Alternatives to Amazon Business for corporate gifts: where to go when you want a handmade gift rather than a listingAlternatives to Amazon Business for corporate gifts: where to go when you want a handmade gift rather than a listing

Where else companies buy gifts besides Amazon Business

Amazon Business is often the first place an admin team looks, because the account is already set up. When the gift should be something other than a product pulled from a listing, these are the alternatives in India:

1. A handmade maker that sells direct. One piece, made by the workshop you speak to. Raajkosh hand-pours soy wax candles in Jalandhar and takes corporate orders from 10 gifts, with your logo on the tag.
2. A corporate gifting company. It curates and packs boxes and handles branding and the recipient list.
3. A state emporium or artisan collective. For handloom, brass, pottery or regional craft.
4. A trusted local trader in your city. For mithai, dry fruits or a festive basket that one office collects.
5. Gift vouchers. For a team so mixed that no one item suits everyone.

What Amazon Business is generally used for

Amazon Business is the business side of a very large marketplace. Companies use it for a huge range of products, business accounts and buying many standard items in one checkout, from electronics to pantry stock. For gadgets, branded consumer goods, or a quick top-up of something your team already likes, it is hard to beat for range. We have not described its prices, policies or delivery times here; your account shows those for each listing.

When a listing is not the right shape for a gift

A marketplace is built to sell the same product to many buyers. That is ideal for a power bank and less so for a gift that should feel chosen. Consider a different route when:

• You want it handmade, and want to know who made it and where.
• You want branding on the gift, on the tag, a card or a seal, rather than a plain parcel.
• Each gift should arrive as a gift, with a company note, at each person's address.
• You want one person to answer for the whole order, rather than several sellers.

We have written more on this in the downsides of ordering corporate gifts from marketplaces.

Our terms, and the orders Amazon Business handles better

Orders start at 10 gifts, with no minimum order value. Your logo can go on the gift tag, the note card or a wax seal, and the exact options and the timeline are confirmed in your quote. You get a GST invoice with your company's name, address and GSTIN. We deliver across India, to one office or to every address on a list. Orders are prepaid as set out in the quote, with no cash on delivery. Branded gifts cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged, defective or wrong; report damage within 24 hours of delivery.

Stay with Amazon Business if you need electronics, standard branded goods, office supplies with the gifts, or a fast restock of an item you already know. We make one thing, by hand, and we confirm the timeline in a quote rather than at checkout.
