30 Unique Christmas Gift Ideas for loved ones: Perfect for the Holiday Season

We want to show you a list of gifts that will make a hit this Christmas. Christmas is the time of gifts par excellence. Families give each other gifts and companies usually give their clients or employees small promotional gifts that take on a special meaning at this time. If you have run out of ideas to make your company Christmas gifts, we give you 30 possibilities that are a real success.

1. A calendar for the coming year is always a good idea

A desk calendar is a great Christmas gift, as well as being one of the most effective marketing methods for any company, regardless of the sector of activity they are involved in. You can choose the typical cardboard and paper spiral calendars or more sophisticated electronic calendar models to print the logo or message of your choice.

2. Original gifts for pastry shops

Bring out the sweet side! With these products, your clients will remember you every time they decide to spend their free time in the kitchen. Baking moulds for cupcakes, cakes, and various muffins with fun decorations is now fashionable. Complete your baking pack with a fun, personalized apron, and you will be the king of Christmas gifts.

3. Personalized digital photo frames

Who doesn’t like to have their best memories on display? This type of item has become very popular since digital photos came on the market. You can put hundreds of photos in one frame and let them change as a slideshow. It’s a very nice and modern way to share your best moments with your loved ones forever. If you are more traditional and like to give beautiful photographs or photomontages on paper, wooden or aluminum frames with original shapes are for you. There are even tree-shaped photo frames where you can put photos of the little ones in the house as they grow. Companies offer you the possibility of including your message in these frames. What a cool idea!

4. Gift packs for boyfriends, children, or babies are a delight

Whether you’re watching a movie at home, taking a relaxing bath… there are thousands of options! Travel packages are very popular, as well as all kinds of coupons and discount sets for restaurants. Invite your loved ones to a spa for a luxurious weekend. They’ll never forget the great gift you gave them. A popular gift for the whole family is gift packs for children, with activities at their favorite theme parks or discounts on movies and games. And if you’re the boss of an important company and you want to treat your best employees this Christmas, don’t hesitate to give them cheap Christmas baskets with all kinds of food. 

5. Personalized garden set with your name

It is becoming increasingly common to see small urban gardens or gardens installed on balconies in busy city life. Therefore, a good gift to lovers of horticulture and floristry is a complete gardening set with tools for raking the soil, shovels, gloves, pruning shears, a water vaporizer, and a large bag to store them. Also, if you personalize the bag with the person’s name, it will be a unique, non-transferable, and practical gift!!

Another option is aprons with garden tools such as planting trowel scissors to cut twigs and arrange flowers. These aprons can be printed with the design of your choice.

6. Cool gifts for unique athletes 

Nowadays, who doesn’t do sports or go on excursions? If you’re thinking of giving a really useful gift to a sports friend or your teammates, have you already thought about the possibility of making some bottles with a motivational phrase? It’s a good way always to remind them that sport is the best way to start the day, and to encourage them to continue towards the goal.

Now that protein and vitamin shakes are so popular, with all kinds of fruits and cereals, so beneficial for physical performance, another great option is to give away personalized bottles: there are bottles with a shaker with which they can carry the shake with them without spilling a drop, and help to mix all the ingredients well. There are also the classic bottles for the bike, with an extendable cap, or metal bottles with refrigerant, so you can take the drink cold.

7. A delicious cup with a phrase for breakfast

We all use mugs in our homes, whether for coffee, breakfast, or even for those who drink water from a mug, which is why it is a very useful gift for everyone.

While it is true that there is a boom in brands that launch their own line of mugs with motivational and philosophical phrases, there are also models of mugs that are different from the rest, such as mugs with a chalkboard finish, so that you can leave a morning message for your loved one and change it every day; there are also mugs with special Christmas designs; mugs in bright colors for children; and mugs with a teapot that are always a classic and very complete gift.

A detail that they will love and that is also very fashionable is to cover the mugs with fun crochet or wool covers to prevent them from burning their hands and, at the same time, keep them warm.

8. Personalize t-shirts or sweaters with Christmas motifs

A Christmas gift that you can adapt to every taste. Surprise your family or friends by giving them a personalized t-shirt with a nice message or with the design of their favorite fictional character. For these dates, it is best to choose a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt model that they can enjoy and not get cold. They are very useful for having a good day in the snow and wearing them under the ski equipment, giving a fun touch to the occasion.

Another solution is to combine a nice sweater embroidered with your name in Christmas red, and a Santa Claus hat to celebrate the holidays.

9. A travel sewing kit will get you out of a bind

In every home we need a small sewing kit to sew on a button, even if we are not very handy, so this is another practical gift to give to your clients. It will also be very beneficial if they carry it in their toiletry bag. For this, practical travel sewing sets are available, which have everything necessary for a last-minute emergency: needles, threads of various colors, scissors, hooks, and safety pins. Please note that if you purchase them from a promotional gift company, you can personalize each set with the name of the company, association, or brand that is giving them away.

10. Why not decorate the office tree with your logo?

Every company has a Christmas tree or corner decorated for these dates. Take advantage of this opportunity to give them accessories and personalized ornaments with your logo so that they will remember you fondly.

Keep in mind that the ornaments should be somewhat eye-catching and not just have the logo since this way, they will be more likely to be attractive to the eye and be used again the following year. Try to leave a good memory.

There are ornaments as varied as Christmas balls with glitter to which you can add a nice card, balls that open to leave a message inside, figurines with a special area for marking, headbands with lights, anti-stress balls in the shape of Santa Claus on which you can stamp the logo, etc.

If you prefer a simple decoration that they can put on their office desk, there are numerous details available to personalize, such as small trees with lights, glass paperweights, Christmas candles, or pens with Christmas dolls.

11. Glasses to celebrate Christmas Eve

What better way to give them than at this time of year? There are all kinds of special Christmas baskets and packs for lovers of good wine. Briefcases with a saber to open the champagne bottle and two glasses to celebrate that special occasion. There are also wine and sausage sets with a decanter or cooler. This is one of the most highly rated gifts, and also, remember that they can always be accompanied by a box of chocolates or an elegant basket with Christmas decorations. There are also bottle boxes or special shopping bags to place the bottles so they don’t break. These bags can also be personalized with your signature or brand, making them a very corporate gift.

12. Promotional pens and pens with the company’s signature

They are an elegant Christmas gift that always makes you look good, and they are also products that customers will use every day for a long period of time. You can give a complete set of ballpoint pens, fountain pens, and mechanical pencils of excellent quality and designed by major brands.

If you don’t want to stamp your logo on the pen itself, make sure the set comes in a presentation box so the promotional gift company can stamp it, and the logo will be visible when receiving the gift and more discreet when using it. On the other hand, if you want your logo to be remembered whenever the pen is used, we recommend that the logo be legible at a small size and not have very small details since this way, when stamping it on the small surface of the pen or mechanical pencil it will be perfectly readable. Consult professionals if you are not sure. There are thicker pen models that may fit better with your design.

13. Warm and original winter accessories

Gloves, hats, and scarves to cope with the winter cold. Do you want to give them a personal touch? Print your name or logo on them and give them away while you are at an event in the middle of December. They will surely appreciate it.

Here is an idea: Will you participate in an outdoor event or conference with your brand? We recommend that you give away some practical touchscreen gloves with which they can use their mobile devices and keep their hands warm.

There are also entire accessory sets with gloves, hats, and scarves at very affordable prices, including printing.

14. Eco-friendly Christmas gifts for scrapbookers

A notebook made from recycled paper is always ideal for scrapbooking projects. If your clients like crafts, create a kit with this notebook and accessories to carry out this type of crafts and give it to them. They will be delighted to have so many new tools to develop their creativity. There are notebooks, folders, recyclable diaries, pens made from recycled cardboard, and all kinds of covers and binders made from craft paper that they can fill with their photos and paper decorations. A challenge for the most imaginative!

15. Surprise them with fun pajamas

There are more and more accessories and clothing of all kinds dedicated to the Christmas holidays. Take the opportunity to personalize your Christmas pajamas and break away from the norm. Are you tired of always seeing the same type of pajamas or t-shirts with the classic Christmas motifs that everyone wears? Create your own design and print it on a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt and thermal tights that they can use as underwear for their outings in the mountains. These garments are already specially made to be screen printed or embroidered, so you will only have to consult your personalized clothing specialist to guide you through the process.

16. Natural soaps made with your own hands

We recommend giving this item to establishments dedicated to personal care, such as spas, physiotherapy, and physical care centers, or accommodations such as hotels and hostels. If you think just a few bars of soap is an incomplete gift, you can decorate them in a small box and accompany them with promotional towels bearing your establishment’s branding. You can also include some soft washcloths so that they can give themselves a massage while they enjoy a relaxing bath after a hard day’s work. Without a doubt, bath sets are one of the most sought-after gifts by relaxation centers and hotels because they are suitable for both long-time clients and new guests.

17. Get ahead of summer with a portable barbecue kit

Who doesn’t like meeting friends and family for a barbecue when the weather is nice and warm? We are used to seeing the classic built-in barbecues or large metal barbecues, which are a bit cumbersome when it comes to moving to the countryside or excursions. Why not give them a portable barbecue to make a small snack in the middle of the morning? These barbecues began to be used a few years ago. The model designed by the famous English chef Jamie Oliver stands out, which has a spherical shape, with a lid that allows the heat to be conserved and prevents ashes and sparks from flying. A very original, practical, and safe gift. Also, consider the possibility of personalizing it with your brand.

18. A classic and cheap gift: felt Christmas keychains

An excellent and practical Christmas gift, we all carry our house keys, garage keys, car keys, etc., in our pockets, so your clients will remember your company name several times a day. You can also choose a personalized bag hanger with your logo or different types of key rings to hang from the zipper of your bag and decorate it.

19. Create your own puzzle with a unique design

Printing a large puzzle with a custom design can be very expensive, and for this, you would have to go to a company specializing in wooden or cardboard puzzles that could make a custom puzzle. But there is always a cheaper option that suits all budgets. If you want to make a small gift that attracts attention, we recommend choosing a puzzle you can see in the image below, made of plastic and with a small frame that allows the pieces to slide and not fall out. In addition, it is much easier to print with your logo so that you will have your personalized company puzzle in no time.

20. Chocolate bonbons and Christmas assortments

Sweets are always a popular gift, especially at this time of year when we meet up with friends and family for lunch and dinner. Who doesn’t like them? The best option for companies and teams is to give a sweet Christmas basket with chocolates, nougats, marzipan, and liqueurs. What do you think of this original basket with various chocolates accompanied by various beers?

21. Promote your business with a nice umbrella

A great and very practical corporate gift for Christmas, this is one of the times of the year when you can use it, and you will also get your brand to be carried around the streets, and not only your client will see the brand, but also anyone they come across.

There are not only umbrellas for the rain. Using umbrellas in the summer months is becoming increasingly fashionable to take shelter from the sun. They are a type of umbrella with a larger size to project more shade and dissipate the sun’s rays; they began to be used a lot thanks to the rise of sports such as golf, which requires good accessories to protect against long hours under the sunlight.

22. Everything you need to go on a picnic

If your customers like outdoor getaways, they will get a lot of use from this gift. We are talking about all kinds of utensils for having their snacks or meals outside: from plastic cutlery, with matching cups and plates, to bottles to keep their drinks cool, coolers for cans or thermally insulated backpacks to carry their freshly made sandwiches so they can last all day.

Due to their aesthetics and functionality, some of the most popular items are picnic baskets and backpacks, ready-made with all the necessary utensils to make your snacks. The great advantage of these backpacks is that you can mark them with your signature in a discreet place; in this way, they will be reminded of your company, but without being too aggressive. Many backpacks have a built-in blanket and even a special refrigerator compartment to carry fresh food and fruit.

23. You don’t have to give the most expensive wine

We all know that giving a good wine is always a good idea. But you don’t need to spend a fortune to impress your clients or guests. There are Christmas baskets and sets that come very well prepared with all kinds of products that are worthwhile in terms of quality and price without having to invest a large amount of money that we would otherwise spend on just one bottle.

Focus on making a complete gift and not on surprising with a specific high-quality product. Sometimes, these kinds of expensive gifts are taken as ostentation, and that can play a trick on us.

We, therefore, recommend that you choose a type of food set with wine or liquors that the guests like and that are balanced in quality with each other: that is, if, for example, the bottle of wine is not from a major brand, we can compensate for this by accompanying it with a good assortment of Iberian cold cuts or decorating it in a box that can be reused as a flower pot or for decoration. There are also accessories for wine lovers, such as decanters or modern electric bottle openers, which will be a delight to be able to try with everyone at the table.

24. Original electronic gifts: the kings of Christmas

Every year, a new smartphone, computer, or electronic accessory comes onto the market, becoming fashionable, and everyone wants it. It’s a good time to watch the latest merchandising that goes on sale since you can be the first to give away an original gadget or gizmo that will leave a great memory at that event you attended with your company. This year, for example, new document folders with a power bank for mobile phones included have gone on sale, which is very useful at all kinds of conferences and events. Another of the electronic gifts that are having the most acceptance this Christmas are virtual reality glasses: you can find them from the simplest and cheapest models to the most complex and highest quality ones. Portable speakers for mobile phones, protective bags for tablets or smartwatches with logos are other new technological products that promotion agencies are looking for the most. You have to be very attentive to be the first!!

25. Scented candles with phrases are very relaxing

Perfect for all kinds of environments: home, office, restaurants. Wherever you put a candle, it always creates a relaxing atmosphere and an aroma that helps you to disconnect. Take advantage of the possibility that printing companies give you to be able to obtain your personalized scented candles and incense with the logo or message you want to leave to your followers and clients. New models of decorated candles are always launched at Christmas, so the possibilities are endless. You can combine them with various relaxing products such as anti-stress balls, bath and aroma sets, massage products, etc.

26. Kitchen magnets: a very economical classic

A small, classic gift like a kitchen magnet is a great idea for a company Christmas gift. Nowadays, classic fridge magnets are available, and you can also choose magnetic whiteboards with a small notepad and a pen for taking notes.

27. Don’t forget the tea lovers

Tea is becoming more and more fashionable. Its many varieties and properties make it a natural product widely accepted by society. Giving these tea accessories as a gift is a sure success. There is a whole ritual surrounding tea drinking, so you can take advantage of this fact and make a nice gift of a tea set, ranging from the classic teapot with a matching cup to a practical box for storing the different types of tea.

28. A photo book full of memories

This is a great Christmas gift where you can keep your best memories, and it never goes out of style. Commonly, photo albums are used in a binder style, but you can also buy a practical digital photo frame to scroll through the photos as a presentation.

29. Your clients also have children: remember that

We are always more concerned about giving gifts to our clients, and we never think about their loved ones. Why not give them gifts that they can use when they get home? They will surely be even more excited than having received any technological or more valuable product themselves. Remember that this type of gift for children must be well thought out, depending on the event they will be given out at, since it may not be very convenient, for example, to give away personalized blankets or stuffed animals at a conference of top businessmen. But yes, perhaps, if your company is going to participate in a charity event, this gift will make the public see a more loving component of your brand that they did not know.

You can create them to your liking, or to that of your client, choosing children’s products such as stuffed animals, blankets, candy containers… there are tons of possibilities!

30. Don’t forget the office

When the Christmas holidays are over, your clients will be back in the office, and what better way than to remember you with their personalized accessories? Staplers, tape holders, clip holders, cups… the best way to make sure you’re remembered! This type of office accessories will make their return to work easier . You can brand a variety of diaries, sticky note pads, New Year’s calendars, etc., with your logo.

With this list of Christmas gifts, you will surely have no doubts about what to choose this year and in the future. You see that these are timeless gifts that always come in handy. At CheapJunkie, we try to give advice that can be useful to all of us and, above all, always leave a good memory.

Happy Holidays!!!!
