2025 Corporate Gifting Calendar: Plan Gifts That Make an Impact

Corporate gifting isn’t just a tradition—it’s an opportunity. A chance to say “thank you,” to celebrate milestones, and to show employees, clients, and partners that they’re valued. But let’s be real: in a world of generic gifts, standing out takes something more.

That’s where ethical corporate gifting comes in. Thoughtful, sustainable gifts from MADE FREE don’t just look good—they do good. Every product supports freedom from human trafficking. We do this by providing artisans with fair wages, safe and dignified working environments, and by using eco-friendly materials to protect the planet.

Ready to make corporate gifting easy and impactful in 2025? Here’s your month-by-month guide for HR professionals. 


Why Ethical Corporate Gifts Are the Way Forward

20% of employee gifts end up in the trash

A 2019 study by the Ad Specialty Institute found only 21% of corporate gifts are kept and that about 23% of employee gifts end up in the trash, which doesn't help our growing landfill problem. And most of the time, the rest are regifted. 

Let’s skip the wasteful, forgettable swag. In 2025, businesses are looking for gifts that:

  • Empower People: MADE FREE products directly support makers in India with safe work, skills training, and fair wages, helping to end human trafficking.
  • Support Sustainability: Thoughtfully designed with organic cotton, recycled fabrics, and durable materials, MADE FREE gifts last—and that reduces waste.
  • Tell Your Brand’s Story: When you give gifts with purpose, it reflects a company that values people, the planet, and positive impact.
