Gift Guide: Gift Giving Made ‘Glassy’ for Customers and Employees
During the holidays choosing the right gift is essential. In professional settings, finding gifts that help build connections with customers or employees and express the right sentiment can be tricky — but we have a perfect suggestion for you: Give glass.
Why?
Glass packaging is 100 percent recyclable and can be both beautiful and practical. Choosing glass can show corporate support for sustainability, which is more important than ever. Millennials and adults in Generation Z stand out in a new Pew Research Center survey, particularly for their high levels of engagement with the issue of climate change. And according to the 2019 Gen Z Purpose Study by Porter Novelli, 90 percent of Gen Zers believe companies must take action on social and environmental issues.
Glass products range from decorative to functional. They are appropriate for holiday gifts, awards, promotions, and simple acknowledgments of a job well done. Glass items can be personalized or purchased in bulk with your corporate logo. Whether you are gifting an item to accent an office or celebrate and toast an occasion — glass is a perfect choice.
Make your holiday gift-giving memorable. We’ve assembled a few featured product categories we think are distinctive and “glassy.” Take a peek at some of the options we’ve chosen.
