The best non-food corporate gifts for people who have had enough hampers
Pottery kits, body care, national park glassware, luxury hotel gifting and UK hampers from eight brands sending to full recipient lists.
By the second week of December, most people on your list have received four hampers and eaten none of them.
Non-food gifting solves that, and it solves the dietary problem at the same time. The gifts below are the ones that survive being sent to a list where you don't know anyone's allergies, preferences or whether they drink.

What these brands have in common
They share the same gifting layer: Giftnote Multi-Gift. One order, many recipients, a message each, addresses checked first.
That last part matters more with gifts of this kind than with almost anything else. A corporate gift
is the only marketing you send that someone opens on purpose, and the brands here have built
their gifting so that moment lands properly rather than arriving as an anonymous parcel with a
packing slip in it.
And for the supplier, a corporate order is the cheapest customer acquisition in the business.
Frequently asked questions
How do you send corporate gifts to lots of different addresses?
One Shopify order, one shipping address. Anything beyond that (per-recipient shipments, validated addresses, individual messages) has to come from an app. Every brand listed here does this through Giftnote Multi-Gift.
Can you write a different message for each recipient?
Yes, all of them. Same message to everyone, a different note per person, or nothing.
When should you order corporate gifts for the holidays?
Well ahead of the date you need. Where the brand offers a chosen ship date, ordering early costs you nothing.
Do you need a minimum order for corporate gifting?
Some do, some don't. Where a minimum applies it's stated on the shop before checkout.
