Business Gift Ideas … When Your Budget is REALLY Tight

So you’ve only got so much to spend? No worries.

If your budget is small, avoid gift cards or cash, and aim for gifts that pack a punch when it comes to value. For example, a bottle of wine may cost less than $10, but its value seems more to the recipient.  Your budget will spread further that way.
