Loop and Tie

Loop and Tie,

Loop & Tie users sent 109,056 gifts through our marketplace last year. That’s a lot of gifts!

So, we dug through the data to uncover which items recipients can’t get enough of. If you’re looking for corporate gift ideas in 2025, start here.📍

Why companies love choice-based gifting

Finding the perfect gift for employees and customers is hard. That’s why we say: Don’t do it! Let them choose their own gift instead.

✅ Fun for giftees
✅ Easy for gifters
🎁 Everyone benefits!

This is called choice-based gifting – sending curated collections of items so recipients can decide what they want best.

Because Loop & Tie uses choice-based gifting, all of the data you’ll see below reflects not just what companies sent, but what recipients picked out for themselves.

It’s not every day that you get to peek inside the minds of corporate gift recipients to find out what gifts they actually want.

What’s hot in corporate gifting

Based on our marketplace data, these are the category trends you need to know for your gifting initiatives this year.

Food + Drink are the hottest commodity

Gifts in the Food + Drink category were by far the most-picked items! Whether giftees selected something sweet or savory, delicious gifts are in right now.

Practical and functional gifts are must-haves

People were more likely to pick items from the Lifestyle (24%) category than the Home (17%) or Beauty + Wellness (16%) categories.

This could mean a few things – like maybe more people are trying out minimalism – but our take is that folks are opting for practical gifts that fit their recreational hobbies and interests.

Giftees want the option to gift-it-forward

When given the choice to pick a gift for themselves or donate the value of the gift to a charity, 10% of recipients chose the latter. That’s 10,000+ people! Including the option to donate to a cause is a great way to engage all recipients in your initiative.

Budget-friendly gifts

The most frequently sent collections available year-round were the $25, $50, and $100 collections. These gifters showcase that great gifting initiatives can be done on a budget!

Customer appreciation is top-of-mind for gifters

Most of the collections in Loop & Tie’s marketplace are available year-round, but some seasonal collections are available for limited times throughout the year.

Last year, the most sent seasonal collections were the $25 and $50 Customer Appreciation collections and the $50 Shop Small collection.

Gifting goes international

We’re living in an interconnected world where your boss might live in Europe and your colleague calls North Africa home. Last year, Loop & Tie users sent international gifts to 76 different countries!

Let’s take a peek to see which marketplace items people were loving in 2024.

Your gifts make an impact

Loop & Tie was founded in 2013 with a mission to connect gifting with giving for a positive impact. We believe even the smallest decisions can powerfully shape the world around us – including the simple act of gifting.

That’s why we don’t just do corporate gifting – we do gifting differently.

Reduce waste. Choice-based gifting reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills due to generic and/or unwanted gifts. This also helps busy teams save time and money with easy-to-use workflows and easy-to-predict budgeting.
Support small businesses. Gifts in the Loop & Tie marketplace have been hand-picked by a team of buying and merchandising pros to support small businesses and makers, especially those run by members of marginalized communities.
Gift it forward. Most collections in the marketplace offer an option for recipients to donate the value of their gift to a charity of their choice.

To date, Loop & Tie customers and partners have turned gifting into a force for positive impact by:
