Advent is a magical time! Anticipation breaks through the dark and cold of winter. Streets, houses and trees are bathed in soft light, and the scent of pine and biscuits hangs in the air. With each door of the Advent calendar, Christmas draws nearer. But this also raises the question: What should I give as gifts this year – to friends, colleagues, customers and also family? The top gift is still a voucher or cash. But shared experiences and, above all, personalised gifts are becoming increasingly popular – they bring special joy and are remembered for a long time.
The annual financial statements are due – a good opportunity to thank customers for their trust and cooperation over the past months. A carefully chosen Christmas gift expresses appreciation and strengthens business relationships. In the business world in particular, little gifts make an important difference. In addition to classics and bestsellers, such as a bottle of wine or sparkling wine, a glass or fine chocolates, popular gifts also include useful gadgets and beautiful accessories. A personalised gift in particular can stand out positively from other customer gifts.
