Corporate Gifts – the art of giving
Shouldn’t a corporate gift should not be corporate at all ! I mean gifts are from people and to people…brands don’t give gifts and people are not brands ! We in MSTONES like to think that we extend our personal passions in gift form to our clients and customers . A “corporate” gift reflects the passions of a set of people that come together through the art of giving to connect to people. So maybe we need to lost the word corporate and say it as it as ” a gift from us ” That is exactly what MYSTONES are doing! A stone is a stone but a stone has it’s own character and feel just like we as people have as individuals ….a stone can be held, felt and yet can be silent and always there …..and hopefully we as people want to be supportive professionals like the stones MYSTONES are…strong…. Irish, sincere and unique and maybe a bit edge and funny as well!
There is something special about a gift that comes from Irish soil, handled by Irish hands, design created by Irish artists, Irish citizen that pack your stone……that’s a traditional Irish process of taking something from nature, honouring it’s origins from nature, linking it to our Celtic past with many of our designs originating from this special time in our past and passing this special natural gift to friends, colleagues and clients. That’s the true meaning of a corporate gift ! ….at least that’s our philosophy and ethos. We think it is not necessarily about putting a logo on something that will identify your passions and message to the world.
Corporate Logos
look great in certain contexts but we ask our clients to reflect on what other possibilities for a message would they consider on a stone. Keep it simple…… Some of our conversations with clients have come up with words that reflect a feeling behind the partnership that they have with their clients for example one client were brave enough to put the word Beauty engraved on a stone which their clients just loved at a professional and personal level. It is a supplier dealing with a fashion brand. Beauty made sense! It was real ! Another organisation distributed stones with the word Love engraved……they were brave ..but their clients were those who were just experienced a breaveremet. Let’s keep our ” corporate ” gifts as meaningful gifts that a CEO or HR or whoever gives them is offering them as memorable meaningful or fun gifts that enhance the live of the giver and the receiver.
It is not about showing a logo or giving an object that everyone wonders what to do with it ! but instead creating a gift that will give meaning and pleasure to folks be clients or employees. We can all do better we think with the concept of the art of giving. Can we be more imaginative, more daring with our choice of corporate gifts. Behind every corporate gift there is imagination, creativity, beliefs , interests. Tell us what they are and MYSTONES will explore possibilities for your company to extend gifts that your clients will want to share outside the corporate context ! Because we bring our lives home with us after work so to can we bring our reactions to lovely gifts home with us. Doesn’t that really mean that the gifting is about gifts for life ……not just gifts for part of the day…part of one’s life !

Consider a beautiful Irish natural engraved stone for your clients that can be placed in a person’s pocket or bag to remind them of who you are, what kind of values and experience you offer or the humour that you shared with them ……they will remember you …..Consider one word …on special word that really captures your company’s imagination ….we can help…..the art of giving
Our stone has been around for millions of years …it symbolises strength, longevity….it is the perfect foundation to carry your message…..hold, feel and enjoy MYSTONES……

I’ve actually been looking for some corporate gifts to be able to offer. I found this post very interesting, especially because when I was a teenager, a leader in my church gave me a rock with a statement imprinted on it so that I could carry it in my pocket to remember who I am and what I stand for. This would be such a neat idea that I could also offer. Thanks for sharing this.
Hello Kyler,
Firstly thanks for getting in touch. Greetings from sunny Ireland, I hope all is well down there?
One of the strengths of our gifts is that they are stone and therefore long lasting. This is one reason why they have been popular as corporate gifts & school graduation gifts – a natural, strong gift that does not age and stays true.
Enjoy!
Liam
