Another Bottle of Wine? Let’s Rethink Corporate Gifting.
We’ve all seen the corporate gift hamper. The one with a packet of dried pasta, a jar of random sauce, some biscuits and a few other things that somehow ended up in the same box.
Or the predictable bottle of wine. The standard box of chocolates. Another branded notebook.
Don’t get us wrong. We love a good bottle of wine. And chocolate? Absolutely. But when you’re giving someone a gift to say thank you, congratulations, or simply we appreciate you, shouldn’t it feel a little more special?
Because the best gifts aren’t necessarily the most expensive. They’re the ones that make someone smile.
It’s not about spending more. It’s about making it mean more.
Corporate gifting can easily become another task on the to-do list. Find something suitable, order 100, add the company logo, tick the box.
But behind every gift is a person. Someone who’s worked hard, helped your business grow, supported your team or gone that extra mile.
And a little thought goes a long way.
It might be a personal message instead of a generic printed card. Something locally made rather than mass-produced. Or simply a gift that’s a bit unexpected, something they’d never have thought to buy for themselves.
It’s the difference between receiving something from a company and feeling that someone genuinely thought about you.
The most meaningful part of a gift might not cost a thing.
Here’s an idea. Instead of spending your entire corporate gifting budget on fancy packaging and things people don’t really need, spend a little time making the gesture personal.
Get your CEO to record a short video thanking the team for everything they’ve achieved this year. Ask your colleagues to share a few words for someone celebrating a milestone. Or record a heartfelt message for a client who’s been part of your journey.
It doesn’t need to be professionally filmed. It doesn’t need a script or a production team. In fact, the more genuine, the better.
A minute or two of someone’s time, a few thoughtful words and a little effort can mean so much more than another expensive gift.
At KULA, we make it possible to include a personal video message with your gift, so the recipient can scan a QR code and watch it as they open their box.
Imagine receiving a beautiful box of brownies, scanning the code and seeing a personal thank-you from your CEO, your colleagues or someone you’ve worked closely with.
Suddenly, it’s not just a box of brownies. It’s a moment of genuine appreciation.
Because people might forget what was inside the gift hamper. But they’ll remember how you made them feel.
And who said corporate gifts are just for Christmas?
Somewhere along the way, corporate gifting became almost synonymous with Christmas. But appreciation shouldn’t be a once-a-year event.
What about the colleague who’s just welcomed a baby? The team that’s worked tirelessly to finish a big project? The client celebrating a milestone? Or the employee who’s been with you for ten years?
Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the unexpected ones. The little surprises that arrive on an ordinary Tuesday, for no other reason than to say, we see you, and we appreciate you.
Those are the moments people remember.
A little joy, delivered.
That’s exactly why we created KULA.
We believe that a thoughtful gesture, however small, can brighten someone’s entire day. And that giving should feel just as good as receiving.
So we took something almost everyone loves — a really good brownie — and turned it into a gifting experience.
Our brownies are freshly baked in Zurich using quality ingredients, packed into beautiful gift boxes and delivered across Switzerland.
But for us, it’s about more than what’s inside the box.
It’s the message that makes someone laugh. The unexpected delivery that interrupts an otherwise ordinary workday. The feeling of opening something that’s been chosen just for you.
And when it comes to gifting for your company, we make that personal touch easy. From custom-designed sleeves and greeting cards to fully branded boxes, we can help you create a gift that feels personal, thoughtful and completely yours. And with the option to add your own video message, you can make the gesture even more meaningful.
Whether you’re sending five boxes or five hundred, we’ll help you create something worth opening.
Make someone’s day. Not just another gift.
Next time you’re organising gifts for your team, clients or business partners, ask yourself one simple question:
Would I be excited to receive this?
If the answer is no, perhaps it’s time to try something different.
After all, the best corporate gifts don’t end up forgotten in a cupboard. They create a moment of joy, start a conversation or simply make someone feel appreciated.
And that’s worth a little extra thought.
