    How much should you spend on corporate Christmas gifts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It sounds like a simple question until you’re trying to buy gifts for 20 employees, 100 clients or a handful of customers worth significantly more to your business than everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spend too little and the gift can feel like an afterthought. Spend too much and you’re left wondering whether you’ve gone overboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For most Australian businesses, around $30 to $150 per person is a practical starting point for corporate Christmas gifting<\/strong>. Larger gifting programs may sit below this, while key clients and VIP relationships can justify budgets of $150 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But there isn’t a perfect dollar amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A thoughtful $40 gift someone genuinely uses can make a much better impression than a generic $150 hamper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The trick is working out who you’re gifting, what the relationship is worth and what you want the gift to achieve.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s how to set a corporate Christmas gift budget that makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How Much Should You Spend on a Corporate Christmas Gift?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As a general guide, Australian businesses could consider the following corporate Christmas gift budgets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Who You’re Gifting<\/strong><\/td>Suggested Budget Per Person<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    Large-scale gifting programs<\/td>$20\u2013$50<\/td><\/tr>
    Employees<\/td>$30\u2013$100<\/td><\/tr>
    General clients<\/td>$40\u2013$100<\/td><\/tr>
    Regular or high-value clients<\/td>$75\u2013$150<\/td><\/tr>
    Key accounts and VIP relationships<\/td>$150+<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    These aren’t hard rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A business buying Christmas gifts for 500 employees will naturally approach its budget differently from an account manager choosing gifts for their 10 biggest clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rather than finding one budget and applying it to everyone, match the investment to the relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Start With Who You’re Actually Gifting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before choosing products or setting a per-person budget, decide who genuinely needs to receive a Christmas gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You don’t necessarily need to send the same thing to every customer in your CRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For client gifting in particular, segmenting your recipients can make your budget work much harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
