For HR, Marketing and Office Management who want more than a logo on a pen
The branded notebook. The umbrella with the company logo. The mug that ends up at the back of a cupboard after three months.
We all know them.
And we all know: they usually end up in the bin.
Corporate gifting has an image problem. Not because giving is wrong — but because most gifts say: we didn't really think about this.
It doesn't have to be that way.
What Makes a Truly Good Corporate Gift?
A sustainable corporate gift is one that gets used every day, reminds the recipient of the giving brand — and shows that the company lives its values in the small gestures too.
Quick checklist for sustainable corporate gifting:
✔ Materials named specifically — not just "sustainable" or "eco-friendly"
✔ Locally produced or with a transparent supply chain
✔ Durable enough for years of daily use
✔ Plastic-free packaging — the first impression matters
✔ Functional enough to actually be used
✔ Optional personalisation — company logo or initials possible
Why Corporate Gifting Is Changing Right Now
Three developments are fundamentally shifting the corporate gifting landscape:
Employees expect more. A generic promotional gift lands differently today than it did ten years ago — especially with younger teams for whom values aren't a side issue.
Clients make more conscious decisions. A sustainably produced gift sends a clear signal about a company's position — long before any invoice is issued.
ESG is becoming measurable. More and more companies report on their environmental footprint — and procurement decisions, including gifts, feed into that picture.
🌱 Did you know? According to a Cone Communications study, 87% of consumers say they would buy a product because a company advocated for an issue they care about — and 76% would refuse to buy from a company they found to hold the opposite position. What applies to products applies equally to gifts. (Source: Cone Communications CSR Study, 2017)

Vegan Laptop Bag – daily visibility, lasting impact

Why it works for companies:
- professional appearance that fits any workplace culture
- dedicated laptop compartment — built for the daily office routine

optional company logo embossing

Message to the recipient: We value your work — and we're thinking about tomorrow too.
Vegan Shopper Bag – the premium gift with built-in laptop function
The Shopper Bag is more than a spacious bag. With a dedicated laptop compartment for devices up to 15", it combines everyday versatility with professional function — making it a compelling alternative to a classic laptop bag, particularly for women.
Why it works for companies:
- dedicated laptop compartment for devices up to 15" — ideal for the daily commute
- versatile enough for the office, errands and the weekend
- spacious enough for a full working day
- optional company logo embossing

Message to the recipient: We see you as a whole person — not just a role.
Budget-Conscious Gifts — for the Whole Team
Laptop Sleeve + Lunch Bag – the sustainable duo for everyday office life
For companies that want to gift the entire team without overstretching the budget: the combination of a laptop sleeve and lunch bag is a thoughtful gift set with genuine everyday value.
Laptop Sleeve — protects the device that gets used most every day. Minimalist, functional, with a soft inner lining. Made from Washpapa® — a washable kraft paper material from Germany. Optional logo embossing.
Lunch Bag — for team members who bring their own lunch. A lasting replacement for disposable packaging, easy to clean and built to last. Also made from Washpapa®.
Why this combination works for companies:
- two products in daily use — double the visibility
- suitable for all team members regardless of role or hierarchy
- a clear signal for wellbeing and sustainable everyday culture

Vegan Wallet – as an add-on or for smaller budgets
For companies looking for something more personal or working with a tighter budget: a vegan wallet in Viridis® is minimalist, present every day and suitable for everyone. It works particularly well as an addition to a larger gift or as a standalone thank-you.
Personalisation: When the Gift Becomes the Brand
Every Plant Inside product can be embossed with a company logo or initials — subtle, professional, lasting.
The key: less is more. A discreet embossing looks more professional than a large logo. The product stays front and centre — the brand is present, but never intrusive.

Corporate Gifts That Last
The best corporate gift isn't the most expensive one.
It's the one that gets used every day. That quietly reminds the recipient of the brand that gave it. That shows a company doesn't just communicate its values — it lives them.
A vegan laptop bag or shopper bag for leaders and clients who commute to the office every day. A sleeve and a lunch bag for the whole team — regardless of role or hierarchy.
Simple in concept. Meaningful in practice.
Behind each of these products is a decision — for materials that cause no harm. For people who work with care. For things that last.
