Plan Christmas client giftsRecommended approaches
- Use safe gift styles: sparkling, classic red/white pair, wine and food hamper, or premium alcohol-free choice.
- Champagne is not the only festive option; English sparkling and Crémant-style choices can feel polished without being too flashy.
- Keep messages warm but professional: thank the recipient for the partnership and avoid heavy sales language.
What to avoid
- Leaving delivery and address collection until the final week.
- Overly novelty bottles or risky jokes on packaging.
- Assuming all client contacts can accept alcohol or gifts under their company policy.
Practical checklist
- Collect addresses and any gift acceptance limits early.
- Ask suppliers for Christmas order cut-offs and delivery exclusions.
- Prepare one standard message plus optional account-specific variants.
- Check alcohol-free and non-alcohol alternatives for sensitive recipients.
