There are many occasions when giving corporate gift baskets is not only appropriate but encouraged! What better way to say "thank you" than with a business to business gift.
There are many other reasons. It’s easy to think giving a corporate gift basket to someone at another business is a good idea but often we overlook those who we work with day to day. These people might always go the extra mile and never takes credit for it. Perhaps there’s a group of employees that worked long hours towards an urgent project. If you can’t afford raises then at least acknowledge the extra effort with a gift basket to that department.
Inside or outside the company it’s a way to send congratulations for substantial achievements of others by sending a corporate gift basket. Equally, it’s a great way to say "I’m sorry" or convey condolences.
It is, of course, important to stay within a budget. Food baskets can be tricky unless you know for sure there are certain preferences and – as important – not issues with food allergies. A combination basket is also a possibility especially if going to an individual.
Seasonal holidays are a great time for giving corporate gift baskets and recognizing those individuals and businesses that have worked extensively with us during the year.
The gift baskets might be a food platter, coffee or tea basket. It is true that they can be made but in many cases it is actually cheaper to get your gift basket ordered and made professionally. There often is not a great deal of distance and sometimes it’s cheaper, due to the gift basket companies can get volume deals on the materials to make them.
Expect to spend from $30 or so on up to $150 depending on what is in the basket. There is a big range of choices in the $50-70 range. There might be gourmet cheeses, cookies or candy. Many companies offer a "thank you" basket that is worth checking out if that is the sentiment behind the gift. For the health conscious office a basket of dried fruits can be a way to express the sentiment without adding to the waistlines of the recipient(s).
With more women in positions of influence in companies it is worth also considering the line of gift baskets for women. Candles, spa gifts, bath baskets and a range of other gift baskets are developed strictly for women. Even women in positions of authority can enjoy a spa basket or candle basket – and you’ll never have to worry she doesn’t like chocolate or is allergic to nuts.
Many companies also have Kosher gift baskets if that is an interest for a situation it might be appropriate. There are also gift baskets made up just for men – women aren’t the only ones to get a gift tailored to them! Some companies can work up gift baskets tailored to certain interests or hobbies.
For whatever occasion or sentiment you wish to convey from your company or from you personally, check into a selection of corporate gift baskets for your next "statement." It might say more than you think!
