Office Christmas Party Giveaways and Return Gifts (2026)

An office Christmas party needs more than one kind of gift. There is the small thing every guest takes home, the prizes for games and quizzes, a few bigger prizes for a lucky draw, and sometimes awards for the year. Plan them as one list with four lines, and the evening runs without a last-minute dash to the shops.

Quick answer: Give every guest a small return gift in the ₹70 to ₹150 band, such as a Christmas tree candle, a pack of artisan cookies or a plantable notepad. Use ₹200 to ₹400 items such as a glow lamp, a coffee pack or a chocolate box as game prizes. Keep three to five bigger lucky draw prizes between ₹1,000 and ₹2,200, such as a glow lamp speaker, a portable blender, a room heater or a multifunction speaker. Order the headcount plus 5 to 10 percent, and aim for delivery to the venue two or three working days before the party.

The four kinds of party gifts

• Return gifts for every guest. One per person, handed out at the door or left on each seat. Low cost, light and quick to pack.
• Game and quiz prizes. Several per game; mid-range, fun and easy to hand out on stage.
• Lucky draw prizes. Three to five bigger items that make the draw worth waiting for.
• Awards. If you recognise people for the year, see rewards for top performers; a party is a good stage but the gift should match the achievement, not the party budget.

How did we choose these giveaways?

We picked these from the catalogue ourselves, without ranking them by sales or reviews. Return gifts had to be cheap enough for every guest, small enough to carry home after a party, and seasonal without religious imagery. Prizes had to look good when called out on stage, suit most winners regardless of age or role, and be useful after the party is over.

The best office Christmas party giveaways for 2026

1. 1

   Christmas tree candle, a return gift for every guest

   A small tree-shaped candle is the simplest Christmas return gift and costs little enough to give every guest, including plus-ones. It sits in the ₹70 to ₹100 band. Tie it with a printed tag that carries the party name and the year. Keep it in a small box or bag, as loose candles chip in a crowded cloakroom.

   Example from our rangeChristmas Tree - 1 CandleFrom ₹72 per unit, indicative
2. 2

   Artisan cookies, a return gift for families

   A pack of cookies is a return gift people share at home, which suits parties where families or children attend. It sits in the ₹120 to ₹150 band. A sticker or printed band carries the season's greetings. Check the label for egg and allergens, and keep a non-food option for guests who need one.

   Example from our rangeSuchalis Artisan CookiesFrom ₹129 per unit, indicative
3. 3

   Plantable notepad, an eco-friendly return gift

   A notepad made from seed paper can be planted after use, which suits teams with sustainability goals and avoids plastic giveaways. It sits around the ₹100 band. The cover can often be printed with a short message or your logo, confirmed per product in the quote. It is flat and light, so it packs easily in bulk.

   Example from our rangeBioQ Plantable A6 NotepadFrom ₹107 per unit, indicative
4. 4

   Ready-to-brew coffee pack, a quiz prize

   A pack of easy-pour coffee is a quick prize for quiz rounds and suits the coffee drinkers who usually win them. It sits around the ₹200 band, so you can give several per round. A sticker with the round name makes it feel like a trophy. It is light and sealed, so leftovers keep well.

   Example from our rangeBlue Tokai Vienna Dark Roast Easy PourFrom ₹200 per unit, indicative
5. 5

   Bottle glow lamp, a game prize

   A small decorative lamp looks good when held up on stage and suits winners of games such as dumb charades or best-dressed. It sits in the ₹300 to ₹350 band. Brand the box or add a tag; keep the lamp itself plain. It is a safer choice than candles for prizes taken back to desks.

   Example from our rangeBottle Glow LampFrom ₹315 per unit, indicative
6. 6

   Chocolate box, a team game prize

   For team games, a shareable chocolate box is the prize that the whole winning table enjoys on the spot. It sits in the ₹350 to ₹400 band. A sleeve or sticker can carry the party branding. Keep prizes in a cool room until they are handed out, especially in warmer cities.

   Example from our rangeFerrero Rocher T16 200gFrom ₹399 per unit, indicative
7. 7

   Glow lamp with speaker, a lucky draw prize

   A lamp that doubles as a speaker is a good opening prize for the lucky draw and suits winners of any age. It sits in the ₹1,000 to ₹1,100 band. Keep the product unbranded and add a card. Test one unit before the party so the host can show it off on stage.

   Example from our rangeOrbit Glow Lamp with SpeakerFrom ₹1,050 per unit, indicative
8. 8

   Portable blender, a lucky draw prize

   A portable blender suits fitness-minded colleagues and anyone who makes a morning smoothie. It sits in the ₹1,100 to ₹1,200 band. The appliance stays as made; a card carries your season's greetings. It is a practical prize that people use well beyond the holiday week.

   Example from our rangeSkyline Portable Blender (Blend Mate)From ₹1,149 per unit, indicative
9. 9

   Room heater, a winter lucky draw prize

   In a North Indian December, a room heater is a prize people will actually use the same night. It sits in the ₹1,300 to ₹1,400 band. It suits Delhi NCR, Chandigarh, Lucknow and other cold-winter cities; for offices in warmer cities, swap it for a kitchen appliance. Keep branding to the card.

   Example from our rangeSkyline Sun HeaterFrom ₹1,349 per unit, indicative
10. 10

    Multifunction speaker, the bumper prize

    Every lucky draw needs one last prize that makes the room cheer, and a multifunction speaker fits that slot without crossing into luxury. It sits in the ₹2,000 to ₹2,200 band. Present it in its box with a large card for the photo on stage. Keep one bumper prize per party, so it feels special.

    Example from our rangeThe Mood Station: 6-in-1 Multifunction SpeakerFrom ₹2,100 per unit, indicative

How much to budget for party giveaways

Here is an example for a party of 100 guests. Adjust the counts to your headcount and the number of games.

Per-unit bands are indicative product prices; branding, packaging, GST and delivery are added in your written quote. For more ideas by spend, browse gifts under ₹500 and gifts under ₹2,000.

How many should you order?

• Return gifts: confirmed headcount plus 5 to 10 percent for plus-ones, late RSVPs and the occasional breakage.
• Game prizes: count games × winners per game, then add two or three spares in case of ties.
• Lucky draw: fix the number in advance and announce it, so expectations match the stage.
• Children at a family party: count them separately and give them the cookies or a separate small item rather than a candle.

Branding party gifts without overdoing it

Party gifts are a thank-you, not merchandise. A printed tag or sticker with the party name and "Season's greetings 2026" is usually enough on return gifts. For prizes, a card from the leadership team works better than a logo on the product. Where you do want branding, printing suits notepads and sleeves, while engraving suits metal. Your quote confirms the method, minimum and placement for each item, with a mockup where available; customisation shows what each finish looks like.

Party timeline for December 2026

Christmas falls on Friday 25 December 2026. If your party is on Friday 18 December, work back from it like this:

1. By 20 November: fix the date, venue and expected headcount; list the games.
2. By 27 November: request a quote with the four lines, quantities, branding and the venue address.
3. First week of December: approve tags, cards and any mockups; confirm the final headcount.
4. Week of 14 December: gifts arrive at the office or venue two or three working days before the party, so you can count and sort them.
5. Party day: set return gifts by the exit, prizes in numbered bags behind the stage, and lucky draw prizes on a table in view.

This is a back-plan from the party date, not a delivery commitment; your quote sets the lead time for your quantities and venue city.

Delivery to venues and parties in several cities

We are based in Delhi NCR and deliver across India. If you hold parties in more than one office, list each party as its own delivery line in the quote request. For a venue, share the event manager's name, the loading entrance and the hours they accept deliveries, and check whether the venue will store boxes for a day or two. For multi-city parties, use the same giveaway list everywhere but swap climate-specific prizes, such as heaters, for something that suits warmer cities. Pack return gifts in counted cartons of 25 or 50 so each team lead can take a carton to their table.

Keeping the party inclusive

• Seasonal, not religious. Trees, candles, lights and warm drinks feel festive to everyone; keep devotional items out of giveaways.
• No alcohol as prizes. Non-drinkers should have the same chance to enjoy every prize.
• Label food. Note egg, nuts and other allergens, and keep a non-food return gift for those who need one.
• Plan for remote colleagues. Ship the return gift to people who join online, so they are part of the evening.
