Why Backyard Games Make the Perfect Gift for Clients, Staff & Businesses

Forget Hampers -
Give Something They’ll Actually Use

When it comes to gifting clients or staff, most businesses reach for the same old options - wine, vouchers, or hampers that are gone before the weekend’s over.

But the best gifts aren’t the most expensive - they’re the ones that create lasting moments.
That’s why Backyard Games make such powerful client and staff gifts. They’re timeless, social, and built to be played, time and time again.

Why Games Make Great Gifts

1. They Create Memories, Not Clutter

Unlike items that get shelved or forgotten, games are designed to be used.
They bring people together - at home, at the bach, or over summer holidays - and every time they’re played, your brand (or thoughtful gesture) is remembered.

Whether it’s a client family get-together or a team BBQ, gifting a Backyard Game gives people permission to slow down, connect, and have fun - something everyone can appreciate.

2. They Work for Everyone

Finding a one-size-fits-all gift is almost impossible - but a good game comes pretty close.

From Cornhole and Giant Kubb to Beach Tennis and Tumbling Tower, these classics appeal to all ages and abilities. They’re easy to play, beautifully made, and universally loved. It’s the kind of gift that feels personal, without having to overthink it.

3. They’re Premium, Local, and Built to Last

Every Backyard Games set is crafted with quality hard wood and attention to detail — making them a standout choice for companies who value craftsmanship and supporting local New Zealand businesses.

A game that lasts years (not days) sends a clear message: we invest in things that bring long-term joy.

Best for: Client thank-yous, end-of-year celebrations, loyalty rewards, team milestones.

4. You Can Make It Yours

Want to go a step further? Custom branding turns a great gift into a lasting brand statement.

Add your logo, campaign tagline, or message to create a piece that’s both playful and purposeful. Whether you’re gifting it internally or to valued partners, it’s a subtle way to keep your brand present in the best possible context — good times.

Gifting That Feels Good

The best gifts are the ones that make people smile - and that’s exactly what games do.
They encourage connection, spark laughter, and remind people that life’s better when we play a little.

So this year, skip the throwaway gifts and give something that’ll be remembered every summer, every gathering, every Friday night at home.
