Personalised year-end gifts are presents finished to measure with a logo, name, personal message or elements of your house style, often combined with local Belgian products. Personalised year-end gifts show more thought than a standard pack and stay with employees, customers and partners for longer. At Maximum Image, we have been personalising year-end gifts for Belgian businesses for almost twenty years, with fulfilment per person right to the recipient’s front door.

On this page, you’ll read exactly what personalised year-end gifts are, how to personalise them in Belgium, which local products are suitable and how we organise delivery per person.

What are personalised year-end gifts?

Personalised year-end gifts are presents finished to measure with your logo, a name, a personal message, a card or packaging in your house style. They are often used as a corporate gift for staff, customers or partners to show appreciation at the end of the year.

The difference between personalised year-end gifts and standard year-end gifts lies in the finishing and the attention to detail. With a logo, a name and a personal message added, it becomes a gift the recipient immediately recognises as something put together especially for them.

At Maximum Image, we notice that the level of personalisation makes the difference between ‘something for the team’ and ‘something for me’. A name on a water bottle, a card with a shared memory or an engraved initial costs little and is remembered for years.

How do you personalise year-end gifts in Belgium?

The best way to personalise year-end gifts in Belgium is through a local partner who can take care of the product, the personalisation technique and the delivery. Printing, embroidery, engraving, weaving and sublimation are the most commonly used techniques.

The right technique depends on the product and the design. Printing works well for crisp logos on flat surfaces, embroidery gives textiles a premium look, engraving suits metal and wooden items, and sublimation works for all-over prints.

A good personalisation process starts with a briefing, followed by a digital mock-up, a proof and only then production.

Which Belgian products work as personalised year-end gifts?

Belgian products that work well as personalised year-end gifts include local chocolate, artisan biscuits, regional beers, candles, water bottles, socks, textile items and packs put together with Belgian makers.

For consumables such as chocolate or beer, the personalisation is usually on the packaging: a band, a sleeve or a card in your house style with a personal message. For textiles and accessories, we can print, embroider or engrave the product itself.

A Belgian angle works especially well with international customers and partners. See also our page on year-end gifts for customers for more inspiration.

How do you have personalised year-end gifts delivered in Belgium?

You can have personalised year-end gifts in Belgium delivered through a fulfilment partner who can ship per person, or in bulk to one central address. For hybrid teams and customers spread across different locations, individual shipping is often more practical.

At Maximum Image, we organise fulfilment per employee or customer. You provide a list of names, addresses and, if you like, a personal message; we take care of the personalisation per person and ship everything out on the same day.

What is the minimum order for personalised year-end gifts?

The minimum quantity for personalised year-end gifts depends on the product and the technique. For textiles and accessories, our minimums are often around 50 to 100 pieces; for food packs and smaller items, lower quantities may be possible.

With larger runs, the price per piece usually drops considerably, because the set-up costs of the personalisation techniques are spread over more pieces.
