Gifts for Business Partners from Berlin
Gifts for business partners are a special gesture of appreciation and a sign of a business relationship that has grown over time. As gifts for business partners, Buddy Bears combine a connection with Berlin and the values of openness, diversity and mutual respect.
Whether for the successful conclusion of a contract, a partner company’s anniversary or as a personal end-of-year greeting to a long-standing business contact: a hand-painted Buddy Bear is a high-quality gift with lasting value as a keepsake. As a Berlin landmark, it stands for partnership on an equal footing and trusting cooperation.

Buddy Bear for Your CompanyIndividual Gift or Customised Series
Whether as a personal token of appreciation or as a gift for an entire partner network: gifts for business partners from Buddy Bear Berlin can be chosen to suit the occasion and the desired quantity. Three options are available to you.
A Personal Gift from the Shop
Would you like to thank an important business partner for working together, mark the conclusion of a contract or give someone a special treat at Christmas? You can order our hand-painted Buddy Bear miniatures and artistic one-off pieces directly in the online shop from a single piece. Prices are visible immediately, and items in stock are ready for dispatch at short notice. A separate project enquiry is not required.
An Individual Series for Several Partners
For franchise networks, agencies and companies with larger partner programmes, we offer personalised Buddy Bear series. The artistic painting picks up your corporate identity colours. An individually designed base plate provides space for company name, logo, dedication and date. Production takes place in Berlin and takes around 4 to 6 weeks from design approval. Such series are usually cost-effective from around 20 pieces.
A Sculpture as a Special Sign of Partnership
For a partner company’s 25th anniversary, the opening of a joint location or as a permanent work of art in the reception area, a large-format Buddy Bear is the right choice. As an individually designed one-off piece, the 1-metre Mini Friend or the 2-metre Friend can artistically reflect the shared history of two companies.
In all options, the Buddy Bear remains a work of art in its own right. Company logos are therefore applied exclusively to a base plate. The connection to your company is created through the colour design or an artistic interpretation of your partnership.
How Your Partner Gift Is Made
Would you like a Buddy Bear designed for a special business partner, or to give several partners an individual series? We accompany you in five steps, from the first idea to delivery.
- 1. Send an enquiry
Use our contact form or give us a call. Tell us the occasion, the desired quantity and your preferred date.
- 2. Discuss your wishes
In a personal telephone call, we clarify the right product size, the extent of customisation and your budget.
- 3. Develop the design
Our artists create a draft based on your corporate identity colours and motif wishes. For the design, we need your logo as a vector file (.ai, .eps or .pdf) or as an image file with at least 300 dpi. A maximum of two lines of text is possible on the base plate.
- 4. Approve the draft
You review the design proposal. We agree on any adjustments together before you give final approval.
- 5. Production and delivery
Production begins after approval. On request, we ship your Buddy Bears individually to several hundred recipient addresses or deliver the entire series by pallet to one central address.
Projects and References
DAX groups, international brands, public authorities and embassies already rely on individually designed Buddy Bears to cultivate business relationships, make collaborations visible and honour special occasions. More than 1,100 individual Buddy Bears have been created for companies and institutions (as of October 2026).
Whether as a prestigious gift for an important business partner, as a token of appreciation for long-standing clients or as a work of art in the reception area: an individually designed Buddy Bear combines your company’s identity with an internationally known Berlin landmark.
The design options range from painting in your company colours to artistic motifs developed especially for you. You can choose between a single sculpture and a larger series for your partner network.
Motifs from large Buddy Bear sculptures can also be realised in miniature format. What works on a two-metre bear can also be designed for a series of 22 or 33 cm miniatures. This makes individual Buddy Bears ideal as high-quality gifts for clients, sales partners and international business contacts.
Discover in our reference gallery how companies from different sectors express their brand, their values and their partnerships through art.

Typical Occasions for Partner Gifts
A successful business relationship thrives on trust, personal exchange and shared success. A special gift for business partners expresses this appreciation. As a Berlin landmark, the Buddy Bear stands for openness, respect and international connection. This makes it particularly suitable for occasions on which you want to honour a partnership that has grown over time or celebrate a shared milestone.
- Conclusion or renewal of a contract: Mark the start or continuation of a successful collaboration with a supplier or joint venture partner.
- Company anniversary: Present a lasting keepsake for the 10th, 25th or 50th anniversary of a partner company.
- Christmas and the end of the year: Thank long-standing contacts and key account managers for their trusting cooperation.
- Delegation trips and site visits: Present international partners with a prestigious gift with an unmistakable connection to Berlin.
- Personal occasions: Show your personal bond with long-standing business partners on birthdays, weddings or the birth of a child.
- Market entry or product launch: Celebrate joint projects and new business prospects with an individually designed Buddy Bear.

Tax Treatment in Germany
Under Section 4(5) no. 1 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG), gifts to business partners can be deducted as a business expense up to an exemption limit of €50 per recipient and financial year. As a rule, the net costs are decisive, provided input tax can be deducted.
For taxable gifts in kind, the giving company can, under certain conditions, pay a flat-rate tax of 30% plus solidarity surcharge under Section 37b EStG. The business partner then does not have to pay tax on the gift.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
For a personal gift to an individual business partner, you can order our standard miniatures in the online shop from a single piece.
If you would like to give several partners Buddy Bears in your company colours with an individual base plate, personalised series are usually cost-effective from around 20 pieces. We recommend fully customised motifs with their own artistic design from around 100 pieces.
For smaller partner programmes or pilot series, we are happy to look at individual solutions. Send us your enquiry and discuss the right implementation with us.
Yes, of course. Our hand-painted Buddy Bear miniatures with classic Berlin motifs are available directly in the online shop and ready for dispatch from stock.
They are particularly suitable as individual gifts for important business partners, for smaller orders or as a first selection before a larger personalised series.
Discover our standard miniatures in the product section of this page and order the Buddy Bears you want directly in the shop.
Company logos are generally not applied directly to Buddy Bears, as every bear is a work of art in its own right.
For an individual partner gift, we can incorporate your corporate identity colours into the artistic painting. Your company logo, company name, a personal dedication or a date can be placed on an additional base plate.
The result is a prestigious gift that honours your business relationship while preserving the artistic character of the Buddy Bear.
Our standard Buddy Bears are ready for immediate dispatch from stock. For personalised series in your company colours with an individual base plate, the delivery time is 4 to 6 weeks from design approval. For fully customised motifs, you should allow around 6 months.
If the handover date has already been set, for example for a business partner’s company anniversary, the conclusion of a contract or your Christmas gifts, we recommend enquiring early.
For the design of your partner gift, we need your company logo, ideally as a vector file (.ai, .eps or .pdf). Alternatively, image files with at least 300 dpi are suitable. With small formats, lower resolutions can impair print quality.
A maximum of two lines of text plus a date is possible on the individual base plate, for example for the company name and a personal dedication.
Do you have questions about the design or your print data? Contact us for personal advice.
The base plate is matched to the size of the Buddy Bear. For the 22 cm miniature, there is a choice of acrylic or glass plates. The size is approx. 14 × 10 cm. The printable area is approx. 12 x 2.5 cm.
For the 6 cm miniature, we only offer printable acrylic plates, but in two different sizes.
- 7 x 5 cm. The printable area is approx. 5.5 x 1 cm.
- 5 x 5 cm. The printable area is approx. 4 x 1 cm.
So that your company logo, company name or personal dedication is shown to its best advantage, we are happy to provide you with the exact dimensions of the available print area and a design template for your design team. This allows you to prepare your print data in the right format and agree on the placement of the desired elements in advance.
There are various options for the individual design of your base plate. You can choose between a single-colour version in your corporate identity colours, a transparent acrylic plate with your company logo printed on it, or a version printed in colour on the reverse. The latter is particularly suitable for multicoloured logos, colour gradients and more elaborate motifs.
A transparent base plate looks discreet and elegant, while a coloured design emphasises your company colours more strongly. In the personal initial consultation, we will be happy to advise you on the various options and work with you to find the right design for your Buddy Bear.
The cost of individual gifts for business partners depends on the product size (6 cm, 22 cm, 33 cm or large sculpture), the extent of the design and the desired quantity. We distinguish between personalised Buddy Bears in your company colours and fully customised motifs.
After an initial consultation, we will prepare a specific quotation for you that covers all design, finishing and logistics costs.
When you buy our standard Buddy Bears, we donate 5% of net sales to children’s charities, regardless of the order quantity. This way, your gift to a business partner also contributes to helping children in need of support.
Important: The donation scheme applies exclusively to standard Buddy Bears from our range. Personalised and fully customised Buddy Bears are excluded.
