Gift baskets make a great gift for practically everyone, but one area that some people don’t always think about is giving corporate gift baskets.
If buying gifts for individual friends or family members is hard, then making the decision on what to buy dozens (if not hundreds) of employees is even more difficult. You need to choose something that will be perfect for men as well as women, something that is ideal for all ages, and something that most people will like to receive. The old saying that you can’t please everyone at once is certainly true, but it’s also a fact that the vast majority of people would love to receive all the goodies that come packed into the average gift basket.
The first thing you need to think about if you are going to opt for a gift hamper to give to your employees is whether or not to include alcoholic drinks in it. This will depend on the age of your employees. It’s obvious that anyone who is under age won’t be able to have a gift basket or hamper that includes wine, beer or any other alcoholic drink.
This gives you two options. You can either reduce the size of your gift basket, giving everyone a gift which doesn’t include alcohol at all, or you can order two types of gift – one which has alcohol for all those who can have it and one which doesn’t for those who are too young.
Alternatively you can put in a request to have a gift basket made up to your own specifications, instead of choosing from the wide range that the company will already have available. This can be a better option if you have a very precise idea about what you want to include, and you have a specific budget you will have to stick to.
In this case you may also find it useful to ask the person you are in contact with at the company if they have any suggestions on how to create the best gift basket possible within the budgetary constraints you have. You can be sure that they will have a lot more experience of creating corporate gift baskets than you have, so it pays to tap into that knowledge!
Many companies send a gift basket to their employees at a seasonal time of year such as Christmas, so it’s good to make sure you include some seasonal goods in your gift to help celebrate the time of year. It’s often the additional items such as luxury cranberry sauce that go down well, but any luxury item that will fit in well is bound to be well received by whoever is lucky enough to get a gift basket.
Some companies are so delighted with the results of their first seasonal gift basket to their employees that they decide to continue giving them for every single subsequent year as well. What starts as a pleasant alternative can become a much loved tradition.
