A good employee or client holiday gift arrives ready to give: one bottle in a gift box, followed by a thank-you in your own words. For clients and team members 21+, that is a thoughtful thank-you that asks nothing of them. For anyone who prefers to choose, a gift card does the same job. Sending to a group? Start on our Corporate Gifts page, where our gifting team can ship each gift straight to its recipient. Below are the ready-to-order ONEHOPE Wine gifts we would send, plus the etiquette and planning that keep a gift welcome.
Choosing a Gift for Clients and Team Members 21+
- Make it a thank-you. A client gift closes the year. It is not a pitch, so keep sales material out of it.
- Keep it personal. One line about the year you shared does more than a printed card.
- Match the wine to the person. Our Classic gifts let you pick the wine for each recipient. A gift card lets them pick for themselves.
- Remember that not everyone drinks wine. For those team members, our gifting team can often swap the wine for a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling tea.
For employee Christmas gifts, consistency matters more than size. Give every team member the same gift, or the same choice, so nobody compares boxes. A note from their manager that names one thing they did well this year makes it personal. Saying goodbye to a colleague? See our gifts for a colleague who is leaving.
Christmas gifts for clients can be more individual. Think about who they are, not only what they buy from you. A client who hosts often may enjoy a sparkling bottle to open with guests. One who enjoys a red with dinner may prefer the Reserve Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon below. Thanking a client in spring or summer? See our ideas for client gifts the rest of the year.
Gift Etiquette for Clients
Ask about gift policies first. Many companies limit what their staff may accept from partners. A quick, friendly question saves an awkward return.
Ask where to send it. Offices can sit empty in late December, and an adult must sign for wine. A home address is often the better choice, if the client is happy to share it.
Treat similar clients alike. Sending the same gift to clients in similar roles keeps things simple and fair.
Write the thank-you yourself, in a card or an email of your own. That personal note is the part people remember.
Ready-to-Order Wine Gifts
Our Classic Vintner, Reserve and Shimmer gifts arrive in a magnetic gift box with gold foil ONEHOPE branding. They need no wrapping when the list runs long.
The Classic Vintner Wine Gift lets you choose the Vintner wine for the box. The Vintner Chardonnay brings green apple, bright citrus and vanilla. The Vintner Sauvignon Blanc leans brighter, with lime, guava and star fruit.
The Classic Reserve Wine Gift holds a bottle from our Reserve wines. For a client who enjoys red, choose the Reserve Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of dried herbs, vanilla and chocolate.
The Classic Shimmer Wine Gift pairs the same box with a Shimmer bottle of California sparkling wine. Choose from three Shimmer bottles. The Gold Shimmer Brut carries notes of green apple, luscious pear and tropical aromas.
The Classic Etched Shimmer Wine Gift puts the message on the bottle itself. Each gift holds one etched Gold Shimmer, gift boxed, and you choose the design. Thankful for You says it plainly to a client. Happy Holidays suits a whole team. Cheers to You marks a year of good work. See how our wine gifts give back.
The ONEHOPE Digital Gift Card lets the recipient choose. You can personalize it with a gift note, and it works toward any wine or gift box online. It is not valid at the winery.
Building Your Recipient List
Start with a simple sheet: name, delivery address and the gift each person gets. Then check three things before you send it.
Age and signature. Recipients must be 21 or over, and an adult signature (21+) is required at delivery. Choose an address where someone 21 or older will be there to sign.
Where we ship. We ship wine to 47 states and Washington, DC. State laws prevent us from shipping wine to Delaware, Rhode Island or Utah. Plan a different gift for anyone there.
Timing. For the 2026 holidays, order by December 15 for ground shipping or by December 22 for express shipping. For a large list, ask our gifting team about timing when you send it.
For many recipients, send the finished list through the Corporate Gifts page or to gifting@onehopewine.com. Our team ships each gift directly, so nothing lands on your desk first.
Custom Options
Some teams want a gift made just for them. Custom options take extra production time, so ask our gifting team what they can still make for your list this season. If time is short, the ready-to-order gifts above ship as they are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can gifts ship to each recipient?
Yes. Send your recipient list and order details to gifting@onehopewine.com, and our team ships each gift directly. Recipients must be 21 or over, and an adult signature is required at delivery.
Can I order custom gifts this season?
Ask our gifting team. Custom gifts need extra production time, and the team can tell you what is still possible for your list.
Is there a non-alcoholic option?
Yes. Our gifting team can swap the wine in most of our gifts for a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling tea. Email gifting@onehopewine.com to arrange it.
Can I send a gift card instead of wine?
Yes. The ONEHOPE Digital Gift Card can carry a personal note and works toward any wine or gift box online. It is for online purchases only.
Should clients and employees get the same gift?
They can, but they do not have to. Many companies send one ready-to-order gift to the whole team and choose something more personal for each client. Either way, the note matters most.
Which gift works for a whole team?
The Classic Vintner Wine Gift is a simple choice, because you pick the wine for each person. The Happy Holidays design of the Classic Etched Shimmer Wine Gift also suits a team. For the rest of the year, see our guide to employee appreciation gifts.
