Employee Gifting FAQs
The best employee gifts are practical and branded: stainless steel bottles, premium notebooks, desk accessories, and festive hampers. For Diwali, hampers with sweets, dry fruits, and a branded item are the most popular choice. For all occasions, personalisation with a name or note significantly improves reception.
For all-staff gifts, ₹500–₹1,500 per person is the standard range. For work anniversaries (5+ years), ₹3,000–₹7,000 is appropriate. For senior management or top performers, ₹5,000–₹10,000 shows genuine appreciation.
Safe choices include: branded stationery, drinkware (non-leather), desk accessories, books, plant kits, and tech accessories. Avoid: alcohol, leather items, and food gifts without labelling. Hampers with vegetarian-certified sweets and dry fruits are widely accepted.
Yes - even adding a name or department to the packaging transforms a generic gift into a personal moment. MintBox offers name printing, custom notes, and logo branding on most products at no significant extra cost for orders of 25+.
Hampers combining a branded drinkware item (bottle or mug), premium dry fruits, artisan sweets, and a MintBox branded box are the most ordered Diwali gift. Budget: ₹800–₹1,500 per unit for mid-sized teams.
