As the Year Ends, Gifting Season Begins

The end of the year brings celebrations, gratitude, and — if you’re in business — the perfect opportunity to show appreciation.
Whether you’re recognizing your team or thanking loyal clients, corporate holiday gifting is one of the most effective ways to strengthen relationships and elevate your brand.

But here’s the secret: the most successful corporate gifting programs start early.

Why Planning Ahead Matters

When you plan your gifting early (October and November), you get:

🎁 Better selection of premium, Canadian-made products.
⏰ Guaranteed delivery before the holiday rush.
🖋 Free customization options — branded tags, personalized thank-you cards, or ribbon colors that match your company.

At Northern Sentiments, we make it effortless to plan ahead so you can enjoy a stress-free season — and gifts that truly make an impression.

Why Corporate Gifting Works

A thoughtful gift does more than look good — it builds connection.

Clients feel valued. A beautifully branded gift strengthens relationships.
Employees feel appreciated. Recognition goes a long way in boosting morale.
Your brand stands out. Premium packaging and quality products reflect professionalism and care.

Corporate gifting is one of the most cost-effective ways to create lasting goodwill — especially during the holidays.

When it comes to corporate gifting, first impressions matter. Whether you’re celebrating employees, welcoming new clients, or preparing for a major event, packaging plays a key role in the gift experience. So—should you go with a gift bag or a gift box?

Let’s break down when each option shines and how to choose the right packaging for your corporate gifting needs.

🛍️ When to Choose Gift Bags

Branded gift bags are perfect for large-scale events, conferences, and in-person gatherings where convenience and cost-effectiveness are key.

Why gift bags work:

Easy to Carry
Gift bags are ideal for recipients who are moving around—whether at a conference or company event. They’re lightweight, portable, and easy to bring home.
Budget-Friendly, Elevated Options
Paper gift bags are affordable, but you can easily upgrade the experience with canvas totes or reusable branded gift bags. These offer a more premium, eco-friendly feel while staying within budget.
Quick to Assemble
Perfect for tight timelines and high-volume orders—gift bags are easy to pack and distribute quickly.

💡 Pro Tip: Add custom tissue paper, branded hang tags, or foil-stamped labels to instantly elevate your gift bags and reinforce your branding.

🎁 When to Choose Gift Boxes

Custom gift boxes are best for more curated, meaningful moments—like client appreciation gifts, employee anniversary gifts, or holiday gifting.

Why gift boxes work:

The Unboxing Experience
A well-designed gift box makes an impression from the moment it’s received. With premium finishes, magnetic closures, and custom inserts, the unboxing experience feels more intentional and high-end.
Keepsake Value
Many of our corporate clients love that recipients often keep the boxes—using them as storage or décor. It extends the life of your brand and makes the gift more memorable.
Safe for Delicate Items
If you’re sending gourmet treats, breakables, or beautifully arranged product assortments, rigid gift boxes provide the extra protection needed for shipping.

🧭 How to Choose: A Quick Guide

Ask yourself:

Will the gift be handed out at an event or shipped?
Do you want the packaging to be functional, impressive—or both?
Are you gifting in volume or focusing on a small group?
What’s your per-gift budget for packaging?

Both options can be elevated with the right details. It’s all about matching the format to the occasion and ensuring your packaging feels like an extension of your brand.
