When it comes to giving gifts to office clients, things can often get tricky. Many kinds of gifts are considered inappropriate. Gift cards or office supplies can be viewed impersonal whereas flowers and plants can cause problems for others. So what can make up the perfect office gift hamper and that too with Christmas just around the corner?

It needs to be something appropriate, and something that can be shared by the entire office if necessary. There are many kinds of gift hampers available nowadays with lots of different varieties. It does not have to be the traditional wicker basket anymore. You can use an open tray, which can be beautifully decorated or a container with lids- whichever one that suits the items.

The office gift hampers often have different themes nowadays. You can choose a sport themed one- like golf, cricket or baseball themed one. These will be perfect for a sports associate or someone who is a weekend athlete. There are other kinds of themes you can think of birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other special occasions. Just like occasions, there are various food and drink themes. Let us have a look at a few of the food and drink themed gift hampers in UK.

Choose appropriate packaging for the gift hamper. For example, if you have chosen a fruit basket, give it in an open basket.
