The Top 10 Corporate Holiday Gifts of 2019
2019 Corporate Holiday Gifts?! While it feels as if the holidays are far off, the gifting reality is much different. When you consider the time to browse, sample, brand and print, now is the perfect time to start your holiday gift order.

Better still? We’ve rounded up the best, most sought-after and most #trending gifts of the year – the must-haves topping client’s, vendor’s, partner’s and staff’s wish lists this year. Be the seasonal superstar by locking down one or more of these amazing branded holiday gifts now.

North Face is a household name for a reason. This classic backpack is a perfect example of North Face cool, casual and totally versatile – all with your prominent branding to engage and activate recipients and everyone they pass.
That is just the beginning of why the Groundwork Backpack made our holiday list. Yes, it’s cool and yes, it’s classic North Face, but this bag offers a padded back panel with a spine channel and FlexVent™ Suspension for maximum support. It’s so supportive, in fact, that it’s endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association for its ability to reduce pressure and improve ventilation – so you know it’s rock solid.
If you’re giving a bag to an outdoorsy person – that hiker, camper or explorer on your list – they’ll no doubt appreciate the bungee cord for added storage and the two mesh water bottle pockets. If they couldn’t be further from getting OUT, they’ll be all about the floating padded laptop sleeve in the main compartment, plus the padded top handle and a sternum strap that improves comfort and wearability.
