Don’t Get Caught in a Controversy


It is vital to be politically correct these days. For example, when you gift an expensive leather suitcase to your senior level executives, or the head of a business associate, the message that goes across is not that you have spent a lot of money, and thought to present a gift that is as useful as it will be enduring. Rather, it presents you in a dubious light of being uncaring of the well-being of animals. Similarly, presenting your spouse with a fur coat, especially mink or ermine, might outrage animal activists, even if it delights her. Gifting even porcelain ashtrays gets perceived as helping spread lung cancer.

Let the Gift Promote Your Brand Image

It is generally inadvisable to give things like perfumes, jewelry, and clothes to anyone who is not a family member or close friend. However, T-shirts and caps are popular corporate gifts from Singapore. Both make great media for promoting your brand. depending on your budget, you could gift laptop bags, non-woven bags, or tote bags which find universal usage. Travel coffee mugs, tumblers which have their own covers, travel adapters with multiple ports for charging, neck pillows, flasks, and notebooks have their own value. The recipient might use that travel coffee mug, or covered tumbler in the office, rather when on holiday or official tour. Everytime she uses it, she will think of you, and your company.

Match the Gift to the Occasion

There should be a difference in the choice of gift when it is meant to express appreciation of colleagues during the festive season, and what is given away at a corporate event to mark a corporate milestone. However, personalizing them for either occasion can impart a special value. You can get personalized gifts in Singapore at very competitive rates.What’s more, you can personalize gifts even for door gifts at parties to celebrate personal milestones like coming of age, landing a prized job, splendid academic results, or even because somebody is going away.

Add that personal touch: When you choose gifts in accordance with the recipient’s personal preferences regarding color, material, and size; it lends just that personal touch which makes it memorable. You could get the intended recipient’s name, the date of the occasion, and the occasion printed on it, or on the gift wrapping. Such gifts could be anything from slim designer water bottles to teddy bears to porcelain figurines to wine bottle openers.
