Worth knowing: For a boss, a modest gift, or one from the whole team, reads better than an expensive gift from you alone. Gifts tend to flow down, not up. Buying for a whole team or many clients? See bulk orders with your branding.

- Coffee or tea lover
- Before you buy: ask how they brew: whole beans need a grinder, and ground coffee must suit their method — coarse for a French press, fine for espresso.

- Traveller
- Before you buy: pick the size for how they actually travel: a cabin trolley for short flights, a check-in suitcase for long trips. Airlines limit cabin bags by size and weight, so check the airline they fly most.

How this list is made: only two hard rules — it stays within your budget and never shows what you asked to avoid. Everything else ranks rather than removes, each pick shows which of your answers it matched, and nobody pays to appear here. How GiftScene works
