Why 70% of Christmas gifts business miss their target
THE Christmas gift company Classic - pen, calendar, chocolate - ends forgotten before mid-January. The corporate Advent calendar, distributed at the end of November, is opened distreatment and discarded. The symbolic effect is zero, the emotional ROI close to zero.
A Christmas game company Well designed (home card game, family puzzle, board game set) changes the dynamics: the object comes home, is played with the family during the parties, stays on the living room table for several weeks. The contact between your brand and the recipient lasts 30-60 days instead of 30 seconds.

CSR Christmas Gift: Criteria that Matters
In 2026, the Christmas gift is a classic company that is a little bit of a CSR-like gift. To check the CSRD boxes and to keep a team sensitive to the issues:
- French materials : PEFC paper, FSC cardboard, French beech/redwood: PEFC Label
- Plant-based inks (no petrochemical solvent): Plant-based inks
- ESAT partnership for packaging (inclusion through work)
- Production France (Carbon check vs Asia gift ×5 times better)
- EN71 compliance if recipient potentially a child
See our CSR commitments and certifications and our game method Made in France.
3 classic mistakes of a missed Christmas gift company
Error 1: Launch the briefing in November. Too late. Production France = 4-8 weeks incompressible. Brief before end of October mandatory.
Error 2: Generic for 1000 people. The "neutral" gift that pleases everyone marks no one. Custom-made to corporate values > soft consensus.
Error 3: Zero effect measurement. Taking out an internal survey in February ("Did you get a Christmas gift?") allows you to measure ROI and adjust for the following year.
