Want to get started with corporate gifting but on a limited budget? Have no fear! We have compiled a list of fun and inexpensive client gift ideas sure to impress in 2022. Keep scrolling to discover our top gift recommendations.
Why Give Client Gifts?
Maintain a relationship with clients on longer sales cycles
Promote your brand with lasting products
Use a "gift with purchase" strategy to drive sales
Client gifts can strengthen your business relationships and result in a major ROI. A common example of client gifting is realtor's gifts to home buyers/sellers. The gift expresses gratitude for the sale, celebrates the special occasion, and hopefully fosters the relationship for years until the client is ready to move again.
Buying in Bulk Saves in the Long Run
One way to bring down the cost of individual gifts is to spend more at once by buying in bulk. Even low quantity bulk purchases can really bring down the price per item compared to buying items one at a time as you need them.
Whether buying in bulk or one at a time, personalized gifts are a way to make a greater impact! No minimum personalized gifts are completely customizable to the individual. Whereas bulk personalized gifts (including drinkware, apparel, journals, and more) are typically personalized with recipient names added to a base design for an additional fee.
Client Gift Ideas - Inexpensive & Fun Gifts for 2022
Personalized Travel Tumblers
Drinkware is a popular gift option that doesn't have to break the bank. Look for non-brand name products to fit your budget while still getting high quality Stainless Steel dual-walled construction.
For only a few dollars more, personalize with the name of your recipients to really make an impact.
High End Candy
A sweet treat is a great way to get to a clients heart. Food gifts are great for clients with larger offices to share among the staff. In that case, consider a candy or treat tower.
Consider your delivery method and time of year when choosing your sweets, mailing chocolates to clients in summer may turn your gift into a mess.
Bottle of Wine & Custom Carrier
Pair a nice bottle of wine with a branded carrier for an impressive client gift that shows you care. Consider this gift after closing a big deal, for personal milestones, or during the holiday season.
An insulated or sustainably made carrier can take your gift to the next level!

Power banks come in hand during long flights, camping trips, or even during everyday adventures.
Engraved Charcuterie Board
