Wellness retreats, eco-friendly goodies: Corporates's Diwali gifting trend
This Diwali, Indian companies are swapping out the usual dry fruits and chocolates for gifts that feel more personal and thoughtful—think wellness retreats, eco-friendly goodies, and luxe experiences.
Employee gifts usually fall in the ₹1,000-₹1,500 range, while special client hampers can go up to ₹10,000.
It's all about making people feel valued and showing that the company's values actually match the gifts.
Personalization and sustainability are the key trends this year
Personalization is the big trend—monogrammed planners, curated hampers, and digital gift cards are in.
There's also a big push for sustainability, with bamboo organizers and plant-based treats.
The market itself is booming, with some vendors, like FNP, seeing 40-50% growth year over year in corporate gifting.
Companies aren't just gifting employees anymore; clients, gig workers, and even distributors are getting in on the action.
It's a sign that building real connections and brand loyalty matters more than ever.
