In this guide we tell you how to build a corporate Christmas food gift that really works, with eight customisable proposals designed for different budgets and different needs.
Why food for corporate gifts
Food is a universal language. Unlike a tech gadget that quickly becomes obsolete, or a stationery item that ends up in a drawer, a gourmet gift is consumed, shared and creates a positive memory linked to your brand.
Artisan Cilento products add value: they tell a story, enhance Made in Italy and communicate care and attention in the choice. Nothing further from the anonymous supermarket hamper.
Tax advantages of corporate gifts (Italy)
Gifts to clients and employees are tax deductible within certain limits in Italy:
- Gifts to clients: 100% deductible if unit value up to €50 (entertainment expenses up to 1.3% of revenue).
- Gifts to employees: tax-free for the employee if not exceeding €258.23 total per year (2025/2026 threshold).
- VAT: deductible if the unit cost is less than €50.
Always keep invoices and recipient lists for correct accounting. Tax rules vary by country: check local regulations.
