Top 20 Promotional Christmas Gifts

 

Christmas cookies and holiday hearts… That's the way the season starts!

What comes to mind when you think of Christmas?  Is it food, drink, parties, presents or simply spending time with your loved ones? Whatever the reason, we all love that special time of year. Read on for some festive facts, tips about how to get into the festive spirit at work, as well as an edit of our top Christmas promotional gift ideas for businesses!

 

 Top Tips of How to get into the Christmas Spirit at Work:

• Set aside an hour of the day to put up a Christmas tree (even if it is a small, artificial one) and some decorations around the office, maybe some tinsel on the desks! This is a fun team building activity as well as a great way to start feeling festive in the lead up to Christmas.
• Swap the cups of tea for hot chocolate instead as a winter warmer in the office. This will bring happiness, smiles and warm your cockles on the cold days.
• Get creative with ‘Secret Santa’ and instead of scraping for those pennies (we’ve all been there), make homemade gifts for colleagues using recycled materials, as a cheaper and more imaginative alternative.
• Put on some cheesy Christmas tunes in the office, and sing your heart out. Ok, maybe only do this on Fridays…
• Everyone in the office should have an advent calendar! This will give a great feeling of nostalgia with a bonus... A small amount of chocolate is a great ‘pick-me-up’ when at work to keep you motivated.
• Have a little healthy competition and encourage colleagues to take it in turns to bake yummy mince pies, then vote for a winner at the end… not that any of us are competitive, are we?
• Lastly, we think looking like a fool at Christmas is a given, so don that special Christmas jumper that has been keeping the back of your wardrobe warm for the past year and embrace your silly side.
