Gifts That Give Back

Warm feet, a good cause, and the unexpected

The easiest addition to any onboarding box or Christmas gift.

“Nobody expects socks to be the gift they talk about. That is exactly why they are.”

A great pair of socks is the quiet hero of a gift box: practical, cozy, universally loved, and one size fits nearly everyone. Tuck a pair beside a welcome kit or a holiday box and it turns a nice gift into a thoughtful one.

These socks from Gifts for Good, a woman-owned Certified B Corporation, add one more layer: every pair supports a cause, and each comes with a story card that tells the recipient how.

Planning for Christmas?

Why “Donum”
dōnum
DOH-noom  ·  noun  ·  Latin
  1. A gift; a present.
  2. Something given freely, as an expression of goodwill or gratitude.
From the Latin verb dare, “to give.” It is the root of English words like donate and donor.
The story behind our name

Giving well is one of the oldest traditions there is

The Romans understood the power of a gift. At the turn of each new year they exchanged a strena, a gift carrying wishes of good fortune and health. When a guest arrived, they offered xenia, gifts to welcome a newcomer into the household.

Those two customs are exactly what corporate gifting is today: welcoming new people into your company, and marking the season with gratitude and good wishes.

We chose donum because it is the simplest, truest word for what we do. Not swag. Not a perk. A gift, given freely, chosen with care, and meant to be used.

Donum. A gift freely given.
About This Guide

Who is behind DonumGift, and how we choose

Curated by Suze, founder of DonumGift · Last updated October 2026

DonumGift is written by Suze, who has spent more than 15 years working in luxury retail and alongside HR professionals on employee wellness. She started this guide because companies kept asking the same question every onboarding season and every December: what can we give that people will actually use?

How we choose. Every gift here has to be practical, well made and easy for a company to order, whether for five people or five hundred. We favor gifts that work for remote and in-office employees alike, and companies that make ordering in quantity simple. Prices, minimums and lead times come from each company's own website and were checked when this page was last updated.

See our disclosures for details about our relationships with the companies featured here.
