How to Plan a Corporate Gifting Budget (A Simple Three-Tier Framework)

Gifting budgets go wrong when they're built product-first. Start with people.

Step 1: Count your recipients by tier

Step 2: Choose items per tier

Pick one hero item per tier and allow one alternative. Too much variety complicates personalisation and delivery.

Step 3: Add the hidden costs

• Personalisation (logo set-up, individual names)
• Gift boxes and cards
• Delivery to multiple offices or cities

Keep a 5–10% buffer for these.

Step 4: Get a consolidated quote

Worked example

Imagine a 120-person company planning Diwali gifts: 10 leaders and key clients, 100 employees and 40 dealer partners. A sensible plan might be:

• Tier 1 (10): Leadership Set with names.
• Tier 2 (100): engraved steel bottle plus a notebook.
• Tier 2+ (40 dealers): desk organiser with the dealer's firm name.

Three products, three personalisation files, one delivery schedule — easy to manage and easy to quote.

Saving without looking cheap

• Consolidate departments into one order for better per-piece pricing.
• Choose one premium item over three average ones.
• Engrave rather than print — it costs little more and looks far better.
• Book early to avoid express charges.

Track what works

Note which gifts people mention, use and post about. Next year's budget will be easier — and better spent.

Add your picks to the Gift list on our catalogue, set quantities, and send it on WhatsApp — you'll receive one consolidated quote. Per-piece prices improve with quantity, so combining orders across departments saves money.
