In an August 22, 2022 article, the company compared a single selected item with a choice of two to nine products and a larger selection of ten or more. A uniform gift was described as simpler to customize, but it requires a committed quantity and a decision on workplace distribution or individual delivery. A limited selection gives recipients more input while adding ordering and inventory decisions. AllStar noted that custom products can involve minimum quantities and restrictions on returns, while apparel introduces size and fit considerations. For broader catalogs, the company described suppliers handling recipient selection through a website, generally with less scope for product customization. It advised employers to confirm how that particular supplier handles inventory and delivery. AllStar also recommended gathering structured employee feedback, using appropriate gift packaging and including a personal note from a manager or company leader. Recipients should have a clear contact for questions or order changes. The article encouraged August or September planning for holiday gifts, reflecting the supply-chain pressures discussed in 2022\. Its emphasis was on matching recipient choice with realistic procurement and delivery arrangements. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Employee Holiday Gifts: Best Practices](https://allstarincentives.com/employee-holiday-gifts-best-practices/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — All Star Incentives ## In this article ### Companies * [AllStar](https://giftcard.news/company/allstar/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fallstar-outlines-employee-holiday-gift-sourcing-and-fulfillment-choices-3318180c3c8e%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=AllStar%20outlines%20employee%20holiday%20gift%20sourcing%20and%20fulfillment%20choices "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fallstar-outlines-employee-holiday-gift-sourcing-and-fulfillment-choices-3318180c3c8e%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=AllStar%20outlines%20employee%20holiday%20gift%20sourcing%20and%20fulfillment%20choices%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fallstar-outlines-employee-holiday-gift-sourcing-and-fulfillment-choices-3318180c3c8e%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Emma Carter](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/emma-carter-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Emma Carter](https://giftcard.news/author/emma-carter/) Journalist — Retail & E-commerce Emma Carter covers retail, e-commerce and the gift card shopping experience for Gift Card News.
