As we head into February, many of us are starting to look forward to longer days, some better weather (hopefully with some sunshine) and making plans for Bank Holiday weekends.
So, if you want to say thank you or surprise your teams or clients, now is the time to spring into action.
Whether it’s an Easter celebration or some springtime inspiration, in this blog, we’ve collated some of our favourite seasonal gift ideas.
An egg-cellent choice
Did you know that the first English chocolate egg was sold in 1873? And it’s believed that around 80-90 million chocolate eggs are now eaten in the UK every year!
It’s no surprise then that branded Easter eggs are always a popular order at this time of year, and perfect if you want to say an egg-stra big thank you. We have a vast selection to choose from too, meaning there’s something suitable for every taste, brand or budget.
Sweet inspiration
We’re big fans of these eco-friendly tubes, packed with mini Cadbury Creme Eggs or cute creme filled milk chocolate bunnies. In fact, we are big fans of these tubes full stop, which are UK made, fully recyclable and offer a large branding area. And if you aren’t a fan of eggs or bunnies, there are plenty of other options, from teas or biscuits to vegan treats.
These envelope-styled variety boxes offer the choice of Easter themed treats or an assortment of four chocolate bars. The boxes themselves are made from FSC approved card and are recyclable, biodegradable and compostable, whilst a full colour print to the entire box means you can give your branding a big boost.
Sticking with a chocolate theme, how about these sweet cones, full of colourful milk chocos. They pack a crunch (200g worth) whilst the printed label offers you space to customise with your brand and message.
As an alternative to chocolate, we like these fun Easter themed lollies. Made from hard boiled candy, they are available in either a rabbit or egg shape with a full colour tag. They are also suitable for vegetarians and are vegan friendly.
How about a hot cross bun to go with that mid-morning or afternoon cuppa? You can either add your logo with a hand screen printed edible wafer (black print only) or with a full colour digital printed card insert. All packaging is fully recyclable, and the buns are suitable for vegetarians.
And now, for something completely different…
Whilst chocolate is always an Easter winner, there are plenty of other ideas to explore, such as these UK made, super cute fluffy logo-bugs. Choose from an Easter chick or bunny and there’s plenty of space for your branding and messaging, as you can print in full colour on both sides of the attached ribbon.
If sustainability is important to you and you want to boost your brand engagement this spring, then look no further than our range of UK seeded products. Choose from boxes of shaped seed bombs or wildflower seed balls to packets of seeds and printed seeded papers. Our supplier is a B-Corp Certified company, committed to local sourcing and ethical and eco-conscious practices, aimed at minimising their carbon footprint – and we think these interactive gifts are a great way to help grow your brand.
Another interactive gift is this Easter biscuit decorating set, ideal for some fun or some friendly competition between your teams or clients. The shortbread deco pack comes complete with icing tubes and decorations, as well as your own branded roundel. Crack out the creativity and organise a #crafternoon (or crafty lunch break). You can even ask the decorators to share their creations on social media too and open up the voting for the winning entry.
Mix and match
If you’d like to spread some springtime smiles, why not create your own Easter themed mini hampers or gift bags? You can combine some sweet treats with other branded items, from stationery staples to tech gadgets, drinkware or clothing. You can then brand up the box or pack it all in a useful canvas shopper, to get your branding out and about, over and over again.
Sounds like hard work? Not at all, we can source, collate, wrap, pack and even ship for you too.
