A new hire’s first day shapes their impression of your company. A thoughtful welcome kit waiting at their desk can help them feel included before they send their first email. For remote employees, a kit delivered to their door creates a tangible connection with their new team.
Here is how to choose useful items, plan your budget and organise employee onboarding kits in bulk.
What to include by budget tier
Start with your budget per employee and choose items that suit your team’s daily routine. The following ranges are planning guides, not confirmed CorGifting prices. Final costs depend on product selection, quantity, packaging and customisation.
- Starter: ₹300 to ₹800: Consider a notebook, pen and personalised welcome card. Depending on your selections and quantity, explore adding a simple water bottle.
- Standard: ₹800 to ₹2,000: Build on the essentials with options such as branded apparel, drinkware or a useful desk accessory. Choose a combination that fits your budget.
- Premium: ₹2,000 to ₹4,000: Explore premium journals, quality drinkware or selected tech accessories with a personalised note and coordinated packaging.
Ask for an itemised quote so you know whether branding, packaging, shipping and applicable taxes are included.
Branding that works
Keep branding consistent and purposeful. A clear logo on selected items, coordinated colours and a thoughtful welcome card can create a professional presentation.
Personalisation can make the kit feel more considered. An employee’s name on a diary, bottle or card adds a personal touch without covering every item in logos.
Before production, review the artwork, spelling, logo placement and available printing or embroidery options.
How bulk ordering works
- Minimum order quantity: CorGifting’s minimum order quantity starts at 30 units. Confirm the requirements for your selected kit and customisation when requesting a quote.
- Product selection: Share your headcount, budget per employee and preferred items to help narrow down suitable combinations.
- Approval: Confirm the contents, branding, packaging and sample arrangements before production begins.
- Lead time: Production and dispatch timelines depend on quantity, product availability and customisation. Confirm the schedule against your employees’ joining dates.
- Shipping: Specify whether kits need to reach one office, several locations or individual employees. Confirm delivery coverage and charges upfront.
- Employee details: Collect the necessary delivery information, name spellings and apparel sizes early, with appropriate consent.
Common mistakes
Avoid these issues when planning your welcome kits:
- Choosing items that look impressive but have little everyday use.
- Adding large logos to every product.
- Ordering apparel without confirming sizes.
- Approving personalised items without checking name spellings.
- Leaving too little time for sampling, production and delivery.
- Comparing quotes without checking the contents, quality and included costs.
A smaller kit with useful, well-chosen items can make a better impression than a larger box filled with products employees will not use.
