Offering the perfect gift to your employees often becomes a headache! We want to please all ages, cultures, and diverse interests of our colleagues. It's the time of year when we have to deliver all projects together and organize Christmas parties, gifts to thank our best clients, or for our event guests. In this rush, we can quickly get lost and offer gadgets that are too often forgotten. In 2018, more than $2.29 billion was spent on gifts, according to the Quebec Retail Council.
Regardless of the origins of the celebration, it is clear that giving objects, whether tangible or not, remains a widespread practice among Westerners today. We give with the aim of sharing gratitude towards others, appreciating their presence or showing them appreciation. This type of exchange of goods takes many forms, but how can we be sure of pleasing others in a corporate context while having minimal environmental impact?
We offer you 10 original and local inspirations, so you don't find yourself in this situation this year!
