Five great Christmas present ideas for PR clients

Striking the right balance in corporate gifting can be tricky. It’s about showing gratitude without going overboard. Here’s some suggestions to help make the perfect impression this festive season 

Biscuiteers The Nutcracker biscuit tin  

These magical, exquisitely decorated biscuits are almost too good to eat but are perfect for sweet-toothed clients. Hand-crafted in Biscuiteer’s London bakery – aka The Ministry of Biscuits – this tin features nine gingerbread-iced characters and props from the famous Christmas-time ballet. Our favourites among the edible works of art include the regal Mouse King and the enchanting Sugar Plum Fairy. Fresh for up to nine months (although we doubt they’ll last nine minutes), the biscuits come in a beautifully designed tin that can be kept as a keepsake for years to come. If you want to take it to the next level, Biscuiteers can make bespoke creations for a more personal touch and have vegan options, too.  £39.95, Biscuiteers

Neom Wellbeing Candle Trio 

Founded in London in 2005, Neom has become synonymous with a touch of everyday luxury. This gorgeously packaged gift set features three of Neom’s bestselling hand-poured candles, all blended with 100% natural fragrance. The Happiness candle has uplifting notes of neroli, mimosa and lemon, evoking a summer’s day, the Perfect Night’s Sleep candle contains soothing English lavender, chamomile and patchouli to transport you to the Land of Nod, and the Real Luxury candle is a heady mix of jasmine, lavender and sandalwood for moments of dreamy escapism. Each candle has a burn time of around 35 hours, more than enough to get through the festivities. £48, Neom Wellbeing 

Atlantic Blankets Hug in a Box Gift set 

Both you and your giftee will feel a warm glow with this thoughtful present, comprising a recycled wool blanket, chocolate bar and candle. The UK-based company, Atlantic Blankets, specialises in traditionally woven blankets, using natural, organic and recycled fabrics – a big tick in terms of sustainability – and the gift box gives you the option of two sizes of ‘random recycled’ blankets, made from the leftover yarns in their workshop. But rest assured, all of the blankets are classic and stylish. You also have a choice of chocolate, including Sunrise, a caramel sea salt confection, and Sundown, for those who love their cocoa content dark. The Hug in a Box is a bestseller, so don’t leave it too late to order. From £95, Atlantic Blankets

Louis Vuitton Jane MM Notebook 

Practical and boujee, the Jane MM Notebook by French luxury house Louis Vuitton will rack up instant Brownie points with style aficionados. The medium-sized lined notebook, part of Louis Vuitton’s Candy Factory capsule, has a rich chocolate-brown cover embossed with the brand’s famous Vivienne mascot, realised as a Christmas cookie. And for that extra flourish of bling, the page edges are dipped in the colour gold. Taking notes has never been so glamorous. £78, Louis Vuitton 

Harrods The Christmas Hamper 

Deliver a large helping of festive cheer to a favourite client with a classic hamper from this renowned London luxury store. Presented in a wicker basket bearing the H for Harrods motif, it celebrates the season of gathering together and sharing delicious food. The treats inside are a Classic Christmas Pudding, brandy butter, spiced salted caramel shortbread, spiced berry and fig jam and a Christmas fudge selection. Is that the sound of the diet going out of the window? £80, Harrods
