Corporate Gifts

I need ideas for Corporate Gifts other than than the obvious engraved pens/usb sticks. Have any of you received one that is really great? They are to be given to guest speakers and are a gift from a NPO.

Because of ongoing changes on what can be taken on board as carry on luggage, the choice is reduced even more and perishables are out as well (chocolates/wine/etc).

Thank you for ideas/suggestions!

Re: Corporate Gifts

Best remembered and not passed onto the kids if the gift is relevent to the industry and not found in the office stock cupboard.

Saying that, Caran D'ache do some super fountain pens, though

Re: Corporate Gifts

I got a rubix cube with the companies logo and key messages on each side as part of a corporate set once. I imagine it could be cheap in bulk and could make up part of it...



Well I really liked it anyway!

one of the best corporate gifts i saw was instead of giving a USB stick with stuff on, they gave out an iPod Touch with data loaded onto it!

Re: Corporate Gifts

I have a client that gave away power adapters in their corporate colors with logo. I still hear compliments about those and many people still carry them (including me). It is a two piece unit/universal adapter. I am sure they cost a LOT less than 100CHF.
