Spring as the logical moment to be visible

As soon as the days get longer and the weather improves, everything starts moving again. People spend more time outdoors, make new plans and are open to fresh ideas. That makes spring a logical moment for organisations to come back into view. Not with a hard sales push, but with a thoughtful gesture that fits the season. A good spring gift doesn’t feel like advertising. It feels like attention. And that’s what makes the difference.

Why spring gifts work so well

In spring, people are simply more receptive. The mood is more positive, energy levels are higher and there’s more room for renewal. If you give something in that period that fits that feeling, it’s appreciated faster and remembered better. On top of that, spring gifts are often practical or fun to use. Think of something you can plant, something for on the go or something that stays on a desk. That way, your gift doesn’t disappear straight away but actually becomes part of someone’s day.

Sustainable and personal: a strong combination

More and more organisations consciously choose sustainable corporate gifts. Not just because it’s better for the planet, but also because it fits better with how companies want to position themselves. In spring, that works especially well. Growth-focused gifts such as flower bulbs, seed paper or seed bombs perfectly match the season. They’re nice to give, nice to receive and carry a clear message: growth, care and the future. Custom seed packets fit into this perfectly too. These are small seed sachets that you can fully personalise with your own design and logo. They’re easy to send, affordable in larger quantities and surprisingly personal. And they don’t end up unused in a drawer. They get planted, grow and stay visible.

Why custom seed packets are so popular

Custom seed packets aren’t one of the most popular spring gifts for nothing. They’re compact, lightweight and ideal for mailings or events. You can easily add them to a welcome pack for new colleagues, send them to customers or hand them out at a trade show. With your own design on the packet, you create something truly unique. And because people plant them at home, a nice follow-up moment is created after the gift is given. Every time someone sees the plant grow, your brand is remembered again. Simple, but strong brand visibility.

The moments they work best

Spring gifts are widely applicable. They work well as a thank-you for customers and partners, as a giveaway at trade shows and open days, as part of a mailing campaign or as a welcome gift for new employees. They also tie in nicely with moments like Earth Day, the start of a new project or simply as a seasonal greeting. By subtly adding your logo or message, the gift feels personal and sincere, not commercial or pushy.

Combine with something practical

Not everyone wants to plant something, and that’s perfectly fine. The best campaigns often combine a growth gift with something practical. Think of a reusable water bottle, a to-go cup, a cotton tote bag or a small notebook. That way, you give something that’s immediately useful and something that keeps growing over time. It makes your gift more versatile and increases the chance that it’s actually used.

Start planning in time

What many organisations underestimate is how quickly personalisation capacity fills up towards March and April. The products themselves are usually available, but to fully personalise them with your own design, you simply need some lead time. By planning ahead, you have more room for your design, your message and the right timing for your campaign. You avoid unnecessary rush and keep the freedom to create something truly nice. Less stress, and almost always a better end result.
