What is a corporate gift?
A corporate gift is any gift given by a corporate body to its staff or clients. Corporate gifts can be in-house gifts or out-of-house gifts, but they always observe professional etiquette which differs based on the relationship between the giver and the recipient.
Now that we’ve answered the main question, what else is there to say about corporate gifts?
A lot!
Let’s take a deep dive into every aspect of corporate gifts and break each one down into its simplest forms.
Let’s get started!
Part 1: What are the different types of corporate gifts?
Let’s look at the different types of gifts that can be given in the corporate environment.
Celebration gifts
Celebration gifts are items given for a specific occasion or event.
They can be a company wide gift to celebrate a holiday, business anniversary, or even just a surprisingly good quarter.
Special note: this would not be an award for making a goal. It’s important to remember awards and rewards are not gifts. We will go into that in Part 2.
Celebration gifts also include individual gifts tailored to employees. This would be events like a birthday, professional milestone (like 10 years of service), or a wedding. They should be linked to an event in the personal life of the employee or client.
