9 Thoughtful Corporate Gift Ideas

Buying gifts for employees, clients, and business partners can be a minefield. What can you get that is appropriate, suits everyone, and will actually be used and enjoyed? Everyone loves spending time outdoors, so whether you’ve assembled a team of avid gardeners or want to inspire the next generation of green fingers, we have the perfect selection of eco-friendly corporate gifts here at Mr Fothergill’s!

Finding the right gardening gift is much easier than you think! Here are nine corporate gifting ideas that are sure to impress your team and make them feel truly appreciated this season. Whether you’re aiming for something relaxing, practical, or unique, you’ll find a gardening gift that fits the message of promoting growing eco-friendly and sustainable produce below.

1. Biodegradable Custom Seed Packets

What better corporate Christmas gift idea than some custom seed packets from our Seed Creations collection? The biodegradable custom seed packets come in a variety of seeds, from beautiful flower seeds to aromatic herb seeds and all the vegetable seeds they could want to grow in their own home!

Even better, you can fully customise your seed packets to your liking and have the packets printed with your company logo. These biodegradable custom seed packets make the perfect gift for all environmentally conscious businesses.

2. Chilli Can Grow Kit

Whilst nothing can beat being out in the flower garden or veg patch, for spice lovers, you can find a fantastic selection of chill-can-grow kits. From the milder Jalapeno Grow Kits to the spicier Cayenne Grow Kit and the world's hottest pepper, the scorching hot Carolina Reaper Grow Kit, you can spice up the workplace with the hottest corporate gifts. 

3. Grow & Brew Tea Kit

Another green-fingered corporate gift is a Grow & Brew Tea Kit. Expensive tea might not be an unusual gift, but what about tea that you grow, harvest, and brew for yourself? It ticks lots of boxes: sustainable, fun, rewarding, and most importantly, tasty, with flavours like chamomile, lemon balm, and bergamot. Each Mr Fothergill’s Grow & Brew Tea Kit has everything a budding tea grower might need, including seeds, a biodegradable pot, a soil pellet, an enamel mug, a tea strainer, and instructions.

4. Mini Plantable Pot

A mini plantable pot is the perfect corporate gift for introducing people to gardening and ensuring they become sustainable, environmentally friendly gardeners. The pots allow them to sow and grow a seed and then plant the pot and seed in the ground! For recipients with families, they make a fantastic way to introduce gardening to children. 

5. Chalkboard Tins

Chalkboard tins are a great way to label precisely what you are growing! These cute grow kits come in four different varieties. With a Coriander Chalkboard Tin, Parsley Chalkboard Tin, or Basil Chalkboard Tin, you can grow great herbs from your home. 

6. Bonsai Starter Kit

If you’re looking for a corporate gift that’s memorable, long-lasting, and a little out of the ordinary, why not give a bonsai starter kit a try? Bonsais are a thoughtful choice: they’re calming but rewarding, hands-on, creative, and small enough to sit on a desk. 

They can brighten up any office or a home working space, and at under $20 each, they don’t break the bank either. Not to mention, with the proper care, they’ll live for years—they're truly a gift that keeps on giving! Mr Fothergill’s bonsai starter kits come with everything needed to get growing, including full instructions, so they’re perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.

7. Grow Kit Tins

Round grow kit tins make a colourful addition to any home or office. Each kit contains a metal-coloured pot and seeds, and soil pellets. Grow your own strawberry kits, tomato kits, or opt for sweet-smelling lavender kits. Bring a little piece of the garden to your workplace with a round grow kit tin. Windowsill Grow Kit Tins are a fantastic choice for growing some amazing herbs, vegetables, and flowers all from your windowsill—the perfect eco-friendly and stylish gift. Be sure to browse our amazing all-in-one grow kits from Mr Fothergill’s.

8. HydroGarden

Not everybody has the outdoor space to grow an assortment of seeds, but thankfully, our range of HydroGardens makes gardening accessible to everyone. Designed to make growing indoors as simple as possible, you can give your employees a way to grow all their favourite plants and produce from the comfort of their couch! 

Once set up, our smart hydroponic gardens take care of everything themselves, fitted to handle the day/night cycle and water the seeds independently. All you need to do is sow the seeds, add water to the HydroGarden and enjoy the results. We have a great range of HydroGardens, including the HydroGarden Elite, HydroGarden Classic, and the All-in-One Grow Kit. 

9. Glass Grow Vase

Last but by no means least, we have the glass grow vase. In this one-of-a-kind vase, you can grow stunning flowers and observe the entire growing process. Balancing elegance and contemporary style, this vase can grow all kinds of indoor plants, including flower bulbs and even some fruit seeds such as avocado—the perfect corporate gifting idea to bring some vibrant colours into your recipient's homes.
