It Is Crystal Clear!
There are many occasions when a corporate gift is acceptable
. That is from one executive to another. But there are also times when it is not. Take, for example, those times when contracts are being tendered. This is not the time to be sending any gift, expensive or not, as it could be construed as a kind of bribe. However, there are special times when it is very appropriate to send a thank you gift or a gift showing appreciation.
Many companies will have definitive guidelines on what and when anything can be accepted. Over priced gifts may not be the only way to show said appreciation and some companies will have limits set on the value of any gift.
All that being said, there are many and varied styles of
gifts for the executive at large. It doesnt always have to be expensive either. A well thought out gift that can be used will be far more valuable than anything with a high dollar value that will reside at the back of a filing cabinet somewhere!
It is sometimes difficult to choose the perfect gift. For traditional or modern offices with the corresponding furniture and design, crystal must be one of the few elements that can fit into both scenarios with ease.
There are many superb pieces of crystal in many stylish designs that would look good on any executives desk. One such item is a perfect, round apple in exquisitely clear crystal. Imagine giving this to a surgeon or doctor (an apple a day .) for his private office, to be used as a paper weight. A message can be engraved on it to commemorate the event but for perfection, it may be better to leave it in its natural state. There is also a perfect diamond that will fit the same bill and would look completely at home in anyones office. Of course, if this is being given to a woman executive, be careful because she may read more into the gift than was meant!
If the executive has to travel a lot, and that should be easy enough to find out, then the array of gifts that are available is virtually endless. Silver or stainless steel clocks abound in leather pouches, with photo frames as an integral part, or even pocket watches, which have made somewhat of a comeback in recent years. These also go down well for wedding gifts for
groomsmen etc.
Clocks also come in unusual jigsaw piece style paperweights for the desk, key fobs of all descriptions and card and pen holder sets. For the more unusual time piece, try a silver money clip with integral clock, or a golf cart for the enthusiasts desk, again with clock.
Still for the traveler, leather luggage is a great gift. Leather comes in many designs and looks great when traveling. Everything is available from a passport holder to a small documents case right the way up to full size luggage. Many would love a carry on bag in soft Nappa leather or even a toiletry bag or grooming kit in the same material. A computer case with an integral weekender bag is also a must for the go getter young executive who just cant live without internet access wherever he/she goes. Doing it in style just adds to the mystique of the traveler and it is sure to get attention of the right kind.
For something completely different, cashmere scarves have become very fashionable of late for even the most staid of company executives. Suitable for either male or female managers or CEOs, these gifts are timeless and will never be out of fashion. They exude style, sophistication and glamour which are probably positive illusions that any executive would wish to communicate.
It goes without saying that most of these pieces can be personalized with initials or engravings but find out first if that is acceptable. Many travelers, particularly women, will be security conscious and may not want to advertise their names, even if it is just the initials. Perhaps their company logo would be a better idea but, again, a little checking would be advisable to see if this is what they would prefer.
If the gift is to be of the edible variety then the choice here, too, is endless. Many gift baskets are available in all price ranges but perhaps the most suitable for the higher end executive is the gourmet style basket. These come packed with superb cheeses, vintage wines, wonderful hand-made chocolates, delectable pts and all manner of other goodies, but again, a word of caution. In todays multi cultural society, some mistakes can be made with regard to edible gift baskets. Some religions do not allow alcohol and other religions will abhor the eating of any pork products. Research is the key to all gift giving and any well run public relations department will be able to find out what is, and what is not, acceptable.
Some highly unusual silver key fobs and chains are available these days. One features a jigsaw called the perfect fit which may be the perfect subliminal message from one company to another. Silver fortune cookie key fobs are another lovely idea especially if the company giving the gift is associated with the food industry. What better way to wish your customers or suppliers luck and prosperity for the future?
