Gift Guide for Social Clients

Shopping for clients is no easy task, and with the holidays quickly approaching the pressure is on. The good news? We’re here to offer a little help with a guide full of fun and unique gifts that your social clients will love. From candles (with a twist) to designer photo boxes, we’ve got everything you’ve been look for. Check it out below.

La Rousse Photo Box

Photographer Katie Doherty started La Rousse when she couldn’t find the right packaging for photos to give her clients. With their modern and classic design, these glass boxes will be a huge hit for newlyweds wanting to show off their new wedding photos, as well as other social clients who would love to have photos of their recent celebration within reach.

Night Sky Star Map

Talk about a personal and customized gift. The Night Sky captures what the stars looked like on any given night in any given year, and print it on a beautiful canvas that can be framed and enjoyed for years to come. It will melt the hearts of all your clients- guaranteed. Weddings and birthdays are perfect for this, as well as anniversaries and other major milestones.

Bridal Buddy

If you don’t mind inserting a little humor into your brand, then this is the perfect gift for any bride with an upcoming wedding. It’s a sheer, lightweight slip that is worn under their bridal gown so they are able to use the restroom on their own while still protecting their dress. You may have seen this unique company featured on Shark Tank, along with the viral commercial that put them on the map. It’s sure to get a laugh while still being a useful and practical present they’ll thank you for.

Homesick Candles

Do you have clients that live far from home? There is no better gift you could give them than a homesick candle. Each one is specially scented to remind you of your home state, no matter where you are. They have each state represented perfectly, from Alabama’s sweet blackberry and nutty pecan, to Virginia’s pine needles and soft rainfall.

Handcrafted Personalized Stationery

Stationery is a timeless gift that people never get tired of receiving. Take it up a notch this year by getting it personalized for your clients. These days you can get everything from journals to notepads to cards made custom, so choose items you think fit well with their personality.

Mini Honeymoon Kit

This gift is really meant for your wedding clients that are about to head off on their honeymoon. Pinch Provisions makes a variety of ‘emergency’ style kits, but we love that this one celebrates the post-wedding trip your clients have definitely been looking forward to. They are packed with premium essentials that will have them ready for just about anything.

We hope these ideas have given you the inspiration needed to get shopping, and we know your clients will love your thoughtfulness and generosity.
