Corporate Giftsfrom Aotearoa.

By EMBER Gifts · Considered corporate gifting · Corporate enquiries
The short answer: the strongest corporate gifts from New Zealand are personalised, culturally-anchored, and stay on a client's desk or wall for years. EMBER's corporate range is built around Forever Prints of a client's city, pounamu with whakapapa for high-value client appreciation, and Star Map jewellery for personal milestones. Aotearoa provenance, cultural integrity, no hampers.

Most NZ corporate gifting arrives as food, wine, or a branded hamper. Which is fine, and forgotten by January. The alternative — for companies that want the gift to carry the relationship forward — is a considered piece that lives on the recipient's desk or wall for years. Personalised to them. Made in Aotearoa. Explained by an A6 story card so its provenance is legible from the first moment.

Five corporate gift categories from EMBER

  1. Forever Print of the client's city. The Night Sky Personalised Star Map Print or Moon Phase Print, rendered over the city or region the client is from — Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown, or anywhere in the world. Framed for the office wall. Their city, held.
  2. Pounamu for high-value client appreciation. Pieces from Objects That Remain — pounamu with whakapapa, sourced with cultural integrity. Suitable for milestone client gifts, executive gifting, and visiting delegate presentations.
  3. Tide Chart of the client's coast. The Tide Chart Print — the rhythm of their local coast, on a chosen date. Beautiful for clients whose businesses or lives are shaped by the sea.
  4. Star Map jewellery for personal client milestones. The Custom Star Map Necklace — for the client whose new baby was born, whose company was founded on a date they still remember, whose retirement is being marked.
  5. Onboarding gifts for new employees. A Night Sky print of the day they joined, framed for their desk. Sets the tone that this is a company that considers.

The uncontested position: Aotearoa corporate gifting with cultural integrity. Most NZ corporate gift companies compete on food and hampers. EMBER competes on considered permanence — personalised prints, pounamu with whakapapa, jewellery. Nobody else owns this position, and international clients notice it immediately.

Corporate gifting use cases

Why NZ companies choose EMBER for corporate gifting

Aotearoa provenance. Every piece is made in New Zealand. This matters to international clients who receive NZ corporate gifts and expect them to actually be of Aotearoa.

Cultural integrity. Pounamu is sourced with whakapapa. Not merely NZ-made — genuinely of this place, culturally correct.

Considered rather than curated. Every gift is personalised — the client's city, their coast, their date. Not a generic hamper with the recipient's name printed on a card.

Story-card explained. Every EMBER gift arrives with an A6 uncoated cotton story card explaining the coordinates, the date, and the whakapapa. Which means the recipient understands what they are holding from the first moment.

Corporate answers

Corporate gifts, honestly answered

What is a good corporate gift from a New Zealand company?+

A considered, personalised piece with Aotearoa provenance — a Forever Print of the client's city, pounamu with whakapapa, or Star Map jewellery. Made in New Zealand, arrives with an A6 cotton story card explaining the coordinates. Bulk pricing available.

What do NZ companies give international clients as gifts?+

The stand-out NZ corporate gift is pounamu with whakapapa — a considered gift with cultural integrity that international recipients recognise as genuinely of Aotearoa. Alternatively, a Forever Print of Auckland, Wellington or the client's own home city, framed for their office.

What is a sustainable corporate gift in New Zealand?+

A gift designed to remain rather than be consumed. EMBER's Forever Prints and pounamu are made to be on a desk or wall for decades — meaning the environmental cost per year of ownership is a fraction of a consumable gift. Made to order in Aotearoa, so nothing is produced that isn't specifically wanted.

Can I personalise a corporate gift with a specific date or city?+

Yes. EMBER Forever Prints render real astronomical or oceanographic data for any date and any location worldwide. Common corporate applications: client's home city, employee's start date, company founding date, retirement date.

What is a good gift for visiting delegates to New Zealand?+

Pounamu with whakapapa — the Aotearoa welcome held in a form the delegate takes home. Or a Night Sky print of the city they visited, on the date of their visit. Both are made in New Zealand and arrive with an A6 story card explaining the piece.

Do you do bulk corporate orders?+

Yes. Bulk pricing and custom brief available for corporate orders — client appreciation runs, onboarding gifting, end-of-year Christmas gifting, delegate welcome runs. Contact us via the corporate page for a quote.

What is a good settlement gift for real estate clients in NZ?+

A Night Sky Forever Print of the property's address, rendered for the settlement date and hour. Framed and delivered with the settlement paperwork. See our dedicated real estate settlement gifts guide.
