Employee Gifts

Dear Folks,
Greetings to you all
We are planning for Department get together and would like to present every employee with a gift. Would like ot hear from you all...the best gifts shared...
Look forward to hear from you all

Gifts depends upon your investment. How much you invest on the gifts given to the employees.

Dear Chandu,
Your question should have more info. You haved not mentioned the occassion, affordability of the company, Budget and further implications are that if you give the gifts in your department don't you think that other sections / departments / units will also demand / request for the same. If you are OK for every thing:
*Normally household items
*mementos
*items which can be used regularly
*some times T shirts / Jerkins with company logos like this you can issue
Thanks and regards - kameswarao

Hi. What kind of a firm are you at? How many employees and what is the likely budget? What is the cross section we are looking at? As in the different strata of people in your organization?
We have retained a Gifting expert (Yes! there is a person like that who specializes in sourcing the right gift at the right cost!!) who helps us with our various needs through the year. Since we are a Real Estate firm the people who we send gifts to range right from peons working in Banks & Municipal council offices to Chairmen of leading Financial/Architectural/Law/Liaison firms in the city. And she manages to get the right gift/s depending on the feedback we give her on people's backgrounds. And all the gifts can be different too!!
If you can give me the basic information, I'll see if she can give me a few suggestions that can be sourced by you yourself.
Regards.

Nice ideas!
There is this new mobile voucher service called GiftMate (GiftMate: The Instant, Easy and Convenient way to gift)
Gifting employees a free voucher can be something new

So many things pile up in homes that one does not need. Best is to give gift vouchers and let the employee himself/herself decide what he/she wants. If the Company's policy is not to give gift vouchers and since it is a get to gather , bring some fun and conduct games and give prizes in a manner that all get some thing to take home.
