Corporate Executive Christmas Gift Ideas to Order Early

Anyone responsible for ordering corporate executive Christmas gifts will know that it’s often a stressful task. Shipping delays and a market saturated by mass-produced gifts make it hard to find something special, on time. 

We’re here to make your planning easier and better. All our handcrafted, Texas-made specialties are available on pre-order, so that you can relax when that frantic holiday season hits. Getting your order in early means you can make bulk orders and stick to your budget and inventory planning demands. 

Stuck for ideas? Let’s take a look at some of our favorite Corporate Executive Christmas Gift Ideas that are truly Texan!

Six Things to Look for in a Corporate Executive Christmas Gift

Here are a few pointers to get you started:

1. Quality and Thoughtfulness

Impressing a corporate executive means showing that you took some care to treat them well. While most people will opt for boring, mass-produced baskets that are ‘easy’, you can go a step further.

We recommend valuing quality and uniqueness. Think outside the box. As a presumably Texan reader, we suggest tapping into their love for the state with something authentically Texan. 

We also suggest opting for boutique or independent businesses to ensure you receive the handcrafted quality. This is not a quick Amazon Prime order situation, folks. 

2. Personalization

Generic gift boxes tend to get consumed, then thrown out. Your impact quickly gets forgotten, reducing your chances of ongoing business relations.

Break that mold. Make it customized so that they want to keep it in their office. For example, at Goode Co. Shop, you can get custom fire-branded lids and custom inserts. So whether you put their logo or a personalized message, you’re connecting on a more direct level. 

3. Southern Charm

If you’re looking to please a Texan, then keep it authentically Texan. People can see through a fake attempt at Texan culture when it's right before their eyes. 

Goode Co. Shop is the online store for our restaurant that has been serving up true Texan barbeques since 1977. Found in the heart of Houston, we carry the best values of our state in every order, from Brisket to Brazos Bottom Pecan Pies.

4. Practical Indulgence

Finally, make it practical. Gift boxes are always a hit because of this. They contain multiple items in a storable fashion that are easy to ship in bulk. You’ll make your Christmas and recipients far easier this way. 

5. Why It’s Wise to Order Early

The holiday rush is often a nightmare. Delays from major carriers and last-minute inventory shortages can leave you looking foolish when your corporate contacts are left empty-handed. 

By ordering early, you’ll lock in our availability, avoid last-minute shipping fees, and best of all, gain some peace of mind. You’ll also get time for some nice customization, which is far harder to order when there are only a few weeks until Christmas. 

6. Think in Tiers

If you’re going to be gifting multiple executives, you might need to break your gift ordering down into tiers. We recommend top-tier clients receive high-impact boxes such as our Pure Texas Gift set. Lower-level contacts can receive pralines, reducing your costs but still showing care with a super-tasty gift.

If you’re not looking to order in bulk, you could also treat the meat lover in the company with a meat pack such as a brisket, ribs, or sausage sampler. 

Luxury Corporate Christmas Gift Ideas from Goode Co. Shop

The Pure Texas Gift Box

Connect with a corporate executive’s love of Texas with our ‘Pure Texas Gift Box’. Packed in an elegant pine wood box, it’s a slice of heaven for any Texas patriot (and lover of rich pecans). 

The main event is an 8-inch version of our organic Texas Brazos Pecan Pie, but they’ll also receive a miniature Texas flag and two bags of Honey Glazed and Roasted Salted Pecans.

All items are carefully enclosed within a fire-branded pine gift box as an additional keepsake, so your recipient keeps your efforts in mind for years to come. 

Texas Style Coffee Gift Box

Here’s a slightly different twist. For any coffee-loving executive, you can give them this guilty pleasure gift box featuring a hearty bag of rich, aromatic coffee beans. The ‘Texas Coffee Box’ pairs perfectly with our classic Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie (which is very gooey, so it requires a drink to wash it down). As with all our gift boxes, it comes in a fire-branded pine box. 

Goode Co. Shop’s Four Spice Gift Box

Do you know some corporate executives who consider themselves grill masters? Our ‘Four Spice Gift Box’ is made for them. It features large bottles of our founder Jim Goode’s special blends of dry species, including brisket, poultry, and ribs rubs, and a mesquite mix. Delicious. 

Assorted Praline Delight Gift Boxes

These are not your average praline patties. These are big Texas-sized pralines, rich in sweet flavor that require slow eating. Each piece is individually wrapped and carefully enclosed in a pine fire-branded box as a keepsake. 

You have the choice of a box featuring six original pralines or a box with three original and three chewy varieties. 

BBQ Gift Sets For Executives

Finally, here’s an option to either feed the whole team or impress that executive who’s a huge BBQ fan. 

Our Texas barbeque packs are stacked with meats and original barbeque sauces that can be thrown on the grill at home. These meats have been smoked low and slow over mesquite wood (the true Texas way) for up to 16 hours! We’ve got big packs such as the ‘The Pride of Sam Houston’ that contain huge brisket and authentic ribs, or smaller packs such as our Texas Sausage Sampler with Jalapeno Cheese Bread!

All our meats are smoked in-house and then vacuum-sealed for freshness! This makes them ideal for gifting and enjoying later, rather than rushing around Christmas. Every pack includes reheating instructions and serving suggestions. 

How To Customize Your BBQ Gift Sets For Executives

Customizing your luxury corporate Christmas gift with Goode Co. Shop is easy and perfect for bulk orders. We call you to add a personal touch to an already thoughtful gesture by fully customizing the slides of our fire-branded wooden gift boxes. For example, you can add your company logo or a special message. 

For just $1, you can also add your own personal stationery or holiday card. These act as keepsakes, reminding them of the respect you showed. 

As Christmas is a busy time and our gift boxes are hand-crafted, we recommend advance orders (especially when in bulk). Here is our production time and shipping information:  

  • Custom fire-branded pine lids: 6 weeks
  • Custom inserts: 3-4 weeks
  • Standard bulk orders: 1-2 weeks
