Need a Good Idea for Rewarding Employees, or a Quick Solution for Corporate Gifts to Give to Clients? Here's a Ready List of 10 Corporate Gift Items You Can Give in 2019

Gift giving is a practice which has been around for thousands of years. Gifts are given as a token of appreciation, to wish luck, to say thank you etc. Corporate gift giving isn’t any different. However, before choosing what to give as gifts, there must be some thought put into it. Here are some of the dos of corporate gift giving:

The best gifts ever received are the ones which can be utilized. What is the point if you give a gift which your client/employee cannot use? Not only is it a gift which will be going into the trash, but it also will be one which is forgotten. The aim is to give gifts which will be useful to the person receiving them. Make sure that your gift is one which can be used and enjoyed and your organization will be lovingly remembered.

Giving a person just anything which we can get our hands on isn’t a do in corporate gifting. The more thoughts and efforts put into the gift, the better will be the gift. If you only have to give gifts to a few people, make sure that you gift them according to their preferences. It gives them immense joy as it means that you have been observant of their interests and chose the gift accordingly. For example, gifting a foodie a gourmet meal will make him/her the happiest. If you have many clients, make sure you gift something which they can all use regardless of what their interests are.

It is important that a gift should not be cheap. It should not be too expensive either. The quality of the gift and the utility are what matters most. If your organization doesn’t have a huge budget, buy a practical item which can be utilized. If you do have a huge budget, still make sure that your gift is within reasonable prices. Don’t go overboard with the prices. Most gift-receivers appreciate the thought put into the gift and might feel uncomfortable if the gift is too pricy.

Creativity is an important aspect of every person's life. Giving the same gifts over and over can quickly get boring. The excitement which your employee felt while receiving a gift for the first time will not be the same if the gift is given the second time. The motivation level also can drop. Therefore, ensure that you gift unique and exciting items every time you choose to gift. Brainstorm for gift ideas before actually deciding upon a particular thing. Also, pass a circular and ask all your employees what they would like and choose the one which resonates with the most number of employees. Doing this will tell your employees that you indeed consider their opinion and that you value it. Choosing a gift after doing this will build your relationship with the employees. Also, you may consider donating to a charity on behalf of your employees.

Before blindly choosing a gift and also giving it, make sure that you thoroughly research how that gift will be perceived. For some people, expensive gifts might seem like a bribe, while for others, it might be forbidden to take gifts. Some companies list in their policy that gifts should not be taken. Every company has its own reasons to create these rules. It is your responsibility to ensure that you don't offend a person by giving a gift.
