04 Nov Sigma’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Wish List
While I may not have the same clout as Oprah, I still love this time of year where we talk a little about some of our FAVOURITE things for the holiday season, specifically when it comes to branded gifts. Whether you are looking to appreciate your staff, clients, donors, or even vendors, here are some of my top picks that I would have on my wish list!
Gifts for the home
These gifts are the perfect addition to any home! This Swissmar 12 pc fondue set is perfect for entertaining during the holidays and can be used for fondue, or even for veggies and dip. Perfect for hosting at the next party or gathering and has your branding etched right onto the bamboo service tray. While we’re still talking kitchen items, this Cole & Mason™ Oil and Vinegar Dispenser is super classy, great for entertaining, can be used with any number of vinegar and oils. We could even kit this together with a beautiful bottle of vinegar and oil for the perfect gift set! For a comfy cozy snuggle session on the couch, this Micro Mink Sherpa Blanket is so warm and soft, perfect for the holiday season when the weather gets cooler and you want to get cozy with your favourite holiday movie and yummy snacks on the couch.
Gifts for the taste buds
Food always make me happy, so I had to include some delish treats that make great holiday gifts! First, this popcorn party gift box is so fun and gives you a variety of flavorings, the popcorn and a branded bowl to enjoy with the whole family – there is something in there for all tastes! For a smaller gifting idea, these Hot Chocolate bombs are a great option to add on to another item, or even just as a great gift by themselves! Filled with delicious marshmallows, simply place the chocolate bomb into your mug, pour 10 oz of hot milk over it and watch the bomb unravel before your eyes! Great for holiday desk drops for staff, or pair with a branded mug like this one, for a delicious treat! For me, the holidays are all about baked goods, so I love these ginger bread house cookie kits, a gift that gives a great experience to be enjoyed with family and friends, and you have a delicious treat afterwards! The packaging makes for a great large branding opportunity to any cool custom messaging you may want clients or staff to know too.
Gifts for Self-Care
Treat someone to the lovely gift of self-care items this holiday season! The holidays can be a stressful time for a lot of people, so gifting self-care branded items can be a great strategy to stay top of mind. Candles are a great way to foster relaxation, and crafted right here in Canada, these maple candles embody the essence of our nation’s iconic flavor. Each candle is handcrafted with care and made from a quality blend of soy and coconut wax for a clean, enduring burn and the maple fragrance will fill the air with a comforting warmth. For some deeper relaxation, we have these great bath bombs, crafted locally in Ontario, these are a great way for recipients to relax and decompress during the holidays. Or, check out this great care kit that includes two chocolate cookies with a holiday message or thank you, lip balm (perfect for those dry winter months), coffee packet with mug and mint tin, all packaged together with a custom satin ribbon. Perfect for a morning or evening to yourself that comes in such a classy looking gift set!
Gifts to stay Healthy
Feeling like you want to inspire recipients for the new year with some fitness items? Look no further! The Warrior fitness mat is a versatile mat that’s perfect for Yoga, Crossfit, warm-ups, aerobics, Zumba, and really any other health and wellness activity you may need a mat for. And it is EXTRA thick, so recipients will for sure use it and see it as a gift with high perceived value. And if you want to add in a little extra fitness fun, I think these exercise cubes are such a great idea! You roll the cube and let the odds guide your workout with the suggested exercises; five sides with five exercises: 15 lunges, 15 burpees, 15 pushups, 15 squats, 1 min planks. And of course, one side with your branding! Encourage healthy eating with these Bento boxes, great for recipients to use to meal prep their own healthy lunches and snacks for the day!
Gifts for on the move
For anyone commuting or travelling, here are some great gift ideas to consider! First, this power bank is amazing, made with eco recycled materials and a leaning stand so you can charge your phone and use it at the same time! The leatherette finish really adds to the value on this great power bank option that has great utility, but also looks great! Then, we have this great essential water bottle holder which I love, drawing on the fanny pack trend, but also trending to keep yourself hydrated, this is a great piece if you are commuting, going out and want to bring a bottle or tumbler with you but don’t want to lug a large backpack, and it come with a zipper pouch for your valuables! And then last but not least, wow recipients with a fully custom luggage piece! These full colour custom carry on bags start at just one unit and are a great option to showcase your brand!
Beautiful Gift Packages
Looking for a nice gift set or box that will wow recipients? Look no further than these gorgeous gift boxes. This all wrapped up gift set is lovely with a blanket, mug and cookies – all you need to feel snuggled up and warm on a cozy winter day! And the throw blanket in the set is gorgeous! In a similar vein, we have this beautiful Leeman accessories gift set that comes with a matching toque, scarf and blanket, all branded with a debossed patch which elevates the look and feel of the gift set – super classy and nice! This Whistler kit is a modern kit that includes a trendy unisex beanie with a branded patch, a Pro Bluetooth key finder and a pocket-sized speaker. All items are branded and packed in a high-end magnetic gift box for a wow factor gift! Gift sets are a great option to give recipients a variety of items that they can use in multiple areas of their life.
Gifts they can wear
Of course, apparel is a huge category for gifts, and so I saved the best for last! First off, this made in Canada heavyweight style button down placket sweater is gorgeous and comes in so many great colours! Its relaxed fit and slightly tapered design make it perfect for blocking the cold and effortlessly takes you from work to play. Handcrafted in Canada with our 4-needle flat-lock stitching, it’s built for maximum durability and comfort! If you want to gift a winter jacket this year, you have to check out the new Stormtech Tundra Jacket. The Tundra Thermal Jacket lets you warm up in comfort with a high-efficiency Thermolex™ quilted body and a 100% windproof, water repellent outer shell. It’s made with 100% Recycled Nylon fabric for a reduced environmental footprint too, so you can feel warm about your impact too. Looking for something people can wear but don’t want to worry about sizing? These touchscreen gloves are a great option, with two conductive fingers on each glove and a PU Leather palm for extra grip! Keep your hands warm this holiday season while still being able to open your phone and snap those pics of your friends and family!
