Part I of Corporate Gift Giving Guidelines covers what to avoid when giving a business gift. See below for basic, yet very critical, guidelines:

• Not too extravagant. You do not want the recipient to feel uncomfortable accepting the gift or feel obligated to you in any way. Also, many companies have limits on the value of a gift that their employees can accept.

• No religious items unless you know the person very well. These items are very personal and you do not want to offend anyone by giving them something that goes against their beliefs.

• No bath or spa products unless given by a female to a female. In any other circumstance, these items are just too personal for a business gift and may be misconstrued.

• No items with a heart motif or anything representing love.

• No risqu? calendars or printed items. Many companies have policies banning this type of thing from the work place. Actually, all companies should have this policy because displaying items like this in the work place can be viewed as sexual harassment and could get a company in a heap of legal trouble.

• No apparel or logo items with obscene motifs or wording.

• No apparel or logo items that can be construed as racist.

• No alcohol
