Go Green with your Corporate Gifts! - Sustainable & Ethical Gift Ideas
Corporate gifting is a great way to engage with your business partners, clients, and employees to show your appreciation for their contributions to the firms. There are so many things under the sun that you may give as a gift, but why not go a little extra by providing something that makes a difference to the environment? It will benefit everyone in the long run!
Are you stuck as to what the best sustainable presents are? Fret not, as we have compiled a list of 5 of the greatest eco-friendly items to offer as corporate gifts for every occasion!
Reusable Lunch Box
In today's fast-paced world, most people opt for fast food, take-away meals or food delivery where they can get their food ready and available instantly. Whereas, some may pack their cooked meals in a container from home and then reheat them at their workplace. As efficient as they are, these solutions can be unhealthy or even contribute to a higher carbon footprint. Although it is typically safe to microwave food in plastic containers, it has been associated with leaching. Therefore, a reusable lunch box or container would be an ideal corporate gift. For those that usually eat out or call for food delivery, this would be a great way to encourage them to be more environmentally friendly and promote healthy living at the same time.
There are many different types of reusable containers in the market, but choosing one of the finest quality is crucial while sourcing for them. The lunch box's material is what makes it a safe and practical gift that your recipients will appreciate. Instead of choosing a plastic-labelled lunch box, look for a bespoke lunch box that can be customised with your company logo and is BPA-free, biodegradable, microwaveable, and dishwasher-safe.
A reusable lunch box has numerous benefits for both the environment and yourself. It's safe to eat from, plus you'll save money at hawker centres since most places now charge for plastic containers. Above all, it is environmentally friendly!
Wheat Cutlery Set
What better gift will complement a lunch box? Gift your recipients a set of wheat cutleries together with a reusable lunch box. Made from natural wheat straws; a wheat cutlery set contains a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, and a fork. The shreds of straws scattered on the surface create a unique design for an eco-friendly cutlery set, which is what makes it more impressive. Wheat cutlery sets are also more convenient to carry about than stainless steel cutlery sets. Compared to plastic cutleries which easily break, wheat cutleries are more durable. They are shatter-proof, lightweight, portable, and reusable, so what more reasons do you need to give this perfect item as a corporate gift?
Reusable Cup Holder
The perfect gift or addition to your recipients' morning coffee rush. A reusable cup holder replaces those unnecessary plastic sleeves that we usually get when purchasing drinks from hawker centres in Singapore. Just think about the number of plastic cup holders that can never be used again thrown into the bin every day. If we knew the exact figures, pretty sure that we would all be taken aback!
A reusable cup holder is also convenient to carry around as when it is not in use; you can roll it up and keep it in your bag. But, how much space can it take? So, encourage your recipients to be more eco-friendly by using a reusable cup holder to go along with their drinks!
Zipper Pouch
A zipper pouch is a great customized corporate gift since they are made of strong, recyclable, and durable cotton canvas. It can be customized to that perfect size that is large enough to store things that take up more space, such as electronic devices or notebooks, while fitting it into the bag that you would be mainly carrying to places. Furthermore, a 100% canvas zipper pouch gives a creative, sleek, and organic look that can even go well on its own with your outfits!
With Singaporeans' hectic lifestyles, a multipurpose canvas zipper pouch can be beneficial to their daily routine, allowing them to compartmentalize the various items they must carry and keep their bags organized. In addition, canvas zipper pouches are soft and flexible, making them a great alternative to PVC plastic storage cases.
We all know how stressful it can get when you can't find that one loose item in your bag, especially during rush hours. With a zipper pouch, your recipients will never lose anything in their bag and will always know where their things are!
Notebook
As much as digitalisation is taking over traditional means, some things will remain timeless. Although old school, taking notes during staff meetings, doodling, or simply noting down ideas is often made easier with pen and paper. A custom printed notebook made of recyclable kraft paper is a fantastic eco-friendly gift that your recipients will definitely love. The notebook's cover offers an ideal spot to print out your company logo. Compared to the average notebooks made of plastic or leather, eco-friendly notebooks are biodegradable and can never go wrong as corporate gifts!
Sustainability is crucial, and a little can go a long way. So encourage your recipients to make a positive difference to the world by doing their part with these eco-friendly corporate gifts.
