In any business, clients are way more than just a dollar sign on your bottom line; they're part of the family.
Showing gratitude through a carefully selected gift can affirm the value of the relationship you share. Whether celebrating a successful partnership, thanking them for their loyalty, or simply wanting to make them smile, a unique and thoughtful gift can leave a lasting impression.
In this post, we’ll explore some creative and personal gift ideas that are sure to leave a smile on your client's faces.
We are not sponsored by any of these companies! We're just sharing the best unique client gifts we could find.
Let’s get started with our first unique client gift idea which is wildly popular in 2024.
Giving a customized Stanley cup as a gift to your clients is a unique way to show appreciation and keep your business in their thoughts.
Stanley Create offers a fun and personalized gifting experience, allowing you to customize your favorite Stanley bottles, tumblers, and barware. Engraving your business logo, a special message, or even a playful drawing directly onto a Stanley cup makes for a one-of-a-kind gift.
Not to mention, the quality of a Stanley cup is unmatched. They are so durable and keep drinks at the perfect temperature for hours. Clients will be reminded of your own reliable business who gifted them the quality cup.
In 2024, Stanley cups have become extremely popular, making them a sought-after gift that clients are sure to love and use daily. Even if your client themselves has no need for a water bottle, odds are their husband, wife, or kids would!
Whether it's a monogram, a custom graphic, or a simple text, personalizing a Stanley cup for your clients not only offers them a practical and stylish gift but also serves as a constant reminder of your thoughtful partnership.
To customize a Stanley cup just visit the section of their website called "Stanley Create" where you can choose a Stanley cup, and customize it using any photo.
Acacia Crafts Art's Personalized Charcuterie Board
If you don't know what a Charcuterie Board is, you're not alone! They are just a fancy piece of wood where all sorts of meats, cheeses, and fruits are served on. But they are incredibly popular right now, frequently used at parties to serve guests.
They are not just functional but are also a piece of art for the table, especially when they are made from materials like marble and acacia wood. Charcuterie boards, just like wine, bring a touch of class and sophistication to any gathering.
They're perfect for formal occasions or a cozy evening at home, making them a talking point among guests. Imagine your client hosting a party where the charcuterie board you gifted becomes the center of attention. It could even lead to a referral for your business! Who knows!
You can find a variety of charcuterie boards on platforms like Etsy, where people hand-make custom boards. Whether it's laser engraving the client's family name, a special date, or even your business logo, a personalized charcuterie board turns an already elegant gift into something truly special and unique.
We found one charcuterie board that really stands out from Acacia Crafts Art that you should really check out, but go ahead and shop around on Etsy for more options.
Gifting a wine subscription to a client can be a unique and sophisticated choice.

A Customized Dog Oven Mitt from Pet Party on Etsy
Everyone uses oven mitts, and these aren’t just any mitts; they’re hilarious and heartwarming, featuring the adorable face of your client's beloved pet. Handcrafted by local part-time moms in Portland, Oregon, each pair is made to order, ensuring a unique and personal touch.
Customized dog oven mitts are an ingenious gift idea for that client who loves their furry friend. While there’s a bit of (4) legwork involved (did you get the pun?)—since you'll need to make sure your client has a dog (obviously), and trickier, you'll need a picture of their dog—the effort is absolutely worth it. If your client has a puppy, this gift is sure to be a home run, no doubt.
If you're close with your client already, being straightforward is the best approach. Dog owner's phones are already filled to the brim with dog pics, so we all know they have them! Just be direct and tell them you're making a little gift for them and if their comfortable with it, you'll need a picture of their puppy.
You can find them here from the seller "Pet Party" on Etsy.

A Personalized Cutting Board from CraftSyde
Just like the personalized charcuterie board (we suggested earlier), a personalized cutting board offers a blend of elegance, sophistication, and practicality, making it an excellent gift for clients. However, a cutting board is likely to see more frequent use, becoming an essential part of daily meal preparation. This means your gift will not only be a beautiful addition to your client's kitchen but also a constant reminder of your business's thoughtfulness.
Personalized cutting boards serve multiple purposes; they're not just for chopping vegetables or meats. They can be styled as a serving board for appetizers, a cheese board for elegant gatherings, or even as a decorative piece on a dining table or kitchen counter. They are so versatile that you won't have to worry, your client will absolutely have a use for it!
We found one on Etsy from the seller CraftSyde, and it a great choice not only because it uses beautiful walnut wood, but because it has a ocean-like effect that is so memorable. If your client enjoys vacation destinations like Florida or Mexico, or just likes to go out to the beach, they are bound to love this gift.
