As the holiday season approaches, many brands and businesses are considering how to express gratitude to their employees and customers. While traditional corporate gifts have their charm, there's a growing trend toward eco-friendly and philanthropic gifts that not only spread festive cheer but also align with a company's commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Let’s explore how you can provide eco-friendly gifts during the holidays and highlight some popular examples to inspire your holiday gifting strategy.
The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Gifts
