Corporate Gifts by Occasion:
Onboarding, Festivals & Clients

Client gifts are tied to a specific moment - a deal milestone, a project wrap-up, a festive occasion - and typically sit in the ₹2,000–₹5,000 range per recipient for mid-to-large accounts. Employee gifts prioritise collective warmth over individual spend.

Most Indian gifting vendors set an MOQ of 25–50 units for branded corporate gifts. MintBox onboarding kits start from 25 units; individual (non-kit) products can start from a 10-unit MOQ.

Plan to place your order at least 4–6 weeks before your intended delivery date. If your order involves custom packaging, a large volume, or multiple delivery locations, 6 weeks ahead is the safer target - October is peak season for gifting vendors.

Corporate gifts to employees and clients are generally deductible as a business promotion or employee welfare expense, provided they are properly documented - a GST-compliant invoice, a recipient list and a clear business purpose on file. Separately, non-cash gifts to an individual employee are exempt from tax as a perquisite only while the aggregate value in the financial year stays under ₹5,000 (Rule 3(7)(iv) of the Income Tax Rules); at or above that threshold, the full amount becomes taxable. This is general information, not tax advice - confirm current rules with your finance team or a qualified tax adviser.
