Corporate Gifts in Santa Barbara: Custom Towels, Blankets and Gift Sets

The best corporate gifts from Santa Barbara are useful, coastal and easy to share: Turkish towels, cotton throws, robes and local goods that people keep using long after the meeting or holiday party. The Riviera Towel Company in downtown Santa Barbara sells ready-made gifts for smaller lists, and our sister company RivieraGift.com creates custom logo towels, blankets, robes and totes for businesses. For anything branded, request a quote and a virtual at RivieraGift.com.

Here is how to choose the right corporate gift, whether you are thanking five clients or outfitting an entire company retreat.

What makes a good corporate gift?

A good corporate gift is something the recipient will actually use and associate with you in a positive way. Practical, good-looking textiles fit that brief better than most branded trinkets.

• Useful every day: towels, throws and robes get used at home, at the beach and on trips.
• Unisex and size-free: no guessing fits, which keeps team orders simple.
• Easy to ship: Turkish towels are light and fold flat.
• A sense of place: a Santa Barbara gift tells people where you are and why you love it here.
• A story to tell: our towels are hand-loomed from Turkish cotton in Turkey, and 5% of our net profits go to organizations that protect the ocean.

Should I choose ready-made gifts or custom logo gifts?

Choose ready-made gifts from rivieratowel.com for a short list or a last-minute thank-you, and choose custom logo products from RivieraGift.com when you want your brand woven, embroidered or printed on the gift.
