Not quite yet? With bonfire night this month it actually is time to look for some innovative Christmas company greetings.

We’ve seen a rising demand from businesses to give their employees, partners, and clients a customised Sprout pencil on a Christmassy card, thanking them for the past year’s collaboration and wishing them Happy Holidays. It’s a greeting that gives back into the new year and beyond as the pencil can be planted to grow into a beautiful plant. Choose (or design) a lovely single card for your pencil.Choose the seed that you want your Sprout pencil to grow into — perhaps it’s time for thyme? And decide the text you want printed or engraved on the pencil. You can also choose one of their pencil packs with 3, 5 and 8 graphite or colour pencils as a Christmas gift. www.sproutworld.com
