The Essential Hardcover Notebook is budget-friendly but still feels premium. Pair it with a Parker Jotter Ballpoint or Baronfig Squire Pen and you've got a complete desk set that punches above its weight.
Specialty and Luxury Items
Godiva Gold Collection 15pc. Nothing says holiday like really good chocolate. Pairs beautifully with a branded tumbler or notebook.
Modern Sprout Rooted Candle. After the candle burns down, there are wildflower seeds embedded in the wax. You plant the remaining wax and flowers grow. It's a conversation piece and a gift in one.
Budget Tiers
Under $25 per person: Beanie + socks + sticker combo, or a nice notebook with a pen.
$25-50 per person: A quality tumbler or the Holiday Cheer pack. This is where gifts start to feel substantial.
$50-100 per person: Hoodie or crewneck + drinkware combo, or tech like JBL earbuds. The sweet spot for most companies.
$100+ per person: Executive gift boxes, Sony headphones, Patagonia jackets. For smaller teams or top performers.
Quick Tips
Order early. September early. November is chaos for custom merch. Lead times stretch, stock runs out, options narrow.
Don't make it all about the logo. Holiday gifts should feel personal, not promotional.
Consider a merch store. For teams over 50, let everyone pick their own gift within a budget. Eliminates the sizing and preference problem entirely.
Include a card. Even a simple "thanks for a great year" card makes it feel intentional rather than obligatory.
Common Questions
When should I order holiday gifts? September or early October for custom-branded items. By November, you're limited to in-stock items and rush shipping.
What if my team is remote? Ship directly to homes. Include a handwritten card and make sure the packaging looks like a gift, not a delivery.
Are gift cards better than physical gifts? Easier, not better. A thoughtful physical gift communicates care in a way an Amazon gift card doesn't.
