Singapore Corporate Gift Giving Trends

By Cherry Murray


Lately, Singapore gift giving trends seem to be leaning more towards the experience route and leaving behind common gift ideas like boxes of expensive chocolates or engraved branded pens. This increase in corporate gifts that let recipients to "experience" the things they want and not just obtain the usual monogrammed shirt or the usual fruit basket shows you one thing. This shows you that some Singaporeans now want more substance and enjoyment from the gifts they receive and not just the usual items they can obtain to keep or display.

You need to be sure that the people you are giving an experience gift will actually appreciate such unique gifts. If you are not sure of these experience-type presents and can't really be certain that all your business contacts will enjoy them, you might want to rethink such a strategy. There are people who will find more traditional corporate gifts to their liking when compared with an experience gift that allows them to ride an exotic sports car for a day, gives them a beauty makeover or takes them deep-sea fishing for a few hours.

There are a variety of corporate gifts you can give to those you are associated with. Most of these gifts will be well accepted, just as long as you select expertly and tastefully. For you to choose correctly, especially when you are giving a Singapore corporate gift, you should be aware of which gift types are in and which ones are not.

One thing you will need to consider is your recipient's hobbies and likes. If the person you are giving a gift to is a golfer, do not try to give them a corporate gift that is cheesy or cheap looking, like a mug or t-shirt. Instead, try to go the classy route and present them with a paperweight that is crafted in the shape of a golf ball on top of a golf tee.

Finding the perfect Singapore corporate gift to give, be these experience gifts or not, requires that you do a little bit of research. Try to find out what your partners and clients like and what activities they are into. Obtaining this information will make corporate gift giving becomes easy, whether in Singapore or somewhere else in the world.
