Corporate gifts and client gifts

Corporate gifts are gifts that a company gives to clients, business partners and other parties to a business relationship. This page lists corporate gifts with a logo for three situations: client gifts, gifts for business partners and gifts for anniversaries and special occasions.

The price on a product page includes a one-colour print in one position but excludes VAT. Each product page shows the minimum order quantity and the unit prices at different quantities. You can collect gifts in the quote basket and request a quote for all of them at once.

What is a corporate gift

Corporate gift is a general term for gifts given by a company. In taxation, gifts are divided into two groups:

• A promotional gift is a gift of low value that many recipients receive in the same form. It usually carries the company name or logo.
• A representation gift is chosen individually for a specific person with whom the company has a business relationship.

The cost of a customary promotional gift is fully deductible, and according to the guidance of the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto), a promotional gift can be regarded as customary when its purchase price including VAT is at most 50 euros. For a representation gift, only half of the cost is deductible in income taxation, and its VAT cannot be deducted.

The rules and examples are collected in the article on the taxation of corporate gifts. The same article also covers gifts to a company's own staff, which are subject to different rules.

Client gifts

A good client gift is a product that the recipient uses at home or at work, so that the logo stays in view. Blankets and stainless steel thermos flasks suit home use, for example. The range of blankets includes polar and fleece blankets as well as picnic blankets. Serving items include chopping and serving boards and coasters, for example.

Pen sets suit the office, such as metal ballpoint and rollerball pen sets, as well as notebooks.

Smaller gifts include scented and wax candles and promotional sweets, such as pastille boxes and pastille dispensers. The candle range also includes aroma diffusers. Small gifts can be packed in gift bags, which are available in non-woven fabric and cotton.

Christmas gifts for clients and staff are covered on the page Christmas gifts for companies.

Gifts for business partners and special occasions

When a gift is chosen individually for a specific business partner, it is a representation gift for tax purposes. A long-lasting item suits a partner, such as a wine set, a wall clock or a laptop backpack. A gift of alcohol is also usually treated as a representation gift in taxation.

On the company's own anniversary, such as a jubilee year, all clients can be given the same kind of gift. In the examples in the Finnish Tax Administration's guidance, gifts given to clients on the company's anniversary are customary promotional gifts. If a company gives a business partner, on the partner's anniversary, a low-value item of the kind it also hands out for advertising purposes, the gift does not, according to the guidance, become a representation gift.

Budget and quantities

For most of the products mentioned on this page, the minimum order quantity is 50 pcs. The minimum order quantity is shown on each product page, and the price table shows how the unit price changes with the order quantity.

If you need gifts for only a small group, choose a product with a lower minimum order quantity. For example, some hoodies and sweatshirts can be ordered from 10 pcs.

When you have a total budget for the gifts, divide it by the number of gifts. This tells you what unit price fits the budget.

The price includes a one-colour print in one position. If the logo needs several colours or the print is needed in several positions, these are priced in the quote. The print methods are described on the page Print methods.

Prices on the site exclude VAT. If the gift is meant to be deducted as a customary promotional gift, compare the 50 euro limit with the price including VAT. At the general VAT rate of 25.5 per cent, the limit corresponds to a price of 39.84 euros excluding VAT. On the product page you can switch the price to show VAT included.

How to order

Add the gifts you are considering to the quote basket and send a quote request. One request can ask for prices on several products, for example client gifts and gifts for partners at the same time. In the request, state the quantities, the colours and what is to be printed on the products. You can attach the logo to the request or send it later. A quote request does not require registration and does not oblige you to order.

The quote is sent within one working day and includes the final price with the print. Before production you receive a proof to approve. Production starts once the proof has been approved. The exact lead time is given in the quote. State the delivery date you want in the quote request.

The whole ordering process is described on the page How to order.
