In this guide
Christmas and New Year close the corporate gifting year. The Diwali rush is over, budgets have often been reset, and clients are in a reflective, thank-you mood. It is also the one time of year when a diary or desk calendar is exactly what everyone needs, because they start using it the following week.
This guide covers Christmas and New Year corporate gifts for 2027: New Year diaries and calendars for clients, Secret Santa gifts for the office, year-end hampers and the dates your order needs to hit. Prices are per piece from our corporate gift store, before branding and GST.
Why the New Year is the best time to give a diary
A diary given at Diwali competes with the one the recipient is already using. A diary given in late December becomes the diary for the year. It sits on the desk and goes into meetings, and it carries your logo for twelve months. The same goes for desk calendars.
- A5 diary and pen sets (₹390–₹765). Thirty-five finishes, from classic tan and navy to striped and embossed covers. See diary and pen sets.
- Diary, pen and keychain trios (₹555–₹945). A small upgrade with a second branded piece. See diary, pen and keychain sets.
- Diary, pen and card holder sets (₹765–₹1,140). A complete desk-and-wallet set for clients. See diary, pen and card holder sets.
- Standalone branded diaries (₹162–₹465). Hardbound A5 diaries with elastic closures for very large client lists. See diaries and notebooks.
Desk calendars that never go out of date
A printed wall calendar is thrown away every December. A perpetual desk calendar, with wooden blocks or a flip mechanism, stays on the desk for years. Paired with a diary and pen, it is one of the most visible gifts you can send.
- Diary, pen and desk calendar sets (₹555–₹1,260). The bamboo DCP-02 at ₹885 pairs a bamboo diary with a wooden perpetual calendar. See desk calendar sets.

Christmas gifts for employees and Secret Santa under ₹500
Many offices run a Secret Santa in the week before Christmas. The problem with a free-for-all is joke gifts nobody wants. A simple fix is to let the company supply a small, useful gift with a price cap, and let people add a personal note.
| Budget | Gift | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Under ₹250 | Pen and keychain set | ₹180–₹240 |
| Under ₹250 | Phone stand | ₹120–₹195 |
| Under ₹400 | Insulated mug with lid | from ₹360 |
| Under ₹500 | Diary and pen set | from ₹390 |
| Under ₹500 | Pen, keychain and card holder set | ₹330–₹405 |
Tumblers with cork bases (₹510) and insulated flasks (from ₹345) are also popular in winter for hot drinks. See tumblers and mugs and flasks and bottles.
Year-end hampers for clients
If you did not gift clients at Diwali, or want to thank a smaller group at year-end, a hamper in the last two weeks of December lands at a quieter time and gets noticed.
- Bottle 6-in-1 set (₹1,830–₹2,490). Six pieces including a mug. See bottle 6-in-1 sets.
- Tumbler 5-in-1 set (₹1,800–₹2,100). See tumbler 5-in-1 sets.
- Double Decker premium set (₹2,550–₹3,600). Our most premium presentation box. See Double Decker sets.
- Tech sets (₹1,620–₹2,715). Power banks, wireless mice and pendrives. See electronics.
For how to present and brand a client hamper, see our guide to Diwali gift hampers for clients. The same principles apply at year-end.
Branding New Year diaries
- Deboss the cover. A debossed logo on a PU leather cover looks premium and does not wear off.
- Add a note card. A short printed thank-you tucked inside the cover makes the diary personal.
- Personalise for clients. The client's name on the cover is the upgrade people remember.
- Engrave the pen. A small laser-engraved logo on the pen completes the set.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best New Year corporate gifts?
Diaries and desk calendars, because they are used from the first working day of the year. Diary and pen sets, perpetual wooden desk calendars and diary, pen and card holder sets are the most practical, and they carry your brand for twelve months.
What is a good Secret Santa gift for the office under ₹500?
An insulated mug (from ₹360), a pen and keychain set (₹180–₹375), a diary and pen set (from ₹390) or a phone stand (₹120–₹450). They are useful for everyone, so no one is left with a joke gift.
When should we order New Year diaries for clients?
Confirm branded diary orders by the last week of November so they can be delivered in the second half of December, before offices close for the holidays.
Do dated or undated diaries make better corporate gifts?
Undated diaries and perpetual calendars have a longer life, because they can be started at any time and are never out of date. Dated 2027 diaries are traditional but need to be ordered and delivered before January.
