As a rule of thumb, the appropriate value of a business gift is between $25 and $100. It depends on the professional relationship, the industry, and company policies. Of course, VIPs and executive gifts tend to be on the higher end to support relationship-building, while employee gifts consider IRS deduction limits, special events, and bonuses.
No matter your company's budget, one thing needs to be ensured: Your business gift has to say, "You are valued and want to continue building this relationship."
Equally as important is how you personalize a business gift. We don't just mean how you brand it but also how the gift matches the recipient's preferences, personality, and lifestyle.
