When Canal+ was looking for a gift to celebrate HR Day, the goal wasn’t to order yet another corporate giveaway. The idea was to create a gift that aligned with the organization’s culture, would have real value for the team, and would stand out from standard corporate gifts.
A gift that went above and beyond
We produced 41 hand-thrown ceramic mugs with a capacity of 250 ml for Canal+. The mugs were made in two shapes—cylindrical and barrel-shaped—and feature a light color palette including shades of beige, blue, and pink.
The most important element of the project, however, was the personalized slogans, which reflected the team’s day-to-day work, sense of humor, and the organization’s internal lingo.
From prototype to finished product
Before production began, we prepared a prototype and color options. Once the design was approved, the entire batch of mugs—made specifically for HR Day—was produced within two weeks.
Effect
Instead of a standard gift from a catalog, the team received a limited edition set of handcrafted mugs designed specifically for them. The combination of craftsmanship, everyday functionality, and personalization made the gift more than just a classic logo-branded item.
Why are handmade ceramics a good choice for corporate gifts?
The best corporate gifts are those that are used every day. A mug is there for morning coffee, work at the desk, and online meetings, so it stays with the user much longer than most standard promotional items.
When it comes to handmade ceramics, there’s one more important aspect—each piece is one-of-a-kind. It’s this authenticity that makes the gift feel more personal and ensures it’s remembered long after the event is over.
