How to Budget for Corporate Holiday Gifts

When exploring gift ideas for employees on a budget, it’s tempting to choose the cheapest items in the inventory to save costs, but these may negatively reflect on your brand if they fade or fall apart. However, overspending on elaborate gifts is not worth it if if forces you to make cuts elsewhere.

The amount you spend on employee holiday gifts depends on the number of holidays or gifting opportunities in the year and the size of your staff. Observations you may want to celebrate include Christmas, Valentine’s, Juneteenth, Easter, Halloween and company-specific milestones, such as anniversaries.

Once you make a realistic budget, stick to it. For example, you can cap the holiday gifting budget for entry-level employees at $30 and management-level team members at $50. You may incentivize newcomers to stick around longer until they get to the level where they receive high-end or luxurious gifts.
