Think of your purpose
Knowing why you are giving the gift makes it easier to think of what is appropriate. For instance, a gold watch is traditionally given to retirees, or a box of cookies may go with a sincere apology. |

Give it a personal touch
Pay attention and consider the recipient's interests and hobbies. Is he or she into the organic trend? Then why not include a book on growing an organic vegetable garden? Or if the person is into golf, then put in a helpful book on how to make that swing even better. The recipient will surely appreciate the thought that you've put into your gift. And don't forget to enclose a handwritten personal note with it. |

Avoid going beyond the limit
The company's budget limit, that is. Make sure that your gift is not too expensive so as not to make the recipient feel uncomfortable. You also don't want to give the message that you're bribing someone! |

Consider a corporate gift basket
If you really don't have time, then giving a gift basket may just be the solution to your gift-giving dilemma. Gift baskets can be customized and come in very presentable packages. They typically contain an assortment of little edible items that can be shared with the rest of the office staff. Not only that, creating a personalized basket by contacting a gift service company is just a phone call or a few clicks on the Internet away. |
