Whether you’re creating hampers for the festive season, welcome kits for employees, merchandise for an event or gifts to thank clients, a well thought out colour theme can add meaning to your gifting strategy.

1. RED. POWER. FERVOUR. CERTAINTY.

Red is a strong colour, representing energy, passion, excitement and confidence. It’s a great way for brands to create or convey a festive mood. Red gift boxes, ribbons and packaging can help to add some warmth and vibrancy to your festive gifting programmes.

Red is an ideal corporate gift for celebrations, product launches, appreciation gifts or festive hampers. However, when used sparingly with neutral colours it can help to keep things looking polished and professional.

3. GREEN: SUSTAINABILITY AND GROWTH.

Green is often associated with nature, renewal, growth, and sustainability. It’s an especially good option for sustainability-minded businesses, or those who want to show off their commitment to thoughtful gift giving.

Ideas include bamboo products, sustainable stationery and hampers and reusable drinkware. The green packaging can be combined with recycled paper, natural textures or reusable fabric bags for an even stronger statement.

Sustainable gifting is not just green packaging. Your products should also speak to the values you want your brand to speak to in terms of materials and sourcing and usefulness.

4. BLACK - LUXURY & STYLE.

black is fashionable, elitist, classy. This makes a great corporate gift for the discerning person, especially if you'd like your clients, senior executives or business partners to know that you appreciate them.

Make elegant unboxing experiences with matte black boxes, metallic accents, high-end drinkware and curated gift hampers. Black is a good match for gold, silver and white, and brands can create a sophisticated look with it.

5. WHITE - PURITY AND SIMPLICITY

White is the colour of purity, freshness and simplicity. The white gifting theme makes the product and the branding easy to see, without clutter.

White packaging is a clear choice for employee welcome kits, tech accessories, wellness hampers, and modern corporate merch. Modern brand colours, subtle and balanced as one.

Think of giving presentations, not just any presentations, but good material, detailed presentations.

6. YELLOW & ORANGE CREATIVITY, HOPE

Yellow and orange are bright colours and are associated with happiness, optimism and enthusiasm. Great for brands who want to be fun, friendly and interactive with their gifts.

These colours are great for employee engagement campaigns, team building events, conference giveaways, and welcome kits. Happy gifting can be helped along by bright drinkware, colourful stationery and vibrant packaging.

If you want something a little more sophisticated, use white, grey or navy with these colours, rather than mixing lots of bright colours together.

7. INDIVIDUALISM AND THE INDIVIDUAL, VIOLET

Purple is a colour of creativity, individuality, luxury and imagination. This is especially helpful for brands looking to move away from traditional corporate colours and create a unique gifting persona.

Purple themed hampers, premium stationery and event merchandise, are perfect gifts for celebrating milestones, treating your clients or for events within the creative industry. Lighter shades can be fun while darker purples are sophisticated.

SELECTING THE RIGHT COLOUR THEME FOR BUSINESS GIFTS

The colour scheme you choose must reflect three things - your brand, the occasion and the recipient. Keep it consistent, and start with the colours from your brand palette. Then consider the kind of gifting experience you want to create - festive, premium, professional, sustainable or playful.

They can also assist with wrapping, matching ribbons, tissue paper and gift tags. Corporate gifts? If all your gifts, big or small, no matter the cost or value, share the same colour scheme, it will create a unified experience.Colours mean different things depending on the country and occasion. And before choosing a palette, consider your audience and context.

  There are different levels of responsibility, authority, and experience among employees at an organization. Due to these differences there are also variations in their work environments, work expectations and work stresses. As such - when deciding upon corporate gift ideas you cannot have a one-size-fits- all approach. What may be perceived as thoughtful, or useful by junior staff members may very well be seen as disrespectful or inadequate by senior executives .  Conversely, although an item that might create excitement for senior executives may not have a similar effect on the operation staff members who report to them.
