As a company owner, I feel a $150 champagne/wine gift basket is actually better value than those gift vouchers.
Hear me out. A good bottle of wine like a Veuve Clicquot and some nice chocolates from Godiva or Kohler packed in a wooden gift box will make your employees way happier than the gift cards. Because gifting also has a certain emotion attached to it. Something physical that looks nice and has a feeling of celebration makes people happy.
The bottle sits on their shelf for weeks. They Instagram it. They tell everyone who gave it to them.
I only realized this recently when I sent out gift baskets for my employees. I made sure that each one had a personalized note with it. You can add it on some online gifting stores like Wine&ChampagneGifts website or Harry&David.
The memory-per-dollar ratio on a luxury gift basket is actually insane.
