Corporate gift etiquette requires clarity, restraint, and cultural awareness. Well-planned corporate gifting fosters goodwill, reinforces brand reputation, and avoids ethical missteps.

 1. Set a sensible budget

• Experts recommend limiting client gifts to US $50–100, with a maximum of $150 for top-tier clients or executives. We have gifts in this range here.

• A safe rule: stay under $100 fair-market value to avoid appearing extravagant or violating policy
  
  

2. Understand company policies & compliance

• Always verify your firm’s gifting policy and that of the recipient many organizations prohibit gifts over $25–50, especially in regulated sectors

• In highly regulated industries (finance, pharmaceuticals, government), strict anti-bribery limits apply, often capping gifts at $20–50 per occasion, $50 annually per giver-recipient pair
  
  

3. Avoid perceptions of favoritism or bribery

• Never give gifts during active bidding processes or performance reviews it may seem like an improper incentive

• Keep gift-giving uniform across comparable recipients; equal treatment prevents jealousy or ethical concerns
  
  

4. Choose thoughtful, practical items

• Avoid overly personal items like clothing or perfume. Instead, opt for neutral, inclusive gifts food baskets (consider allergies like nuts, gluten and fish) , desktop accessories, tasteful branded items

• Prefer non-consumables (e.g., quality notebooks, tech accessories, engraved desk pieces) that leave a lasting impression

• 5. Respect timing and presentation

• Give gifts during milestones (e.g., contract signing, project completion) or holidays not around sensitive periods like salary reviews .
