Corporate gifts in Singapore range from branded merchandise for staff and events to festive hampers for clients at Christmas, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali. For a bulk or branded order, a supplier sources the items, applies your logo or message, packs them and delivers to one address or many. What you get, and what it costs, depends mostly on quantity, the branding method and how much time you leave. For Chinese New Year 2027, bespoke orders should be confirmed by late November 2026, and Christmas orders for branded items should already be under way.

## What corporate gift suppliers offer

Suppliers tend to specialise, so match the request to the type of gift you want.

### Branded merchandise

- Everyday items with your logo: pens, notebooks, tote bags, drinkware, umbrellas, lanyards and tech accessories
- Small custom-made items: patches, pins, keychains, magnets and luggage tags
- Apparel such as T-shirts, polo shirts and caps for teams and events
- Welcome kits for new joiners and event packs for conferences

### Festive gifts and hampers

- Christmas and year-end hampers, often with food, wine or snacks
- Chinese New Year hampers and gift boxes, usually in red and gold packaging
- Hari Raya and Deepavali gift sets
- Gift cards and curated boxes for staff appreciation

### Bespoke and premium gifts

- Items designed from scratch in your brand colours or with your artwork
- Engraved or debossed premium items such as leather goods or metal pieces
- Branded packaging: sleeves, gift boxes, card inserts and ribbons

### Services around the gift

- Design proofs and mock-ups before production
- Individual packing, personalised name cards and message inserts
- Delivery to many addresses, including overseas offices

## Common printing and branding methods

Ask which method suits your item, because it affects MOQ, price and lead time.

- **Screen printing.** Ink pushed through a stencil, suited to fabric and flat items with a few solid colours.
- **Digital or UV printing.** Full-colour printing directly on to the item, useful for detailed logos and short runs.
- **Embroidery.** Stitched logos on apparel, caps and bags. Prices usually rise with stitch count and size.
- **Laser engraving.** A permanent mark on metal, wood, glass or some plastics, with no ink.
- **Debossing or embossing.** A pressed logo on leather, paper or card for a premium look.
- **Heat transfer.** A printed transfer applied with heat, often used for full-colour designs on fabric.
- **Branded packaging.** A logo on the box, sleeve or insert, which lets you keep a ready-made gift but still brand it.

Always ask for a digital proof showing the logo size, colour and position before production starts.

## Costs, MOQs and lead times in Singapore

There is no standard price list across the market, because the item, quantity and branding change everything. From supplier pages we checked in October 2026:

- One Singapore supplier's price guide lists custom embroidered patches at S$160 for 20 pieces and PVC patches at S$300 for 30 pieces or S$700 for 100. The same supplier's budget guide places branded logo pens at about S$2 each on a 200-piece minimum.
- Another supplier publishes a minimum of 500 units and a lead time of 8 to 10 weeks for bespoke designs, with smaller minimums for ready-made items.
- Small custom items took about 2 weeks from approved proof to delivery on one supplier's page, and about 4 weeks for PVC items.

These figures come from suppliers' own websites and are examples, not quotes. The main cost drivers are:

- **Quantity.** Unit prices usually fall as quantity rises, and small runs may carry a minimum charge.
- **Branding method and colours.** Full-colour, multiple positions or large embroidery cost more.
- **Bespoke versus ready-made.** New designs, moulds and custom packaging add cost and time.
- **Hamper contents.** Wine, premium food and branded packaging push the price per hamper up.
- **Packing and delivery.** Individual packing, name cards and delivery to many addresses are often charged separately.
- **GST.** Check whether quotes include the 9% GST.

### Year-end and Chinese New Year timing

Christmas Day is Friday 25 December 2026, and Chinese New Year falls on [6 and 7 February 2027](https://www.mom.gov.sg/employment-practices/public-holidays). One supplier recommends confirming artwork 6 to 8 weeks before a dated event and does not offer rush production. Another publishes 8 to 10 weeks for bespoke designs. Working back from those figures:

- **Christmas and year-end gifts:** for branded items, confirm artwork in late October or early November 2026.
- **Chinese New Year gifts arriving a week early:** confirm bespoke designs by late November 2026, and simpler branded items by early to mid December.

Suppliers' last order dates before festive periods vary, so ask each one. If you miss them, a ready-made gift with branded packaging is a safer choice.

## Gift rules buyers should know

Corporate gifting is legal and common in Singapore, but some recipients are bound by gift rules.

### Gifts to public officers

The Ministry of Finance has stated that [public officers must decline gifts](https://www.mof.gov.sg/news-resources/newsroom/public-officers-governed-by-code-of-conduct-and-discipline/) offered in the course of their work, and must immediately declare a gift to their supervisor if refusing would be impractical or inappropriate. Agencies may have stricter codes of their own. If your client list includes government agencies, ask your contact what their agency allows before sending anything.

### Gifts and corruption (CPIB)

CPIB's [guidance on gifts](https://www.cpib.gov.sg/faq/corruption-related/) says giving a genuine gift without corrupt intention is not in itself corruption. A gift can become an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act if it is given secretly to win an advantage at the expense of the recipient's employer. CPIB suggests being open with the recipient's employer when you give gifts to someone you deal with officially. Avoid timing expensive gifts around a tender or contract decision.

Many companies also have their own gift limits, so modest, clearly branded gifts sent openly to the organisation tend to cause the fewest problems.

## How to choose a corporate gift supplier

Look for a supplier that can show you a proof, a sample and a delivery plan that fits your date.

Questions to ask:

1. What is the MOQ for this exact item and branding method?
2. What is the lead time from approved proof to delivery, and what is your last order date for Christmas and Chinese New Year?
3. Can we see a physical sample or a previous order before we confirm?
4. Is the quote inclusive of branding, setup, packaging, delivery and GST?
5. Can you pack individually and deliver to several addresses, including overseas offices?
6. What happens if items arrive damaged, short or with a misprinted logo?
7. Which items are made to order, and which are in stock in Singapore?
8. What deposit do you need, and when is the balance due?

If you are also planning a year-end event, you can request [corporate event companies](/find/corporate-event-companies/) separately.

## Red flags

- A low unit price with setup, branding or delivery hidden until later
- No digital proof before production
- Vague lead times or no clear last order date before the festive period
- Unwilling to provide a sample for a large order
- No written terms for defects, short shipments or late delivery
- Full payment demanded upfront for a first, large custom order
- Promises of very short lead times for bespoke items during the pre-CNY rush

## Frequently asked questions

### How does matching work?

You describe your order: the occasion, quantity, budget per person, branding and delivery date. A concierge then contacts you to confirm the details and, with your consent, introduces you to the number you choose (one to five) of corporate gift suppliers that handle that kind of order. They contact you directly, and you decide whether to go ahead with any of them.

### Is it free?

Yes. It is free for businesses requesting a match. Suppliers pay FYAdvisers to receive matched requests. FYAdvisers does not sell or make gifts itself.

### How early should we order corporate gifts for Chinese New Year 2027?

Chinese New Year falls on 6 and 7 February 2027. One supplier publishes an 8 to 10 week lead time for bespoke designs, so if gifts should arrive a week before the holiday, confirm bespoke orders by late November 2026. Simpler branded items have shorter lead times, but suppliers get busy before festive periods, so ask each one for its last order date.

### What is a typical minimum order quantity?

It depends on the item and method. Small branded items such as patches can start from 20 to 30 pieces on one supplier's published price list, while another supplier publishes a 500-unit minimum for fully bespoke designs. Ask each supplier for the MOQ of the exact item and branding method you want.

### Can we send gifts to public officers or clients' staff?

Be careful. Singapore public officers are expected to decline gifts offered in the course of their work, or declare them if refusing is impractical. CPIB says a genuine gift without corrupt intent is not in itself corruption, and suggests being open with the recipient's employer. Check the recipient organisation's own gift policy.
