Holiday Spirit Boxes
Holiday spirit boxes focus on the joy of the winter holidays and are welcomed by employees. After all, everyone enjoys receiving gifts. Here are a few items to include in your holiday gift box to generate some winter cheer:
- Stocking ornaments and gift cards (A popular option for employees)

For the main gift, consider a Venue Fleece Custom Quarter-Zip Pullover by New Era for men or a Sport-Wick Stretch Contrast Half-Zip Pullover by SPORT-TEK for women. Add in an Engraved 18 oz Rambler Bottle by YETI for a special gift box.
New Year’s Boxes
A specific type of holiday gift box, the New Year’s gift box should reflect the glamor and glitz of the turning of the year. Make up a party box with any of the following:
- Corkcicle® Sip Sangria & Snack Craft Cocktail Kits
- La Cuisine Charcuterie Boards
- Corkcicle® Flute Glass Sets (2)

The weather can be chilly as you count down to the New Year, so add some outerwear to this holiday gift box. For men, consider the Parkview Custom Quarter-Zip Pullover by Tri-Mountain. For the women on your promotional gift list, opt for the Sequel by Tri-Mountain.
