Client gift ideas by budget

Real prices per gift, before shipping and branding. Most companies pick one tier for the whole client list, then a bigger one for their top accounts.

Under $40: a thank-you for every contact

For the whole buying committee, the day-to-day contacts and anyone at an organization with a strict gift policy.

$40 to $100: the standard client gift

A full box or collection that feels like a real present. The safe pick for most client lists.

$100 to $200: key accounts and partners

For the clients who carried your year, long-time partners and the contact who referred three others.

$200 and up: send one for the whole office

Big collections that work as a shared gift for a client team. One box for the break room is often the easiest way to respect per-person gift limits.

Every gift opens our partner store, where you can order online. Sending to a long list or adding your logo? Get a free quote with volume pricing instead.

Client gift etiquette: limits, policies and timing

A gift that breaks a client's policy is worse than no gift. Six rules that keep it welcome.

  • Ask about their gift policy.

    Many companies cap what employees may accept, and some ban gifts outright. If you're unsure, send something modest or one shared gift for the team.

  • Government clients have hard limits.

    US federal employees can generally accept unsolicited gifts worth $20 or less per occasion, and no more than $50 a year from one source. State and local rules vary and are often stricter.

  • Regulated industries have their own rules.

    Financial services, healthcare and public companies often require gifts to be logged or kept under a set value. Your contact will know; ask them.

  • Know the tax line.

    In the US, a business can deduct up to $25 per recipient per year for gifts (IRS Publication 463). Check with your accountant before planning around it.

  • Never tie a gift to a decision.

    No gifts during an open bid, a renewal negotiation or a procurement review. Send after the contract is signed, not before.

  • Treat everyone on the account the same.

    If you send to one person on a team, send to the others at the same level, or send one gift for the group.

When to send client gifts

December is the busiest week for client gifts and the easiest week to get lost in. These moments land better.

Order about 2 to 3 weeks ahead for smaller unbranded orders. For 100 or more gifts, or anything with your logo, allow 4 to 6 weeks.

  • The first week of a new account. A welcome gift sets the tone before the first invoice does.
  • A launch, go-live or project close. Tie the gift to work you did together, and say so in the note.
  • A renewal. Thank them for staying, not for paying.
  • A referral. The best clients send you other clients. Thank them every time.
  • Their own milestones. A new office, a promotion, a funding round or a company anniversary.
  • Thanksgiving week or the New Year. Gifts that land outside the December rush get noticed and remembered.

Shipped to each client, wherever they work

One list, one note, and every gift goes out to its own address.

  1. Ask where it should go. With hybrid schedules, office deliveries can sit in a mailroom for weeks. Ask contacts for the address they prefer.

  2. Send the recipient list. A spreadsheet with names and addresses: homes, offices or both, in the US and internationally.

  3. Approve the note and branding. Your message on each card, plus logo ribbon, inserts or gift tags if you want them.

  4. Each gift ships on its own. Packed and sent to every address individually. Timing and regional charges depend on the list.

What to write in a client gift note

Name something you did together, sign it yourself and keep it to two sentences. A sales pitch in the card undoes the gift.

  • Thank you for trusting us with the launch. Working with your team made it the best project of our year.
  • Two years, four projects and one very long Tuesday in March. Thank you for being a client we brag about.
  • Congratulations on the new office. Here's something sweet for the first week in it.
  • Thank you for introducing us to your colleagues. It means a lot that you'd vouch for us.
  • A small thank-you for a big year. We're grateful for the partnership and excited for what's next.

Branding that stays out of the way

Clients keep gifts that feel like gifts. Put the logo on the packaging, not the product. Branded orders need vector logo files and 4 to 6 weeks; see custom logo gifts for the details.

  • Logo ribbon

    Your logo printed on the ribbon: visible, but the gift still looks like a gift.

  • Branded inserts

    A printed card inside the box with your note and logo.

  • Custom gift tags

    A small tag with the client's name and yours.

  • Co-branded wrapping

    Put their logo next to yours for a partnership milestone.

Or host a client event instead of a box

A hosted tasting gives clients an hour with your team, not just a delivery. A kit ships to every guest, so book about 3 weeks ahead. More in our corporate event ideas.

Client gift questions

What are good gift ideas for clients?

Gifts that can be shared or enjoyed right away work best: premium chocolate, a curated gift box, or a hosted tasting the client's team joins together. Skip anything with a large logo, and tie the gift to something you did together in the note.

How much should you spend on a client gift?

There is no standard amount. Most companies use one tier for the whole client list and a larger one for top accounts. Our client gifts run from $22 to $432. In the US, businesses can deduct up to $25 per recipient per year for gifts (IRS Publication 463), and many clients have their own acceptance limits, so modest gifts are often the safer choice.

Can government employees accept client gifts?

US federal employees can generally accept unsolicited gifts worth $20 or less per occasion, up to $50 a year from any one source. State and local rules vary and are often stricter. When in doubt, ask your contact or send one shared gift to the office.

When is the best time to send client gifts?

Send after a project milestone, a renewal, a referral or a client's own news, not during an open bid or negotiation. For year-end gifts, Thanksgiving week or the first week of January stands out more than the last week of December.

Should client gifts have our logo on them?

Keep it subtle. Clients keep gifts that feel like gifts, so put the logo on the ribbon, an insert or a gift tag rather than the product. Co-branded wrapping with the client's logo next to yours works well for partnership milestones.

Can you ship client gifts to many different addresses?

Yes. Send a spreadsheet of names and addresses and each gift is packed and shipped individually, in the US and internationally. Timing and regional shipping charges depend on the destination list.

How far ahead should we order client gifts?

About 2 to 3 weeks for smaller unbranded orders. For 100 or more gifts, or anything with custom branding, allow 4 to 6 weeks. Rush orders are sometimes possible; ask us.

Is there a minimum order?

Minimums are typically 10 units per product. Custom branding or packaging can raise the minimum, and larger orders get tiered volume pricing in your quote.
