Thanksgiving Is The New Christmas For Gift-giving!

By: Mark Yokoyama Home | Business | Marketing


Typically, Christmas is the number one holiday for exchanging gifts. People search high and low for the perfect gift to give to a loved one, but they also expect to receive gifts as well. This is why most companies distribute gifts to employees and customers during the Christmas season. However, in recent years, more businesses have begun to give gifts during Thanksgiving instead of Christmas. Here are some good reasons why your company should consider doing the same.

  • Unlike Christmas, Thanksgiving is a neutral, non-denominational holiday that is appropriate for a culturally diverse workforce. Instead of alienating certain employees by choosing a holiday affiliated with religion, giving gifts during Thanksgiving will ensure that everybody is on equal footing. Staff members that don't celebrate Christmas will especially appreciate your consideration of their beliefs.


  • As we all know, Christmas is a notoriously difficult time to go shopping. However, Thanksgiving offers the benefit of coming before the holiday gift rush, making it easier for employers to secure gifts without needing to worry about backordered or out-of-stock products. During the Christmas season, people rush to local malls and deplete warehouse inventories faster than any other time during the year, making it extremely difficult (and stressful) to find proper gifts, and even harder to find many of them for a staff of employees. By giving gifts out during Thanksgiving, you can avoid these obstacles and make sure your transactions go as smoothly as possible.


  • Showing appreciation for your employees' efforts with a thoughtful gift during Thanksgiving will keep them motivated and working hard through the end of the year. Because tends to decline as the holiday season approaches, it's important that your company counteracts this slowdown. Giving a valuable gift during Thanksgiving will provide employees with an extra boost of motivation that will keep them going strong through the New Year.


  • Giving customers and employees gifts during Thanksgiving just makes sense. It's a festive time of year when people gather with their loved ones and find things to be grateful for. There are plenty of good reasons to use Thanksgiving when it comes to holiday gift giving, but neutrality, convenience, and employee motivation are atop the list. Make the switch this year and your business will reap the rewards of this holiday of appreciation.
