Small gifts or tokens can be an effective way to say thanks for the extra effort, to apologize for a mistake or oversight, to celebrate the completion of a big project, or to acknowledge a promotion or special award.

While any thoughtful gift will generally be appreciated, it makes good business sense to give a gift that can be used repeatedly by the recipient during the year. That way, it serves a constant reminder of the person or company who gave it.
Business Gift GuidelinesGood/Safe Choices

  • Writing instruments
  • Stationery
  • Business cases and pad holders
  • Picture frames
  • Gift certificates
  • Food stuff (candy, popcorn, fruit baskets)
  • Plants
  • Charitable donations
  • Plaque/certificates
  • Desk clock, thermometer, paperweight
Things to Avoid

  • Personal items like clothing, fragrances.
  • Anything that might be misunderstood as romantic (like flowers)
  • It’s always wise to check first whether the company has a no-gift policy. If they do, a card or handwritten note will do.
  • Expensive gifts that might be mistaken as a bribe
  • Joke type gifts
