Curated by our Gift Concierge team for the stories behind each gift. A graduate with learning disabilities finding her confidence. Four artists and one painting. Three women and a still on a remote Scottish island.
These are our top five corporate Christmas gift picks this season, all from women-owned brands. From chocolate buttons to Scottish gin, we've chosen gifts for clients, teams and festive events, at every price point.
1. The Graduate Inclusive Coffee
This season's Graduate Coffee celebrates Felicity, who joined the supported hospitality internship programme in 2023, drawn by her love of talking to people and matcha. Initially shy and unsure, she has grown in confidence and now enjoys chatting with staff and customers at the Covent Garden coffee shop. "When I first started I was shy," she says, "but the programme made me feel comfortable and confident."
Each bag of The Graduate Coffee helps create employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities. The programme cites a 95% unemployment rate among people with learning disabilities and reports that 81% of its job-ready graduates have been placed in employment. An original corporate gift for clients or a conference giveaway with real impact.
2. Sea of Daffodils Dark Chocolate Buttons
Four artists, one painting, a bag of dark chocolate buttons. Sea of Daffodils features artwork created together by Chris, Dom, Adam and Nicky, four artists with complex neurodiverse and physical support needs. Their artwork celebrates their creativity and helps create more opportunities for artists like them.
The dark chocolate buttons are made in the UK with ethically sourced cocoa and no palm oil, and come in a 100% compostable and biodegradable bag. An original corporate Christmas giveaway for conferences and events, combining great chocolate with a story worth sharing.
3. The Advent Candle
One candle, 24 evenings of Christmas. Light it for an hour each evening from 1 to 24 December and enjoy the scent of orange, clove and cinnamon. It burns for around 50 hours in all.
It is made by hand in small batches in a Norfolk micro-perfumery by a UK women-owned business, with natural soy wax and plant-based ingredients. It is double-wicked, vegan and cruelty-free.
4. The Christmas popcorn tin
Three flavours, three separate bags, one tin with a bow on it. Caramel, chocolate and Christmas pudding, 400g in all, made in small batches by a UK-based, women-led artisan brand. The caramel won a Great Taste Award in 2019.
All three are gluten free. The caramel is suitable for vegans, and the chocolate and Christmas pudding for vegetarians, which makes it an easy tin to send to a long client list or share round a team. When the popcorn has gone the tin stays, as a keepsake or for storage.
5. Lussa Gin
Getting to Jura takes two ferries. The island has just over 250 people, and in 2015 three of its women started making gin in a kitchen, out of a love of the place and of growing plants. They gather 15 botanicals from the hills, coastline, glens and gardens, and freeze them rather than drying them, which gives a zesty, aromatic, award-winning gin. Jura is also the island where George Orwell wrote 1984.
One for the clients on your list who would like to know the story of what they are pouring.
Before you order
-
Branding. A discreet logo can add a personal touch without overwhelming the design. Ask us about the options for each product and have your artwork ready as a vector file (PDF, .ai or .eps).
-
Lead times. Personalisation takes time, particularly for larger quantities. We recommend ordering in October or early November to allow time for branding, production and delivery.
