Corporate gifting is one of the best ways to say “we appreciate you.” But somehow, it always sneaks up when your to-do list is already longer than the queue for the office printer. Especially at Christmas, when inboxes are overflowing, deadlines are looming, and someone’s already started blasting Mariah Carey in the breakroom.
That’s where we come in. We make it easy to send high-quality, memorable gifts, even during the last-minute Christmas rush. With everything from gourmet food hampers to wellbeing kits and eGift cards, we have options that feel intentional – from £9.95 to £199.95 + VAT, with no minimum order – all without the usual pain of last-minute shopping.
Here are our top last-minute gift ideas, plus a few tips to make ordering as smooth and easy as possible. Because thoughtful gifts that leave a great impression shouldn’t need weeks of planning..
Remember, Last-Minute Gifts Don’t Have to Feel Rushed or Impersonal
When you’re scrambling for a last-minute gift, it’s easy to worry it might scream, “I totally forgot about this until five minutes ago!” But here’s the thing: needing a quick solution doesn’t mean you have to settle for something boring or soulless.
With the right approach, even a last-minute gift can pack the same punch as one you planned weeks ago (without the panic buying). That’s where we come in. We’re all about combining convenience with quality, so you can send something thoughtful, memorable, and downright impressive — even when the clock is ticking. Because “last-minute” doesn’t have to mean “meh.”
Top Last-Minute Christmas Gifts For Your Team
When you’re looking for corporate Christmas gifts that feel thoughtful and unique, we offer carefully curated options with standout features. Here’s a closer look at some of the ideas that make our gifts so memorable:
A Scented Candle
Nothing says “slow down and enjoy the moment” quite like a beautifully crafted candle. A calming candle — like the ones in our wellbeing gift Wonder (£34.95 + VAT) — is more than just a pretty scent; it’s a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and recharge amid the December madness. Paired with soothing wellness items and indulgent treats, and with £1 to Mind included in every one, it delivers a well-rounded moment of comfort. Thoughtful, elevated, and just the right amount of indulgent.
Meditation Cards
Sometimes, the most appreciated presents are the ones that encourage a little pause. The meditation prompts in our Flourish gift are designed to do just that – a gentle nudge toward calm, clarity, and connection, whether it’s a midday reset or a quiet start to the morning. Perfect for supporting employee wellbeing, and yes, this luxury food hamper version is completely vegan and gluten-free (£69.95 + VAT).
Gourmet Shortbread
Sometimes, it’s the simple pleasures that make the biggest impact. Few things say “comfort and joy” quite like a piece of buttery, crumbly shortbread. Festive baked treats like those in our Joy gift (£34.95 + VAT) are a seasonal favourite, packed with nostalgia and perfect with a cuppa or as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Whether you’re gifting to a team of foodies or just looking for a low-fuss option that’ll go down well with everyone, gourmet shortbread is a crowd-pleasing winner.
Natural Eco-Friendly Coffee Cup
We all know that one colleague who doesn’t speak in full sentences until they’ve had their morning coffee (you know who you are). A sleek reusable travel cup — like the one in our Revive gift (£89.95 + VAT) — is here to save the day, and the planet. Paired with relaxing wellness treats, it’s a thoughtful way to show you care about their mornings and their mindfulness, with £1 to Mind included too.
Artisan Hot Chocolate
Few things feel more festive than a rich, velvety mug of hot chocolate. An artisan blend, like the one in The Chocolate Gift (£19.95 + VAT), is designed for slow sipping and cosy moments – perfect for warming up after a frosty commute or winding down at the end of a busy day. Send it as part of a wellbeing-themed gift or solo; either way, it’s a seasonal classic with serious charm, and it donates a meal to a local food charity.
A Little Wellbeing Extra
For a gift that feels like an instant exhale, small self-care touches are hard to beat. Our wellbeing gift Glimmer (£23.95 + VAT) is full of little moments of calm to help soothe away stress and encourage some well-deserved me-time. Ideal for winding down after a long day or taking a quiet break between meetings, it brings a spa-like moment to even the busiest December schedules – and gives £1 to Mind.
Gourmet Food
You know how snacks have a magical way of disappearing in the office? Our Garland gift (£33.95 + VAT, down from £39.95) makes sure there’s enough to go around (or not — we’re not judging). Filled with gourmet festive treats, it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Perfect for sharing (if they’re feeling generous) or indulging solo, this gift turns any moment into a mini celebration – and donates a meal to someone in need.
Celebration Bubbly
Nothing says “cheers to you” quite like a bottle of bubbly. Whether it’s champagne, Prosecco or a non-alcoholic sparkling alternative, festive gifts like The Champagne Gift (£49.95 + VAT), The Wine Duo Gift and Tidings come with a celebratory fizz that sets the tone for joyful moments. It’s the kind of gift that elevates any occasion — perfect for toasting the end of the year, celebrating team wins, or simply adding a little sparkle to someone’s day. And with alcohol-free options across the range, it works for everyone on your list.
