Handcrafted Corporate Gifts & Sustainable Corporate Gifting Solutions

Why choose handmade corporate gifts over branded merchandise?

Handmade corporate gifts get displayed and remembered; branded merchandise usually gets forgotten in a drawer. A corporate gift serves a relationship function, while promotional merchandise serves brand awareness — and around 60% of Indian recipients prefer locally-made gifts (attribute source). A handcrafted Dhokra art memento or a hand-painted copper bottle signals thought over volume, and supports India’s artisan communities rather than a factory line.

How much should companies spend on corporate gifts in India?

Most Indian companies spend ₹500–₹2,000 per gift, with the majority of corporate gifts falling in the ₹1,000–₹5,000 range (attribute). Dirums offers handmade options across every band: for all-employee gifting in the ₹500–₹2,000 range, terracotta drinkware, wooden pen stands, and handcrafted diaries work well; for regular clients at ₹1,000–₹3,500, hand-painted copper bottles and Dhokra showpieces hit the sweet spot; and for high-value or CXO gifting from ₹2,000 up to ₹16,000, Bastar brass mementos and larger Dhokra art pieces leave a lasting impression.

What are the best corporate gifts for each occasion?

The main corporate gifting occasions in India are Diwali (Oct–Nov), employee onboarding, work anniversaries, Holi (March), and Raksha Bandhan (August), plus awards and milestones. For festive campaigns see our Diwali corporate gifts collection; for recognition events, our handcrafted corporate mementos.

FAQ

What is corporate gifting?

Corporate gifting is the practice of giving gifts to employees, clients, partners, or vendors to strengthen professional relationships, show appreciation, and build brand goodwill. Unlike promotional merchandise (a logo pen for brand awareness), a corporate gift serves a relationship function.

Are corporate gifts taxable in India?

Corporate gifts can generally be claimed as a business expense when tied to business promotion. Under GST, gifts to an employee up to ₹50,000 in a financial year are not treated as a taxable supply, and input tax credit is generally not available on goods given as gifts. Confirm specifics with your chartered accountant.

What are the best handmade corporate gifts for employees?

Popular handmade corporate gifts include Dhokra and Bastar brass mementos, hand-painted copper bottles, terracotta drinkware, wooden pen stands, and handcrafted diaries — displayable and useful, unlike disposable swag.

Are your gifts eco-friendly?

Yes. Every gift is handmade from natural, renewable materials by Indian artisans — a genuine choice for companies seeking sustainable corporate gifts that avoid single-use plastic swag.

Can you curate gift hampers to our budget and add our logo?

(Keep only if hampers actually exist — else drop this Q.) Yes, we curate personalised gift sets to your theme and budget, with logo branding and custom packaging.

How long do bulk orders take?

Typically 7–15 business days depending on size and customisation; plan 3–4 weeks ahead for Diwali.
