A Corporate Gifting List: Easy to Share, Presentable, Budget-Friendly
For the office, prioritize individually wrapped, shelf-stable, well-boxed items with enough pieces — a few hundred yen each is the easy range.
1. Individually wrapped shelf-stable sweets
The safest category: famous confections, baked sweets, and rice crackers usually come in individually wrapped boxes of a dozen or more — set it in the break room for people to take. Pick longer best-before dates so it survives a weekend.
2. Teabags and single-serve drinks
Boxed teabags of regional sencha, hojicha, or genmaicha — or single-serve soups — are cheap per unit, easy to divide, and keep for ages. Good for a large office on a tight budget.
3. Small craft items (for specific people)
To separately thank a manager or senior who's helped you, add a tenugui cloth, a small plate, or a metalwork piece — affordable yet refined. Give it apart from the shared box so the gesture reads clearly.

FAQ
What's a reasonable office gifting budget?
A few hundred yen per individually wrapped piece is common for sharing; a full box lands around a few thousand yen. Add a separate item to thank a manager.
How many pieces should I buy?
Count your team, then add 2–3 spares so no one is missed. Individually wrapped boxes make it easy to adjust the count.
