Employee holiday gifts
Give every team member a branded deck for family game nights over the break. Playing cards suit every age and taste, so one gift works for the whole company.

Why do custom playing cards make good corporate holiday gifts?
Custom playing cards make good corporate holiday gifts because they get used during exactly the season they arrive: family game nights, long weekends at home and holiday travel. A branded deck from Get Custom Playing Cards lands on the kitchen table in December and stays in the drawer for years, which is far longer than most seasonal gifts last.
Decks also solve the practical problems that make holiday gifting stressful. They are light and flat, so they ship easily to remote employees and out-of-town clients. They suit almost every recipient regardless of age, diet or taste, which rules out the guesswork of food baskets and apparel sizes. And a deck feels personal when the backs, faces or tuck box carry your company story instead of a generic logo stamp.
- Used during the holidays, kept long after
- Easy to mail, easy to tuck into a larger gift box
- One gift that works for staff, clients and partners
- Room for a seasonal message on the box or a joker card
Which deck style is best for a holiday gift: promotional, fully custom or plastic?
The best holiday gift deck depends on who receives it. Promotional playing cards, with your branded back and standard faces, suit wide employee and customer lists. Fully custom card decks, where every card can carry your artwork, suit top clients and leadership gifts. Plastic playing cards suit recipients who play often and deserve a deck that lasts.
| Deck style | Best holiday recipient | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Promotional deck | All employees, broad customer list | Branded back and box with classic faces; quick to design and approve |
| Fully custom deck | Key clients, board members, partners | Every card can show your team, products or milestones from the year |
| Plastic deck | Frequent players, premium client gifts | Waterproof and washable cards that survive years of holiday games |
| Custom poker deck | Teams with a poker night tradition | Familiar casino feel, pairs well with a holiday party game table |
Many companies order two versions in one season: a promotional deck for the wide list and a fully custom deck for the people who matter most. Get Custom Playing Cards can mock up both from the same artwork so the family of gifts looks consistent.
What should a holiday deck say on the cards and the tuck box?
A holiday deck should carry your brand on the card backs and a seasonal message on the tuck box or a joker card, so the cards stay usable all year while the packaging marks the occasion. Keep the backs timeless, and put the greeting, the year or a thank-you line where it frames the gift without dating every card.
Good places for holiday copy include:
- Tuck box front: logo plus a short line such as a season’s greeting or a thank-you
- Tuck box back or flap: a note from leadership, your website or a QR code
- Jokers: a seasonal illustration, the company mascot or a year-in-review moment
- Court cards on a fully custom deck: team members, product lines or office locations
If you send gifts to clients across different faiths and cultures, a neutral season’s greeting or a simple thank-you reads well for everyone. Our custom tuck boxes page covers box styles and finishing options that make the unboxing feel like a real gift.
When should you order custom playing cards for holiday gifts?
Order custom playing cards for holiday gifts as early as you can, and plan backward from the date the decks must be in recipients’ hands. Get Custom Playing Cards returns a free mockup within 24 hours, and standard turnaround is about 2 weeks after you approve the design, with faster turnaround available with express shipping.
The production run is rarely the slow part. Internal approvals are. Holiday gifts often need sign-off from marketing, leadership and sometimes legal, and those reviewers are busiest at year end. A simple backward plan helps:
- Pick your mail-by or hand-out date for the holiday gifts.
- Step back about 2 weeks for production and add shipping time.
- Leave a buffer for internal review and any mockup revisions.
- Request the mockup before that point so revisions never squeeze production.
Carrier networks get crowded in late November and December, so building in extra delivery time protects the gift from arriving after the holiday break starts.
How many holiday gift decks should a company order?
A company should order one holiday gift deck per recipient on its final list plus a small cushion for late additions, new hires and replacements. Get Custom Playing Cards prints from a minimum of 12 decks, so a small office, a single department or a short list of top clients can order without overbuying.
Build the list in groups before requesting a quote: employees, clients, partners and vendors. Each group may get a different deck style, and splitting it early makes the quote more accurate. Spare decks are useful in January too, for client visits, new-hire welcome kits and the first trade show of the year. For a deeper walk-through, read how many custom playing cards to order.
How do you make a deck feel like a gift and not office swag?
A deck feels like a gift when the design is about the recipient and the year you shared, not only your logo. Fully custom card decks from Get Custom Playing Cards let you replace standard faces with your own artwork, so the cards can tell the story of a client partnership, a company milestone or a team’s year.
- Use a refined back design with a subtle logo rather than a loud ad
- Choose a quality tuck box and finish so the deck looks giftable on its own
- Pair the deck with a handwritten note or a family game suggestion
- For VIPs, consider plastic playing cards that last for years of holiday games
Gifts that people use with family carry your name into homes in a warm context. That is the moment a branded deck stops being swag and becomes a keepsake.

Custom playing cards for corporate holiday gift programs, answered.
Can custom playing cards include a holiday greeting from our CEO?
Custom playing cards can carry a CEO greeting on the tuck box back, on an insert-style joker card or on the box flap. Get Custom Playing Cards places the message in the free mockup within 24 hours, so leadership can read the exact wording in context and request changes before anything prints. Short notes of a sentence or two fit best and stay readable.
Should holiday gift decks avoid the year on every card?
Holiday gift decks usually look best when the year appears only on the tuck box or a joker. Keeping dates off the card backs lets recipients use the playing cards for years without them feeling outdated. Get Custom Playing Cards can show both versions in a mockup, so you can compare a dated box against timeless backs before you approve.
Are custom playing cards appropriate for clients who celebrate different holidays?
Custom playing cards are one of the most inclusive holiday gifts because games are enjoyed across cultures and faiths. Pair the deck with a neutral season's greeting or a simple thank-you on the tuck box rather than a specific holiday. Get Custom Playing Cards can prepare a mockup with neutral wording so your whole client list receives one consistent gift.
Can we mail holiday playing cards straight to remote employees?
Holiday playing cards are light and compact, which makes them practical to send to remote employees at home. Share your shipping needs on the quote form and Get Custom Playing Cards will explain the delivery options for your order. Collecting addresses early helps, since a complete list keeps the gift arriving before the holiday break begins.
Can a holiday deck feature photos from our company year?
A fully custom holiday deck can feature product shots, office scenes or milestone images from your company year across the card faces. Get Custom Playing Cards lays out each photo in the free mockup so you can check cropping and readability. Send the highest-resolution files you have, since sharp images matter more on small playing card faces.
Do holiday playing card gifts work alongside food or wine in a gift box?
Holiday playing card gifts pair well with snacks, wine or treats because a tuck-boxed deck is slim enough to slip into almost any gift box. The cards stay useful long after the food is gone. Get Custom Playing Cards can design the tuck box to match your gift box colors, so the whole package reads as one branded holiday present.
Can we order holiday decks for employees and clients in one order?
Holiday decks for employees and clients can be planned together, with a promotional design for staff and a fully custom design for top clients. Get Custom Playing Cards mocks up both from your shared artwork so the gifts feel related. Tell us the count for each group on the quote form, and remember the minimum of 12 applies to each design.
What makes a holiday playing card deck feel premium?
A premium holiday playing card deck combines a restrained back design, quality card stock or plastic and a finished tuck box that looks like a gift on its own. Get Custom Playing Cards can suggest finishing choices in the mockup. Fully custom faces add a personal touch, and a short handwritten note in the package completes the experience.
Is a custom deck a good holiday gift for a small business to send customers?
A custom deck is a strong holiday gift for a small business because the minimum order is only 12, so even a short list of loyal customers is easy to cover. Get Custom Playing Cards prints your shop logo and a thank-you on the box. Customers play with the cards at family gatherings, which keeps your business in mind into the new year.
Can holiday playing cards include a QR code for a seasonal offer?
Holiday playing cards can include a QR code on the tuck box or a joker card that links to a seasonal offer, a thank-you video or your website. Get Custom Playing Cards places the code in the mockup so you can test it with a phone before approving. Point the code at a page you control so the link keeps working after the holidays.
How should a team approve a holiday deck design quickly at year end?
A team can approve a holiday deck quickly by naming one decision-maker and collecting all feedback in a single round. Get Custom Playing Cards returns a free mockup within 24 hours and revisions are unlimited, but each round adds days. Share the mockup with reviewers at once, consolidate comments, and send one clear set of changes.
Can holiday gift decks be personalized with each recipient's name?
Holiday gift decks can be personalized in several ways, such as a separate design per department or a named box for a short VIP list. Explain the personalization you want on the quote form, and Get Custom Playing Cards will confirm what is practical for your quantity. Each separate design is mocked up so you can review it before printing.
Are plastic playing cards worth choosing for a holiday client gift?
Plastic playing cards are a thoughtful holiday client gift because they resist spills, bending and wear during years of family games. They feel more substantial than paper, which suits a premium thank-you. Get Custom Playing Cards prints plastic decks with your full-color design, and many companies reserve them for top accounts while giving paper decks to the wider list.
Can leftover holiday decks be used after the season ends?
Leftover holiday decks stay useful when the seasonal message lives on the tuck box and the card backs carry only your brand. Spare playing cards work well for new-hire kits, client visits and early-year events. Get Custom Playing Cards can design a timeless back for exactly this reason, so no deck from your holiday order goes to waste.
What should we tell Get Custom Playing Cards when requesting a holiday quote?
A holiday quote request should include your recipient count, preferred deck style, any artwork files, the message for the box and the date gifts must arrive. Get Custom Playing Cards uses those details to prepare an accurate quote and a free mockup within 24 hours. Mentioning the holiday deadline up front helps plan production and shipping together.
Can a holiday deck double as a game for our company party?
A holiday deck can double as the card game supply for your company party, then go home with each guest as a keepsake. Set branded playing cards on the tables for games during the event. Get Custom Playing Cards can match the deck to your party theme, and the same design works afterward as an everyday gift for staff.
