Short answer
Corporate gifts come in ranges: one useful branded item, a more substantial item or small set, a three-piece box, a four-piece kit and a premium box. The price depends on quantity, branding technique, colors or positions, packaging, lead time and whether delivery is per person or per office. Lemon Creativo (Santo Domingo) confirms it in the quote within 24–48 hours.

Request quoteWhat can you give in each range?
Each range has its typical item. This table uses real products from our catalog and shows what moves the price most in each case. The exact price is confirmed in the quote, within 24–48 hours.
| Range | What fits | Real examples | Usually for | What changes in the quote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Useful item | One useful item with your logo, or with the logo and the person's name | Branded pen · 11 oz white mug · metal keychain · metal pin | Whole team, events, campaigns | Quantity and the number of logo colors |
| More substantial item | A more substantial everyday item, or a small set | Cork-base mug with lid · double-canopy automatic umbrella · round glass plaque · 24 oz Owala-style tumbler · wellness and productivity kit | Team on special dates, recognition, partners | The technique (laser engraving, full color, one color) and whether it carries each person's name |
| Set or three-piece box | A set or a three-piece box with careful packaging | Bamboo mug gift box · Dominican rum box · 3-piece executive set with planner, pen and insulated tumbler · new-hire welcome kit | Clients, new hires, partners | Which items go in, the box and the card |
| Four-piece kit | A four-piece kit or a seasonal box with a more polished presentation | Christmas trunk · 4-piece gift box with planner, pen, USB drive and bottle · Whisky box without tumbler | Clients, middle management | How many items are branded and in how many logo positions |
| Premium box | A premium box with top-level presentation | Company anniversary kit · Whisky box with tumbler · Whisky box · Dominican premium trunk | Key clients, leadership, partners | Special packaging, name engraving and per-person delivery |
The cork-base mug with lid has been our most-ordered product since 2025, and three-piece gift boxes are also among our most-ordered items. Not because of price: because people use them every day.
How do you choose corporate gifts on a tight budget?
Pick one useful item instead of a box of small ones, and put the budget where the relationship matters most. A well-made mug or tumbler that gets used daily does more for your brand than a crowded box that ends up in a drawer.
Three rules that help:
- Usefulness over quantity. One piece people use beats three they don't.
- Discreet branding. A clean logo gets used; a loud one stays home.
- Premium only where it counts. Save the higher tier for the people who will remember it.
How big is a typical order, in practice?
Smaller than most people think. In our operations, the median quantity is 15 units, and half of all orders are between 4 and 50 units.
15 cork-base mugs for the team or 15 three-piece executive sets for clients: both are normal orders. You don't need a big budget to give well.
Should you set the budget per person or as a total?
Per person, within each group. Starting from a total and splitting it blindly means your team and your most important client get the same thing.
The simplest method uses three tiers:
- Courtesy: most of the list. One useful, well-made item.
- Standard: clients and employees you want to look after. A solid, well-presented box.
- Premium: strategic accounts, leadership, key recognition. Top-level personalization and packaging.
Count the people in each tier, pick one item per tier and request the quote with that structure. An example:
| Tier | People | Item | What changes in the quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Courtesy | 40 | Cork-base mug with lid | Quantity: with 40 people, every change in technique or packaging shows in the total |
| Standard | 10 | Dominican rum box | The box, the card and the logo engraving |
| Premium | 3 | Whisky box with tumbler | Special packaging and each person's name |
| Total | 53 | Three items, one per tier | A single quote with a subtotal per tier and a total |
The quote gives you the subtotal for each tier and the total. That way you take a justified number to management, not a round figure nobody can explain.
What drives the price of a corporate gift?
The price has four parts: product, branding, packaging and service. When you compare quotes, check that they all include the same things. This is what moves it most:
- Quantity: the setup for the branding technique is spread over more pieces in a larger batch.
- Branding: the technique changes the price. One-color printing doesn't cost the same as full color, embroidery or laser engraving, and each extra logo color or position adds to it.
- Packaging: box, card, filler. It's what makes a gift look cared for.
- Lead time: tell us when you need it and we confirm which items and techniques fit that date.
- Delivery: one drop-off point is not the same as delivery per person or per office. If you're delivering to many addresses, treat it as a separate line.
- ITBIS: check whether each quote includes the Dominican VAT or adds it on top; otherwise you're comparing different numbers.
Also leave a margin for surprises, such as someone joining the list the week of delivery.
What if the budget doesn't stretch far enough?
Adjust the scope, not the quality. A poorly made item with your logo says more about your brand than no gift at all. These are the levers, in the order they usually help most:
- Fewer items in the box: two well-chosen pieces instead of four.
- Simpler packaging for the courtesy tier, with special packaging only for premium.
- A different branding technique: one color instead of full color, when the design allows it.
- A shorter list: give better gifts to the people who truly matter.

How we fit the proposal to your budget
Procurement teams often ask us to price each product separately, and rightly so. That's why your quote arrives within 24–48 hours with itemized pricing (product, branding, packaging and service) and a mockup of your brand. You can trim where it shows least without touching what matters.
When the numbers don't add up, we tell you and suggest the scope adjustment that works best for that group. We don't lower quality to hit a price.
If you are still choosing who to work with, our guide on how to choose a corporate gifts supplier covers what to ask any vendor. If your company is based abroad, read the one on suppliers for foreign companies in the DR. And if the budget is for Christmas, see also company Christmas gifts.
All options by occasion are on our types of corporate gifts by goal page. Request your quote with the quantity per group and the amount per person: we reply within 24–48 hours with options that fit your budget.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a corporate gift cost per person?
It depends on the item, quantity, branding technique, packaging and delivery method. Tell us the budget per person for each group and within 24–48 hours we send options that fit that amount, with a mockup and itemized pricing. The median quantity of our orders is 15 units.
What does the quote include?
Itemized pricing (product, branding, packaging and service), ITBIS (the Dominican VAT) and the exact total, with a mockup of your brand. We send it within 24–48 hours.
Is there a minimum order?
There's no fixed number. Glass plaques can be made from a single unit, and items with simple branding (mugs, pens, tumblers) from a few units, per the product page. Half of our orders fall between 4 and 50 units; we confirm the quantity in the quote.
What if my budget doesn't cover what I want?
Adjust the scope, not the quality: fewer items in the box, simpler packaging, a different branding technique or a shorter list of recipients.
