Holiday gifting looks a little different depending on the type of business.
A coffee shop may be thinking about stocking stuffers and logo merchandise.
A gift shop may be looking for small, easy-to-sell items under $20.
A realtor may want something thoughtful for past clients.
A golf course may need member gifts, tournament gifts or premium items for the pro shop.
That’s why holiday gifting works best when the product fits both the recipient and the way the business plans to use it.
Here are a few ideas by industry to make holiday planning easier.
Holiday Gift Ideas for Coffee Shops
Coffee shops have a natural advantage during the holiday season because so many giftable products already fit into the coffee experience.
Personalized merchandise can help create an easy holiday retail display while giving customers something useful and giftable.
Consider:
- Logo mugs
- Tumblers
- Coffee scoops
- Coasters
- Cup sleeves
- Coffee themed gift sets
A small holiday display can be built around simple items customers can grab while they’re already ordering coffee.
You can also bundle a personalized item with coffee beans, syrups or a gift card to create a more complete gift.
Easy Holiday Merchandising Idea
Create a small display with a sign such as:
Gifts for the Coffee Lover
Then group products together by price point or use.
For example:
Under $15: Coffee scoop, coaster or cup sleeve
Under $25: Mug or tumbler
Gift Set: Personalized drinkware + coffee + gift card
Keeping the display simple helps customers quickly find an easy gift.
Holiday Gift Ideas for Gift Shops + Visitor Centers
Holiday shoppers are often looking for something small, local and easy to give.
That makes gift shops and visitor centers a great fit for personalized products featuring:
- Town names
- State designs
- Destination artwork
- Local landmarks
- Business logos
Some of the easiest holiday products include:
- Keychains
- Bottle openers
- Coasters
- Can koozies
- Small drinkware
- Stocking stuffers
- Local themed gifts
Create a Gifts Under $20 Section
One of the easiest ways to help holiday shoppers is to organize a section specifically around price.
A Gifts Under $20 display gives customers an immediate starting point and works especially well for:
- Stocking stuffers
- Hostess gifts
- Coworker gifts
- Small thank you gifts
- Travel souvenirs
- Last minute gifts
Personalized local designs can make these smaller items feel much more meaningful.
Can You Create Custom Designs for Our Town, Business or Destination?
Yes.
We can engrave your business logo, destination name, town or location specific artwork on many of our wholesale products.
Custom local designs work especially well for gift shops, visitor centers, coffee shops, resorts and tourism businesses looking for merchandise that feels specific to their location.
If you already have artwork, send it along with the products you’re interested in.
If you’re still deciding what products would work best, send us your approximate quantity and budget and we’ll help you narrow down some ideas.
Location specific gifts feel more meaningful.
Holiday Client Gift Ideas for Realtors + Title Companies
Holiday gifting gives real estate professionals another opportunity to stay connected with past clients without making the interaction feel overly promotional.
The best gifts feel warm, useful and appropriate for the home.
Ideas include:
- Personalized cutting boards
- Coasters
- Tumblers
- Welcome Home gift sets
- Kitchen gifts
- Curated housewarming gifts
A personalized cutting board or coaster set can be paired with:
- Local treats
- Kitchen towels
- Candles
- Olive oil
- Restaurant gift cards
- Coffee
- Small home essentials
This works especially well for past client appreciation or holiday gifting because the gift feels personal without being too sales focused.
New Home for the Holidays
A holiday version of a Welcome Home gift can be especially meaningful for clients who purchased a home during the year.
Start with a personalized home item and build a simple holiday gift around it.
The result feels thoughtful while still keeping your business connected to an important milestone in the client’s life.
Holiday Gift Ideas for Golf Courses + Country Clubs
Golf courses and country clubs have several different gifting opportunities during the holiday season.
These might include:
- Member gifts
- Tournament gifts
- Leadership gifts
- Pro shop merchandise
- Staff appreciation
- Sponsor gifts
- Corporate outing gifts
Personalized product ideas include:
- Golf bag tags
- Golf tumblers
- Valet boxes
- Coasters
- Can koozies
- Journals
- Executive gifts
A small personalized gift can work well for a larger member group, while a premium gift may be a better fit for leadership, tournament winners or VIP members.
Make the Gift Specific to the Event
Adding the club logo is a great starting point.
But you can also make the gift more meaningful with:
- Tournament artwork
- Event name
- Year
- Member name
- Winner designation
- Custom message
That small detail can turn an everyday product into a keepsake.
Holiday Gifting for Every Kind of Business
There isn’t one perfect holiday gift for every business.
The best option depends on:
Who you’re gifting
How many you need
Your budget
How the gift will be used
A coffee shop may need affordable retail merchandise.
A visitor center may need locally themed stocking stuffers.
A realtor may want a thoughtful client gift.
A golf course may be planning member gifts or tournament awards.
Once you know the recipient and budget, choosing the right product becomes much easier.
