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.

4Personalised GiftsEngraved plaques & keepsakes₹800 – ₹3,500Works only if the engraving says something specific.
- Your boss
- Retirement
- Before you buy: write the exact text first — names, dates and the one line that makes it theirs. Generic lines are what make these feel like office stock.
- Not for: someone who dislikes clutter and has nowhere to display things
5Gourmet & FoodTea & coffee gifts₹500 – ₹2,000Premium tea and coffee, gift sets, and the things to brew them.
- Your boss
- Retirement
- 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.
- Not for: someone who drinks one brand only and won't switch
