What We Do...
We provide unique and original corporate gifts to suit a wide range of occasions.
Goody Bags: We provide business goody bags for conference delegates, for staff or clients at Christmas or when celebrating the end of a project, and goodie bags to give away at corporate events. Our range includes cheap and cheerful and premium and luxury, and we usually tailor the contents of the goody bags to fit your brief and budget exactly. You can put together your own bespoke Goody Bags by using our ‘Create Your Own’ option, or just send us your brief to see what ideas we come up with uniquely created to be bespoke to you.
Business Hampers: We offer a wide range of hampers and gift boxes filled with a variety of edible, pampering or gadget-y treats for you to give to staff or clients, whether at Christmas or during the rest of the year. A highly tailored and unique way to cement business relationship and maintain staff morale, our business hampers and gift boxes have been a huge success with many of our clients, and repeat business is at an extremely high level. Year after year, our customers return for our stylish, fun and delicious business hampers, and year after year we create a bespoke selection of goodies to meet their requirements.
Corporate Gifts: Rather than offering a range of corporate gifts which is the same as what you would find on many other corporate gift websites, we very carefully select the best priced, most creative and unique corporate presents for you to choose from. Whether that’s branded candles or engraved silver gifts, cut crystal products or Belgian chocolates, our USP is the ability to combine a variety of unique items together in branded packaging to create a very high impact yet price conscious corporate gift option for you.
Unlike other corporate gift websites, we provide truly original business gift ideas, with a very wide range of budgets catered to. From premium corporate gift hampers and baskets through to fun business goodie bags, all our corporate gift ideas are put together to ensure that your clients and employees will really appreciate and enjoy them. So, why not drop the branded stress balls and "one size fits all" t-shirts and see what we have to offer - items which clients, staff and customers will like receiving, and remember. We can create corporate gift ideas at extremely short notice, and will match ideas that we present back to you to your preferred budget - all our options are extremely good value, and we won't make you buy in bulk to receive the best prices. We simply provide outstanding business gifts, goody bags and launch packs that you can tailor to suit your budget and recipients.

Memorable, Modern Corporate Gift Ideas for Clients & Employees...
Don’t feel confined by the one size fits all approach you’re expecting to find - because we let you tailor the contents of your gift bags and boxes to suit your clients or employees, that doesn’t mean you have to buy the same gift for everyone! We can even create corporate hampers. Gifts and goodie bags which are bespoke to individuals! It's always a lovely surprise when a group of people receive corporate gifs, but once one is opened, the others know that their gift is likely to be the same. Maybe you’d like to make your staff gifts unique to each individual member of staff - whether that’s simply different wines and chocolates for different employees, or as individual as giving the geeks a box of cool and up to date gadgets, or pamper the stressed out with relaxing gifts full of pampering goodies. Of course, if you already have your own branded materials or items, we’re more than happy to incorporate them into the gifts for you.
Personalised Gift Tags & Gift Message Cards
There is nothing quite as good at creating an impact as associating your company name with an excellent corporate gift! We can not only tailor the contents of your corporate gifts, and source from thousands of individual products to get the right mix for you, but we can personalise them too. From printing onto the actual gifts through to supplying edible treats featuring branded labels, or having your goodie bags and gift baskets featuring a bespoke printed gift tag, we have a wide range of extremely cost effective methods to brand your corporate presents. We can design and print gift tags and greetings cards with logos, messages and names - allowing you to decide if you’d like to make each individual corporate gift completely personal to each recipient - with the right name and appropriate message featuring on the gift tag and/or greetings card. We can print bespoke greetings cards which feature your company logo and message too, providing a unique service which again is not hindered by the expense of minimum runs or high creative costs. We very much view this as all part of the service, and our gift tags start from just 20p each including all creative and printing costs. Tags and cards are ideal for making sure your corporate Christmas gifts and goodie bags hit the right note between branded and personal, perfect for ensuring staff gifts and recognition awards convey exactly the right message.
You can order online for off the shelf corporate gifts which is an ideal option is time is of the essence, or contact us for ideas and prices on bespoke business gifts and goody bags.
Ostentatious Goodie Bags Can Create Bad PR - Plus Bribery Act Fears Alleviated
When thinking about giving goodie bags, businesses can be swung by the idea of emulating the Oscars’ goody bags - big, bling, expensive and fit for A list celebrities. However, as press coverage in years gone by can attest to, sometimes this sort of level of generosity can back fire in public relations terms. Think back to late 2008 when the recession hit and bankers was a word akin to homicidal maniacs for a time - the press surrounding their staff goodie bags which were given out at the Christmas party was not favourable, to say the least.
Sometimes it’s just an exclusive brand name which can convey a theme of excess and wilful over spending - for example the press reported that one bank’s staff received a bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne in their goodie bags - but of course there are a variety of different size bottles available, and there was no mention of whether the bottle was one of the single serve options. It’s all about taking care to ensure what you give staff and clients hits exactly the right note for those receiving the bags, and, if you are potentially in the public eye, for those not receiving the goodie bags too! And the press are always keen to attach a price tag to the goodie bags in these sort of instances, so care needs to be taken about the perceived retail value whilst simultaneously striking the right balance with a high perceived value for the recipients. A rather careful line needs to be stuck to!
At Cocoon Corporate, we act as a corporate gift agency, and have ways to alleviate concerns such as these. And, with the Bribery Act due to come into force in the UK in July 2011, there can be legal issues as well which could create a troublesome vibe about the whole goodie bag and corporate gift giving subject. It’s a misnomer to worry about the Bribery Act with regard to the sort of business gifts you will find one this website, however. The Bribery Act is specifically aimed towards targeting excessive gifts which have a clear (and very high) cash equivalent value. Its trips abroad with little or no rationale behind them -think UK based pharmaceutical companies shipping a lorry load of UK based doctors and their families out to the Seychelles for a conference on their new medications - the Act is designed to put a stop to the sort of thing which could be perceived as an indirect bribe.
Hospitality tickets to events are unlikely to be targeted too - unless it’s a batch of 10 tickets being given and no-one from the company even attending as well. Again, it’s a pretty clear cut case of indirect bribery, and one which the Act hopes to stamp out. Giving corporate gifts such as the business hampers and goodie bags you’ll see on our website come nowhere close to the scope of the Act - they are genuine gifts - and they are not affected by the change in legislation whatsoever.
Even if you are looking to spoil your recipients and spend big, we’re on hand to offer advice and our expertise in selecting items which won’t have the press up in arms - a high perceived value but a difficult to calculate retail value, for example. Its something which the press don’t tend to bother with as it’s not a clear enough story for them. And of course, your purchases with us remain completely confidential from the start of negotiations through to long, long after the event has been and gone - will be never disclose any of the information relating to your purchases with us, financial or otherwise, to anyone other than yourselves. We pride ourselves on complete customer satisfaction - and we would in no way risk anything other than a happy customer in any circumstances.
So why not start planning your corporate Christmas gifts now - whether that’s some of our exclusive and much sought after business hampers for your clients - where you can tailor packaging, greetings cards, gift tags and contents to suit your preferences - or even individual recipients’ preferences. Or have a browse through our range of Goody Bags - we offer both off the shelf or create you own goody bag options so you can again tailor contents, packaging, colour schemes, and printed personalised tags to fit your exact requirements. This flexibility means we can meet budget constraints without too much pain, however tight the spend is this year!
