Best corporate Christmas gifts that give back

1/10/2021

Eager to make your corporate Christmas gifts spread the festive spirit a little further this year? Meet our gift hampers.

Full of truly epic treats from social enterprise brands, every hamper has a net positive impact, with each individual product doing good in the world. From creating employment for refugees, to fighting food waste, to funding stays in refuges for survivors of domestic abuse.

So you can thank the clients or team who have supported you and do your bit for people and the planet in one. Win win.

To make your life as easy as possible, we’ve got a whole host of tastes and dietary requirements covered as well as a brand new Team Gifting Platform (jump to the end of the post for more on that).

You’ll also notice our new Christmas hampers are named after trees. That’s a nod to our promise to plant a tree for every two hampers bought, to up the positive impact they’re having even further. Plus, if you are ordering multiple Christmas hampers for a corporate order, get in touch and place your order before 15th October to get 10% off.

Best inclusive corporate gift hampers

Looking for something to suit the vast majority? Go non-alcoholic and vegan with our Sycamore Maple Christmas Hamper. This gift will have them chomping on a variety of Fairtrade, eco-friendly and socially conscious treats. There are food waste-fighting products like Güsto Snacks air-dried apple crisps and Urban Cordial’s elderflower cordial, as well as ethically sourced dates, hot chocolate helping people experiencing homelessness and so much more.

Likewise, The Red Majestic Christmas Gift Box is another totally non-alcoholic and vegan hamper with a delicious line-up of food and drink. These include drinks by Lemonaid & ChariTea, which support social projects in regions where their ingredients are grown. Plus snacks like Chika’s Tantalising Chilli Plantain Crisps, which are also creating social change by empowering young girls in Africa.

Best alcohol-free corporate gift hampers

Encourage them to indulge in some well-earned downtime over the Christmas period with The Me-Time Christmas Gift Box. We’ve chosen four products that add up to one soothing gift with impact, including a Relax Wellness Blend from Tea People, whose profits help improve the lives of disadvantaged people in tea-growing regions.

The Tea-Time Treats Christmas Gift Box is also a great booze-free option, serving up a delightful array of alcohol-free bevs alongside a feast of more-ish snacks. Like stem ginger cookies from leading fair trade company Traidcraft and a spicy seed and nuts mix from Boundless Activated Snacking, who give back to FRANK Water.

Best vegan corporate gift hampers

The Christmas Morning Breakfast Hamper has everything they need for a delicious, feel-good start to Christmas Day. The vegan goodies inside range from Cafédirect coffee, which supports producers and growers, to a tangy organic Seville orange marmalade by Roots & Wings.

Vegan beer aficionados will be pleased to see bottles of Toast Ale in The Cypress Goldcrest Christmas Gift Box. Their ales are made from leftover loaves of bread, while surplus fruit goes into Rubies in the Rubble festive apple and cranberry chutney.

Vegan or not, your giftees will love The Red Berry Rowan Christmas Gift Box. It’s stuffed with 13 delicious items – from a planet-friendly malbec by Sea Change, to chilli almonds grown by marginalised Palestinian communities.

Best corporate gift hampers for chocolate lovers

Find rich chocolate-y treats that are fairly and responsibly produced in The Naughty But Nice Christmas Chocolate Gift Box. As well as chocolate bars and coins (a Christmas classic!), there’s a warming hot chocolate from Cafédirect and Oyin’s Chocolate Loose Cacao Rose Tea, made by bean-to-bar chocolatiers Cocoa Social Enterprise CIC.

There’s chocolate in even more forms stashed in our Chocolate Lover Gift Box, including a luxurious Belgian hot chocolate and chocolate spread from Refuge Chocolate. These not only taste incredible but also support the important work of anti-human trafficking charity Flourish NI.

And there are chocolate treats tucked among the enormous selection of food and drink in The Royal Frost Birch Christmas Hamper too. They’ll be happy snacking on everything from chocolate covered coffee beans helping women touched by the Scottish justice system, to biscotti from a bakery supporting young people with learning disabilities.

Best corporate gift hampers under £50

You can’t beat The Ethical Christmas Essentials Gift Box for food and drink staples with an ethical and sustainable twist. Your giftees will be able to savour Fairtrade chocolate and coffee by Divine Chocolate and Cafedirect respectively, and a heavenly organic jam from Roots & Wings.

Are they a fan of red or white vino? Find out and match each recipient with either the Red or White Holly Bush Christmas Gift Box. The wines are made by Sea Change who support marine conservation projects, while other items include baked goods, coffee, chocolate and a candle from a brand standing up for the Dalit people of India.

The Snowy Pine Christmas Gift Box also provides all they need for a grand festive spread. A pale ale made using leftover sourdough by Crumbs Brewing and a tangy clementine flavoured dark chocolate from Divine Chocolate are just a couple of the items inside.

Best family-sized and sharing corporate gift hampers

Introduce them to new favourite sweet and savoury snacks with The Snackers Stash Christmas Gift Box. As well as a selection of Divine Chocolate, they can crack open sustainably sourced salted cashews and peanuts from Liberation Nuts, Güsto Snacks air-dried wonky apple crisps with a coconut twist and more.

There’s a fine mix of sweet and savoury treats in The Noble Fir Christmas Hamper too, as well as do-gooding drinks from the likes of Toast Ale, London Tea Company and Lemonaid & ChariTea. Plus, there’s a non-foodie gift in there – an eco-soy candle from Lux Luz whose profits help support survivors of domestic abuse.

With no less than 23 items inside, The Crimson King Maple Christmas Hamper stars a bumper selection of social enterprise food and drink. And that equals positive ripples of change spread far and wide – from Forty Hall Vineyards’ ecotherapy project in North London, to wildlife conservation charities in Africa via Elephant Gin.

Festive eating and drinking can also be made tastier and more ethical with The Sweet Chestnut Christmas Hamper. We suggest pairing the Rubies in the Rubble apple and cranberry chutney, made from surplus fruit and veg, with Island Bakery’s oatcakes on the Christmas cheeseboard.
