What makes a good welcome gift for a new employee?+
The best welcome gifts are useful, personal, and delivered before day one. Research consistently shows that choice-based gifts — where the hire picks what they want — outperform curated boxes on satisfaction, retention impact, and likelihood to be kept.
How much should I spend on a new employee welcome gift?+
Most companies spend between $75 and $200 per hire. Seniority often determines the budget — a common pattern is $75 for junior roles, $150 for mid-level, $200+ for senior or leadership hires. Any unused balance is returned after 90 days.
Can I send welcome gifts to remote employees?+
Yes — that's actually where SendaChoice excels. Remote hires rarely get the same welcome moment as in-office staff. A branded digital link or physical card delivered to their home is often more impactful than anything they'd receive in an office.
How quickly can I set this up?+
The order form takes about 10 minutes. From invoice payment, your hires receive their links within 48 hours. Physical cards add 5 business days for print and postage.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. There are no subscriptions or platform fees. You pay a flat $35 setup per hire, an optional $12 for a physical card, and you set the gift budget. That's it.
