Low or No Waste Corporate Holiday Gifts

It’s that time of year again — cooler weather, warmer sweaters, leaves beginning to drift off the trees. As the season changes, your sustainability-minded business may be thinking ahead to the holiday season and considering corporate holiday gifts. Over the past 8 months or so, you may have collaborated with fantastic partners, worked with great clients, welcomed new team members on board, and celebrated achievements within your company.

The holiday season is a great time to give gifts and express appreciation. You want to continue nurturing the relationships you’ve built. At the same time, holiday gifting can come with a lot of single-use packaging waste or sparkly ribbons that get lost or tossed away. If this is on your mind, then you’ll find inspiration in this round up.

Garther ideas for low waste corporate holiday gifts below!
