Common Questions About Appreciation Gifts Under $8

What are some appreciation gift ideas under $8?
Insulated tumblers keep a drink cold through an afternoon and carry a logo people see every day. Hardcover journals paired with a pen make a polished set. Lunch coolers are useful from day one. Belt bags and sling backpacks work for commuters and weekend errands alike. Bath salts or spa kits add a personal note. Pick five or six, request free samples, and they arrive before the recognition event so the team lead can pass them around.

Can we compare a few gifts before ordering for the whole team?
Yes, and you do not have to narrow it down first. Add several appreciation gifts to your sample basket from any product page, or call 800.378.6376. Samples arrive organized and ready to pass around so the team lead or HR manager can compare the feel and quality of each option before committing to one. Free samples ship to a business or organization address.

Can these gifts carry our logo?
Most items on this page accept a custom imprint, from a one-color logo on a tumbler to a full-color print on a journal cover. Imprint details, available colors and setup charges are listed on each product page. A few items ship unimprinted.

How far ahead should we order?
Three to four weeks before the event covers production and shipping on most items. Rush options are available on select products if the timeline is tighter. Call 800.378.6376 to confirm turnaround for a specific item and quantity.

What is the minimum order?
Minimums vary by product and typically start between 25 and 250 pieces. The product page for each gift lists its minimum. For large recognition programs, per-piece pricing drops as quantity increases.
