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.

Things to Avoid
- Personal items like clothing, fragrances.
