Corporate gifts that do not end up at the bottom of a drawer
There is a small contradiction in choosing a corporate gift. It should remind the recipient of the giver, yet few people want visible merchandise in their home.
So we think a good corporate gift starts from the other end: first the object should be one the recipient wants to own and use.
Only then do you consider how the giver appears on it.
A good business gift is first a good object
The value of a corporate gift does not come from price or a logo alone.
A useful, beautiful and well-made object can stay with the recipient for years — and so can the memory of who gave it, far longer than a short-lived campaign item.
The Upea Puu starting point is simple: our job is to make an object the recipient wants to keep.
Finnish design also speaks of the giver
A wooden design object designed and made in Finland is a natural corporate gift when a company wants to signal Finnish origin, quality, natural materials or considered design.
This matters most in international relationships. A Finnish business gift need not be a souvenir; it can be a useful object that carries its origin more quietly.
Logo or no logo?
A corporate gift does not need to look like merchandise. If a logo or marking is added, it should support the object rather than dominate it.
Selected Upea Puu products can carry an agreed marking, for example engraved. Feasibility is assessed product by product.
Ideas crafted in wood, also as a corporate gift
Upea Puu products set out to combine beauty, practicality and versatility. The same idea works for a corporate gift.
A gift does not have to tell the recipient exactly what to do with it. At best, they find their own use for it.
Who can a corporate gift go to?
- a client
- a partner
- staff
- a milestone
- the end of a project
- a Christmas gift
- an international guest
- a company visit
