Unwrap What’s Next: 2025 Holiday Gifting Trends
More Than a Present 🎁
The holiday season is just around the corner, and when it comes to client and customer appreciation, the best gifts are the ones that feel thoughtful, memorable, and aligned with the moment. At LMH Experiences, we believe gifting is more than a transaction—it’s a touchpoint that strengthens relationships and creates lasting impressions.
Here are four gifting trends shaping the 2025 holiday season:
Experiential Gifting
Clients are looking for more than another box on their desk. This year, gifts that offer an experience—from at-home cocktail kits with virtual mixology classes to passes for exclusive cultural events—are taking center stage. The gift of a memory will always outlast a branded mug.
82% of Americans prefer experiences over physical gifts.
Hyper Personalized
Personalized gifting has moved beyond monograms. Think curated selections based on a client’s preferences: a bourbon tasting set for the whiskey lover, or wellness-forward bundles for those who value balance. Tailored touches show thoughtfulness and ensure your gift feels truly one-of-a-kind.
80% of consumers are more likely to engage with a brand that offers personalized experiences or products
Sustainable & Purpose-Driven
Eco-conscious gifting is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s expected. In 2025, more companies are choosing gifts that are sustainably sourced, ethically produced, or tied to social impact. Whether it’s reusable kitchenware, artisan-made goods, or items that give back, clients notice when your brand aligns with values.
53% of buyers are willing to pay more for environmentally friendly or socially responsible gifts.
Luxury in the Details
It’s not always about the size of the gift but the way it’s presented. Elevated packaging, premium materials, and exclusive collaborations are trending this year. A beautifully wrapped, thoughtfully designed gift feels indulgent and makes the unboxing experience part of the magic.
70% of recipients say the presentation and quality of a gift influence their perception of the brand.
