#031 - What To Actually Get Your Employees For Christmas

In this episode of Promotions Playbook, Pascal react to real-world examples of brands winning big with eco-friendly, high-impact corporate gifts.

They break down how Sephora, Kohl’s, and Poppy use pop-up experiences and personalised merch to win over Gen Z, and what you can steal from those tactics for your own brand. Then they react to Lauren’s breakdown of the top 5 eco-friendly corporate products employees actually want, and unpack why sustainability, practicality, and thoughtful presentation make the difference between a gift that gets used daily and one that goes straight in the bin.

You’ll learn how to use your merch budget wisely, why eco products are a second layer of brand messaging, and get simple, practical ideas for gifts that genuinely fit your team’s lifestyle, from desk sets to gym-ready bundles.
