Gifts \u2013 let the small joys of life come in<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Who does not love to receive gifts from near and dear ones? Sometimes the gift is from a friend, sometimes from family and then sometimes from one\u2019s employer in the form of corporate gift.  In all cases the purpose of gifting is to re-confirm and re-establish the unique relation of mutual affection, trust, and appreciation.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my first year of office in Mumbai, I received a big steel casserole as the employee Diwali gift. Till date the casserole, as shiny as ever, is being used in my kitchen. Once while in Bangalore, all employees received a box of assorted chocolates each, as appreciation from the company for good performance and it created a lot of excitement. Recently, on the international day for women, the HR team went from desk to desk with a red rose and a chocolate box for women employees. These are small joys that keep the work place environment lively and joyful; and increases the professional bonding as well.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why corporate gifting?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Corporate gifting is gifting on behalf of a company for business purpose. Normally gifts are given to clients, partners, external delegates as well as to employees. Most common are employee gifts on special occasions like Diwali or important regional festivals, Excellence in team performance, individual achiever awards, farewell gifts and so on.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n

Corporate gifting makes the business ties stronger. It is a way of showing appreciation to your employees and stakeholders. Sometimes gifts are given to delegates as a show of appreciation and respect. Often banks and big retailers send gifts to their regular clients on special occasions to make them feel special.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right corporate gift<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Corporate gifts reflect the culture and values of the organization. Corporates should be proud of their culture, values, and the country they belong to. They also have social and environmental commitments. E.g., what can be better than choosing a rare art or craft form from your country and showcasing them to your overseas business partners through corporate gifting?<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth of this generation are aware citizens. Many of them are fitness conscious as well as conscious about protection of environment. They are also vocal about inclusivity, social justice, and fair trade. Choose an employee gift keeping all these in mind. When the company must gift thousands of employees, budget is also an important factor.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping all these in mind, Arteastic has created this list of great corporate gift ideas.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
