Client & Partner Gifts: The Corporate Gift Tier List
Share
Corporate gifting goes wrong in two directions: gifts so cheap they embarrass, and gifts so expensive they create obligation. A tier list solves both — match the recipient's relationship value to a price band and keep the whole program consistent. Lightyear24's corporate range runs $79.99–$199.
The Four Tiers
Tier 1 — Working contacts ($79.99–$99.99): tasteful, useful, no obligation. Tier 2 — Key clients ($99.99–$139.99): distinguishable from Tier 1 but still desk-appropriate. Tier 3 — Partners and executives ($139.99–$199): statement pieces that carry presence. Tier 4 — Bulk programs: same pieces at volume pricing with free logo engraving — see the Wholesale Partnership page.

Tier 1 — Bronze Sailboat Ornament — $79.99
Pure copper on a brass base — the universally safe client gift that looks like it cost more. Shop the Bronze Sailboat.
Tier 1 — Cloisonné Enamel Painting — $89.99
Handcrafted enamel — distinctive, non-generic, and flat enough to display anywhere. Shop the Cloisonné Painting.

Black walnut and beech, rotating and engravable — functional, so it stays on the desk. Shop the Globe Calendar.
Tier 2 — Magnetic Levitation Moon Lamp — $123

Tier 3 — Levitating Edison Bulb — $139.99

FAQ
Should every recipient get the same gift?
Tiers keep a program consistent without sending the same object to everyone — two to three pieces per tier is enough variety.
Can we add our logo?
For bulk orders, custom engraving of your company logo and personalized text is included free, with content evaluated per product. Retail personalization is text-only.
How early should corporate gifts be ordered?
Two to three weeks before the event: wholesale preparation takes 5–7 business days, and air-freight delivery is estimated at roughly 7–12 business days.
The Bottom Line
The corporate tier list at Lightyear24: Tier 1 from $79.99, Tier 2 from $99.99, Tier 3 from $139.99, with bulk logo engraving available through the wholesale program. Match tier to relationship, and the program stays defensible.
