The season of corporate gifting is that time of the year when many companies are troubled by the ultimate question – what could we gift this year that could encourage higher productivity, inspire cooperation, strengthen relationships and simply show that we care?
However small scale problem this may be, we know that this festive challenge can quickly turn into a last-minute Holiday nightmare if you haven’t had the time to go window shopping. To spare you the trouble, we went on a hunt to find the best corporate gift options out there, and here’s our top 13 best gifts for employees or business partners that are under or around $30!
Do you know what the leaders of big and successful companies like Apple, Yahoo, The Muse, Starbucks, General Electric and Google have in common?
They all have said it and lived by the idea that a company is nothing without the people that are a part of it. Whether you manage a small team of six out of a coworking space or oversee thousands across offices worldwide, you know that your employees and partners are invaluable to the success of your business — and you want to thank them beyond simply paying a salary.
So why not skip the tired and cheap “here’s the same corporate-gift-pen we gave out last year (and the year before)” scenario and treat your employees to these innovative, thoughtful and useful options instead. All of these options will provide real value to employers, employees, shareholders, investors, customers, partners and anyone who you wish to show gratitude to.
How to find a gift that actually provides value? To make it easier for you, we did all the hard work and compiled a list of our top 13 corporate gift options you can consider and choose from this Holiday season.
