Quick answer

Plan corporate wine gifts for agencies sending client thank-yous, festive gifts or project completion gifts.

Use this as planning guidance only. Confirm stock, pricing, delivery, suitability and event availability directly with suppliers.

Who it is for

  • Creative, media, digital and PR agencies thanking clients.
  • Account teams sending project completion gifts.
  • Agency founders planning partner or referral thank-yous.

Budget guidance

  • £25-£50: practical thank-you bottle, compact hamper or sparkling alternative.
  • £50-£100: stronger presentation or client-tiered gifting.
  • Allow extra time and budget for branded inserts if needed.

These are planning bands only. Supplier prices, delivery charges, VAT, stock and availability must be confirmed directly.

Recommended approaches

  • Use gift notes that thank the client for the project or partnership without sounding promotional.
  • Choose presentation-led hampers or sparkling routes for broad appeal.
  • Keep a simple approval process for account teams.

What to avoid

  • Branded packaging that delays fulfilment beyond the deadline.
  • Assuming every client contact can accept alcohol.

Practical checklist

  • Confirm client list, messages and budget owner.
  • Ask suppliers about gift notes, branding, substitutions and delivery reports.
  • Check client gift policies for public sector or regulated clients.
  • Offer alcohol-free alternatives where appropriate.
