Client and partner appreciation
The relationships outside the building that made the year work.
The client contact who came through in Q2. The agency partner who delivered under pressure. The supplier who prioritised your account. December is the moment to acknowledge the external relationships that your year depended on — before they close for the holidays and before your competitors do it first.
“This year worked because of the partnership we built together. Thank you for everything.”
Best sent: Second week of December — early enough to arrive before offices close

6 gift ideas for client and partner appreciation.
Premium Branded Gift Box
Lifestylee.g. Quality branded unboxing experience
The external gift needs to carry your brand properly. Quality box, your colours, tissue paper, ribbon, a handwritten card. The unboxing experience is the first impression — make it one that represents you well.
Fine Spirits or Wine Selection
Lifestylee.g. Premium whisky, champagne, or wine
The external relationship gift that has worked for decades and keeps working. A note that names something specific about the year you shared is what elevates it from a bottle to a gesture.
