Corporate Gifts in India: Handcrafted Ceramic Hampers, Bulk & Branded
In one line: Claymistry does handcrafted ceramic corporate gifting from India: Diwali hampers, employee appreciation, client gifts, wedding favors, and HoReCa tableware. Custom branding, GST invoicing, 100 to 10,000+ pieces, pan-India delivery.
If you're sourcing corporate gifts in India and tired of the same chocolate boxes, branded mugs from bulk printers, or generic hampers, Claymistry offers an alternative: handcrafted ceramic pieces made in India, with real material integrity and room for genuine customization.
I'm Pooja, founder of Claymistry (IIM Ahmedabad '15). Since 2023, we've built a growing B2B book serving hotel groups, corporate HR teams, wedding planners, and gift curators, all looking for gifts that feel considered rather than transactional.
Who we gift for
- Corporates and HR teams. Diwali hampers, new-hire welcome kits, work-anniversary gifts, leadership appreciation, client thank-yous.
- HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, cafés). Custom tableware programs, amenity kits for suites, branded serveware.
- Wedding planners and couples. Bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts, return gifts, curated favors for close family.
- Gift curators and concept stores. Wholesale purchase for retail, private label possible for 500+ pieces.
- Real estate and homebuilders. Handover hampers for new flat owners.
What makes our corporate gifts different
- Handcrafted, not moulded plastic dressed up. Each piece is shaped, glazed, and kiln-fired by India's legacy ceramic artisans. Slight hand-made variation is the feature, not a defect.
- Non-toxic, food-safe glazes. Cadmium free. We test our glazes for lead and cadmium release to ISO 6486 Parts 1 and 2 at an NABL-accredited laboratory. Lab test reports can be shipped at additional cost. Microwave and dishwasher safe. See our safety FAQ.
- Custom branding that doesn't look tacky. Under-glaze printed logos fused into the ceramic (not stickers), embossed monograms, bespoke colourways, and custom packaging. Minimums apply.
- GST invoicing and 2A reconciliation. Full compliance documentation for your finance team. TDS handled, payment terms negotiable on larger orders.
- Pan-India delivery. Centralized to one address or split across multiple office locations. We've shipped to 90+ cities.
