The 6 Most Important Points of Corporate Gifting to Know
You might not realize it, but business gifts are an incredibly important part of working life today! That’s because gifting leaves a lasting impression with the recipient — who could be an employee, a customer or a client. Even prospective clients! When done correctly corporate gifting is a great way to make a positive, memorable connection. And that’s great for your business!
Notice that part where we said when done correctly? That’s where we come in! After all, corporate gifts can be as simple as a handwritten thank you note, or as complicated as a large, elaborate gift basket.
Because gifting can take so many forms, the whole thing can sound difficult and time consuming. We at Goodly are here to help! Let’s take a look at the top six (and yes, there really are six!) criteria for corporate gifting.
1) The Quality of the Gift
It matters almost above everything else: the quality of your gift. You’re looking to make a lasting impression, while also giving a gift that represents your company or brand. We believe in getting a good value for the money spent, but the last thing you want is for your company to look chintzy or cheap. That’s why you should think Goodly! Our amazing and unique gifts offer a ton of value, look gorgeous, and are useful to boot!
Every item in our Sunshine Gift Box, above, comes in bright and sunny hues, from the yellow Leuchtturm journal to the bright, chic tumbler and the colorful tin of yummy mints. We think it will be tough not to smile when gazing at the contents of this uniquely yellow gift box! It’s an ideal employee appreciation gift, as well as a great thank-you or milestone celebration present!
2) Timely delivery to the recipient
Once upon a time, Goodly was known as The Sock Drawer. For 12 years we sent socks all over the US as well as all over the world, and along the way we cultivated relationships with many shippers. We’ve brought that knowledge with us into the gift box world! We can handle shipping logistics in our sleep. You can trust us to take care of your shipping needs, no matter how simple or how complex!
3) The simplicity of the process
We know how valuable your time is, so we strive to make the gifting process as easy and streamlined as possible. First, we deeply vet all of our products and vendors. We’re looking for brands that match our values, including ethical sourcing, sustainability, and giving back, as well as making the most unique and interesting items around. Second, as we mentioned above, we’ve been an e-commerce powerhouse since 2011. We bring those years of experience to the gifting game and believe in treating our customers like gold.
4) The usefulness of the gift to the recipient
The Travel Gift Box above contains an airplane-ready reusable water bottle, a sticky note pad of packing lists and more items that globetrotters are sure to appreciate. Fact is, all of our thoughtfully curated gift boxes are specifically designed for different needs. Is your recipient a wine lover? Check. Coffee’s more their jam? Sure. Wait, is jam their actual jam? Foodie Gift Box to the rescue! We’ve got great onboarding gifts for new hires, special gift boxes that are ideal for employee appreciation, and other gifts perfect for anniversaries and other milestones.
Can’t find exactly what you want or need? No problem: Go nuts and design your own gift box!
5) The variety of gifts available
We’d make a joke about how variety is our middle name … except it’s kinda true. To make things a bit easier, we’ve grouped our stunning variety of gift options into categories like Kitchen & Bar, Pets, and more. Can’t find what you want with categories? Try our themes, like Funny, Outdoor or Travel. We’ve even grouped our gift ideas by recipient, like Gifts For Her, Gifts for Dad and more.
Still, if you can’t find what you need, just let us know! We’re always happy to help!
6) The packaging of the gift

Goodly’s branded gift boxes are designed to impress! Because we want to wow the recipient when unboxing time comes, we hand-pack each order, embracing an assortment of complementary colors, textures and sizes. Then we finish with our signature colorful yarn and even a special link to a music playlist. Our sturdy boxes are also packed to ensure the safety of all the items inside. Even for international shipping! Best of all, our gorgeous boxes are meant to be reused.
With our huge variety of quality gift items and curated gift boxes, we’ve got your business gifting needs covered. We can help with everything from employee milestone gifts to client appreciation and everything in between, and we can ship just about anywhere.
