101 Christmas Premiums: festive corporate gifts
Whether they are the type who buy their Christmas presents months before 25 December or on Christmas Eve, consumers are often lacking inspiration when it comes to picking the right gift.
This situation is possibly even more prevalent when it comes to corporate buyers looking to give clients that little thank-you to mark the end of the year. So this is where 101 Christmas Premiums comes in, to provide ideas across all needs and budgets.

This is the first time the report has been run since P&I tied up with Marketing. Since the last issue, a notable change to the market has been a considerable rise in prices. This is not just in terms of technology-related items - even small environmental products have been affected to some degree.
To make 101 Christmas Premiums easy to navigate, we have broken down the list into four categories, with the products arranged in order of ascending price.
So whether your budget is for a 'garden in a tin', a stocking filler or even a wine-tasting experience in the south of France, there should be something here to help you decide what's best for your clients.
