Corporate Gifts Under ₹500 for Employees

Good corporate gifts under ₹500 are things people use at their desk every day: a mouse pad, a notebook, a metal pen, a steel bottle, a desk plant or a cable organiser. They cost ₹150 to ₹499 each, need no size, suit every age, and still look like a real gift when you hand them out to a whole team. Skip sweets boxes and dry fruit if you want the gift to be remembered after the week is over.

Front: the gift and a typical price. Tap to see why it works at work, and the catch.

Vegan leather mouse pad₹499Tap to flip

A5 hardbound notebook₹200–350Tap to flip

Why it works: everyone still takes notes in meetings.

The catch: most offices already have a cupboard full. Pick a good paper weight.

Metal ballpoint pen₹150–300Tap to flip

Why it works: small, cheap to send, feels heavier than its price.

The catch: easy to lose, so it is forgotten fast.

Steel water bottle₹300–450Tap to flip

Why it works: sits on the desk all day and goes home in the bag.

The catch: bulky to courier to remote staff.

Small desk plant₹150–250Tap to flip

Why it works: brightens a desk and people get attached to it.

The catch: hard to ship, and it dies over a long holiday.

Cable organiser clips₹100–150Tap to flip

Why it works: fixes the charger-falling-off-the-desk problem.

The catch: on its own it looks thin as a gift. Pair it with a pen.

Prices other than ours are typical online prices in India and change by brand.

Gift by team

One gift for the whole company is easier. If you split by team, this is what tends to get used.

When to order corporate gifts

Most employee gifts go out at four points in the year. Order early, because a team order is never only one parcel.

How to choose gifts for employees under ₹500

Pick something used at the desk. A gift that sits on the desk is seen every day. A gift that goes in a drawer is forgotten by Monday.

Keep one price for everyone. Different gifts at different prices start comparisons. Same budget, choice of colour, works better.

Let people choose a colour. Our leather pad comes in Royal Blue, Slate Charcoal and Stone Grey, so a team can pick without you buying three different gifts.

Skip food for a team gift. Sweets are welcome on the day and gone the next. Mix a desk gift with a small sweet box if you want both.

Think about remote staff. Light, flat gifts are cheaper and safer to courier to home addresses than bottles or plants.

Our mouse pad as an employee gift

The round vegan leather mouse pad is ₹499: 23 cm across, 1.3 mm thin, stitched all round, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth. It works with a laptop or a full-size mouse and fits on a crowded desk. We also make a chambray fabric version at ₹599 in Ash Grey and Sage Green if your budget stretches. See both on our mouse pads page, or read cloth vs leather mouse pad to choose.
