Good corporate gift ideas in Australia are gifts everyone can use, with no sizing, no dietary issues and no alcohol: home fragrance like candles, reed diffusers and room sprays fits that brief. For end-of-year gifts, order stock by mid-November, or allow 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval if you want custom labels.
This guide is for HR managers, office managers and business owners buying gifts for staff and clients, whether it's ten people or several hundred.
what makes a corporate gift work
- Inclusive: no food, drink, alcohol or nuts, so no one gets left out or handed something they can't use.
- No sizing: unlike apparel, nothing to collect or swap.
- Used every day: a reed diffuser sits on a shelf for months. A gift card often sits in a drawer.
- Easy to send: retail gift box packaging, and delivery either to the office in one box or direct to people's homes.
gift ideas by occasion
- New starter: a 220g candle for their desk at home.
- Birthday or thank you: a 50ml room spray. Small, easy to post, used straight away.
- Farewell: a 100ml reed diffuser, which lasts 1 to 3 months.
- Newly signed client: a Beacon diffuser, a waterless smart diffuser covering up to 300sqm, with a 100ml Aura Oil.
For a key client, the floor-standing Pillar diffuser is our largest gift. See everything in one place in the gifting collection.
end-of-year staff and client gifts
December is the busiest gifting month, and it's also when couriers are slowest. Plan backwards from your last office day.
- Stock gifts: order by mid-November for Christmas. Stock ships from Melbourne the next business day, with express delivery taking 2 to 3 business days after that.
- Custom labels: allow 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval, with a minimum of 50 units per branded run. For Christmas, get artwork approved in October.
- Direct-to-home: for hybrid teams, send gifts to individual addresses rather than the office.
- One invoice: trade accounts receive one monthly invoice instead of a receipt per gift.
choosing a scent for a group
You can pick one scent for everyone, or a shortlist of three and let people choose.
- Santal woods: sandalwood, cedar, cardamom, papyrus, violet, iris and amber. Our best seller, and the safest pick if you'd rather not choose.
- Dream: citrus, bergamot, jasmine, tea, musk and amber. Light and fresh.
- Country linen: lemon, peach, carnation, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, honey and tonka bean. Clean and familiar.
Not sure? A discovery kit has a 2ml sample of each iconic scent, so the team can smell them before you order.
branded gifts
We can put custom labels on kirri bottles, using your artwork or our design. It turns a candle or reed diffuser into a gift that carries your company name in someone's home for months. Branded runs start at 50 units and take 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval.
If your office already runs a reception scent, gifting in the same fragrance ties it together. Clients who smell your reception later recognise it in their own living room.
