Corporate gifts for your team

Employee gifts that stay

A gift that does not end up in a drawer. By day the Sun Jar charges in the sun, in the evening it glows on the balcony, at the campsite, at the dinner table. With your logo: laser-engraved into the glass, or printed in colour. A gift that makes sense: lasting, useful and fairly made in Johannesburg.

Four occasions, one light

An employee gift says thank you without a speech. These four moments happen in every team — and each one suits a jar that makes light.

  • Birthday

    A personal day, a personal gift. The jar opens: a card from the team fits inside.

  • Work anniversary

    Five, ten, twenty years with the company. A light that comes on every evening says more than a certificate.

  • Christmas

    The gift for everyone at once. The Sun Jar keeps going through the long winter evenings — when the sun is short, it charges via USB-C.

  • Onboarding and welcome

    The first day at work. A jar with your logo on the new desk says welcome before anyone says a word.

A gift that gets used every evening

Most corporate gifts get one look and then get put away. Not the Sun Jar: it charges in the sun by day and switches itself on at night — the day/night sensor takes care of that. On the balcony, in the garden, on the table at dinner.

The SOMO light module in the lid gives 100 lumens of warm white light at 3000 kelvin. Dimmed, it glows for up to 100 hours; on medium, up to 28 hours. The complete sets are weatherproof to IP65 — the jar can stay outside.

If it sits on the table year after year, so does your logo.

Who makes your gift

We make every jar by hand in our Fair-Trade-certified factory in Johannesburg — since 2013. It has created steady jobs in a region where over 60 percent of young people have no work.

The factory runs almost entirely on solar power, and 100 percent of profits are reinvested in the company and its people. Give your team a Sun Jar and you give two things: light here, a steady job there. That is a story you can tell honestly in the Christmas email to your staff.

How your logo gets onto the glass

Laser engraving: your logo in one colour, matte and permanent in the glass. Colour print: your logo in your colours, directly on the glass. For production we need your logo as vector artwork (SVG, EPS, PDF or AI). Don't have one? We help prepare it.

If you like, we add something: a printed greeting card in the parcel, or an insert in the jar, such as dried flowers or a tag. Logo work and inserts need time — plan early, especially before Christmas.

Tell us the quantity and when you need it. We reply personally with a quote and advise on technique, run size and timing.

Frequently asked questions

The Sun Jar with your logo — laser-engraved in one colour, matte in the glass, or printed in your colours on the glass. A printed greeting card or an insert in the jar go well with it.

Your logo as vector artwork: SVG, EPS, PDF or AI. If you don't have one, say so in the form — we help prepare it.

That depends on quantity, technique and design. So every corporate gift gets its own quote. Tell us the quantity and your date, and we get back to you personally.

As early as you can. Engraving, printing and inserts need time. Put your date in the form and we plan backwards together.

Yes. On a window sill the SOMO module charges in the sun, on grey days via USB-C. Dimmed, it glows for up to 100 hours.

Because the facts say so: recycled glass and stainless steel, made by hand in a Fair-Trade-certified factory that runs almost entirely on solar power. And because the SOMO module can be swapped, the gift does not end with the battery.
