If you have clients who always catch you up with an epic story from their most recent camping trip, offering gifts that cater to the outdoorsy type is a perfect way to appreciate them. From the content creator thrilled to get shots from new heights with the Vivitar Skytracker drone or a birdwatcher patiently waiting with their Bushnell Nitro binoculars to scope the area for new feathered friends, our platform has options that are easy to click and ship.

Thinking bigger? Showstopping options like the Coleman Evanston 6-person tent or Happy Ebikes Happy Camper electric bike take a day outdoors to a memorable adventure.

We can’t forget our fishy friends, the subset of outdoorsy types who spend their days at the beach or lounging by the pool. Renting a lakehouse for the whole family? The RAVE Sports Bongo Water Bouncer is sure to make a splash for a family-wide cannonball contest or step up the competition with the Sypderball game for the energetic kiddos (and kids at heart!)

Looking for less waves and more serenity? Offering the Solstice Tahiti Inflatable Stand-up Paddleboard or the Solstice SolFit Floating Yoga Mat in your Platform collection lets them try a new peaceful hobby.

Gifting apparel and accessories traditionally can be so tricky to gift because style is a matter of taste however, when they have a wide variety of styles to choose from, everyone is sure to find what suits them!

Jaws will drop with the option to select luxurious handbags and designer jewelry, but there’s just as much inspiration to be drawn from picking out a pair of Olukai sandals ahead of their beach incentive trip and to wear through the summer. The beauty of wearables is that recipients will integrate their choice into their daily style but be reminded and appreciative of you every time they wear it.

Offering premium entertainment tech is a shoo-in for tech wizards or those who want to share an indulgent gift with their whole family. Upgrade the TV with a Sony 4K HDR LED Smart TV or disguise it as fancy art with the transformative Samsung Frame 4k TV.

Be the summer sleepover host with the most by equipping the living room (or soundproof garage, anyone?) with the Ion Karaoke Machine and JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass soundbar + subwoofer for kiddos to put on their own Eras tour. Gaming systems like the Nintendo OLED Switch or the Meta Quest 2 create another world to escape to on the days when the heat outside is just too much.

Treat your jet-setting clients who explore the world in their free time or add much-needed comfort to colleagues who travel for work with luxurious and thoughtful gifts that make travel days a little less stressful. Noise Cancelling headphones + portable chargers are practical luxuries that save the day amidst airport chatter. While it’s impossible to predict the mysterious upgrade list, they can easily upgrade their luggage by selecting durable bags from iconic, quality-driven brands like Patagonia, Tumi, and Dooney + Bourke.

And for those who want something bright enough to spot immediately on baggage claim? Consider our On-Site Design Experiences for folks to design custom Timbuk2 bags or Hexa Custom apparel for their next getaway.

The avid golfer who participates in tournaments or those who are new to the game know how tempting it is to upgrade their clubs or entire kit for the sake of extra yards down the fairway. And the right gear really does make a difference! That’s why they will appreciate our array of premium supplies for golfers on and off the course. 

Our Gifting Experts sought out Callaway to provide consistent and top-of-the-line bags, push carts, and clubs, including the Reva line for women that are guaranteed gifts to impress. To keep up their precision in between meetings or for some friendly competition in the backyard, offer the Callaway Base Hitting Net or the Izzo Golf Skeeball Putting Game so they can refine their short game. And as the full body soreness sets in, they will appreciate having a Therabody Theragun Elite for the ultimate unwind sesh to loosen up tight muscles.

Gifts for the kitchen are some of our most popular redemptions because the right cookware takes an investment but lasts a lifetime, and there’s no better feeling than getting to select an aspirational appliance for their gift! From classics like Le Creuset cookware or fun, new tools like the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, our gifts will inspire them to live out their chef fantasy and whip up new flavors in the kitchen! 

Revive drab counter space with culinary workhorses that are as beautiful as they are powerful, like the classic KitchenAid stand mixer or the fleet of retro-luxe Smeg appliances. Or they may want to reset their morning ritual with the minimalist Fellow pour-over set for the perfect cup of joe.

For clients who are always happy to meet for happy hour, give premium barware that helps them appreciate their favorite drinks at home. Ignite a passion for bartending with the Bartesian cocktail maker at their BBQs, or let the sommelier come out with luxurious decanters and aerators for a wine-tasting party.

Need to take the party on the go? The Vinglacé wine bottle chiller protects and cools the bottle so it’s perfectly crisp by the time you arrive to pop the top and pour good cheer all around!

Like in the living room, it’s a wonderful option to offer gifts that elevate the backyard into an outdoor oasis that they can share with the whole family. Upgrade weather-worn seating with a Balkene Home Wicker Outdoor Sofa Set or create a breezier, transportive vibe on the porch with the Algoma Hanging Cotton Rope Chair.

No matter where you are, enjoy music with the transportable Bose Soundlink Revolve II speaker or the surround sound Sonance Patio Series 4.1 Speaker System. And we certainly cannot forget about BBQ season - with top options from Blackstone, Treager, or Ooni for pizza lovers, they will delight in stepping up to the grillmaster title and dining al fresco.

Perhaps they share their fondness for the finer things in life or balk at the heat and humidity outside; gifts that make a home (or any place with sweet, sweet AC) a little more relieving are always appreciated. Popular wellness picks include the Human Touch WholeBody 7.1 Massage Chair for a souped-up home spa or a full facial experience with Theraface Pro by Therabody and its accompanying skincare line. 

Adding wellness gift choices to your Online or On-site Gifting programs are ever-popular options to offer when appreciating their hard work and encouraging them to enjoy their me-time.

 

With plenty of options to choose from, there are countless ways to take gifting to the next level by appealing to the personality types people embody in the summer. While a gift card or standard gift shows your appreciation fine enough, it’s clear how getting to select a premium gift that is perfectly attuned to their own aspirations and interests makes them feel inherently appreciated, on and off the clock.
