A personalised corporate gift can thank a client, mark an anniversary or accompany a team event. Start with the recipient and message, then choose the material. An engraved terracotta tile offers a decorative approach: your logo can sit alongside a date, a place or a few words.
Decide what the gift should recall
A client gift, a seminar keepsake and a present for a colleague serve different purposes. You might thank someone for a partnership, recall time spent together or choose a more personal message. Making this decision helps avoid a composition in which a large logo overwhelms the piece without explaining the occasion.
Before looking for a design, express your aim in one sentence. For example: “Thank the partners who have supported us for ten years”. That gives you a starting point for the date, message and presentation. A few words such as “Thank you for ten years by our side” can set the tone.
A place name or keepsake to give
A guesthouse name sign and a Provence keepsake illustrate two ideas for hospitality or events. These photographs show catalogue designs, not examples engraved with a company logo. For a logo, a quantity order or a specific project, use the business page linked in this guide.
Why consider a decorative terracotta object?
Terracotta brings a warm colour and texture that can suit a brand connected with a region, a hospitality venue or a craft. A personalised decorative tile can be displayed in an office or at home, according to the recipient’s taste. Its appeal lies in that visual presence and the meaning of the chosen message.
At MyTomette, our customisable terracotta blanks are traditionally made in Salernes. We then laser-engrave them in the Var. You can pair this material with a motif from your region, simple lettering or a composition that recalls your event venue.
Choose a readable composition
On a small format, a logo, name and date may already make a complete composition. If your branding contains fine details or a lot of text, ask how it can be adapted for engraving. Assess the result at the object’s actual size, not only enlarged on a screen.
- A company anniversary: the name, a period of time and a short message.
- Thanking a client: a phrase about your collaboration, with a discreet signature.
- A team event: the location and date of the gathering.
- An individual gift: the recipient’s name with a message chosen for them.
Provide a clear logo file and specify the version to use. If several variations exist, send the one you want on the object. Any adaptation of the design should be understood and approved before a batch is prepared.
Prepare the details needed for a quotation
To assess the project, the workshop needs the number of pieces, preferred format, wording and desired arrival date. State whether every piece is identical or whether each recipient will have a different name. A batch of identical designs and a set of individually personalised pieces involve different preparation.
Include presentation and delivery needs: one address or several, handing the gifts out at an event, or special packaging to discuss. The quotation can then reflect the actual project. Prices, batch options and the schedule must be confirmed with the workshop. If you are weighing up two presentations, share your budget to help prioritise the options that matter most.
Organise approval and delivery
Choose one person to proofread the final file and gather corrections. Check the company name, any first names, accents and dates. For a recipient list, provide a clear document with one entry per person and confirm the preparation process with the workshop.
The stated preparation time for a standard MyTomette order is 3 working days, plus delivery. For a larger quantity or a fixed event date, ask for a suitable schedule before committing. Allow time for design approval and for receiving the pieces before giving them to their recipients.
Include a personal note
A card can explain your choice of terracotta, the illustration or the engraved date. You could recall a shared project, thank someone for their collaboration or mention a moment from the event. Keep the engraving brief and save this longer, more personal message for the card: the two complement each other.
For gifts given at a dinner or seminar, simply coordinate the wrapping with the event stationery. Afterwards, the tile may find a place on a shelf or desk. Aim for a composition that is pleasant to look at every day, with a logo that supports the message and gives it space.
