You’re planning corporate gifts again. The same gift vouchers. The same branded mugs. The same complaints from employees.
What if your next gift lasted 365 days instead of one day?
Here’s what smart HR managers discovered. A ₹1000 bedsheet gets used every night. That’s ₹2.74 per day for your brand visibility. A ₹1000 gift voucher? Gone in one mall visit.
The Numbers Every HR Manager Should Know
Corporate gifting isn’t small business anymore. The market is worth ₹12,000 crores. It’s growing 200% every year.
But here’s the problem. Everyone gives the same gifts:
- Gift vouchers (24% of all gifts)
- Bags and luggage (16%)
- Stationery (15%)
Your employees already have five branded pens. They don’t need another notebook.
Average corporate gift budget: ₹500 to ₹2000 per person
Your competitors’ spending: Same range
The difference: What you choose to gift
Real Costs, Real Impact

Why Textiles Beat Traditional Gifts
The Utility Test Your employee uses a bedsheet every night. They see your company’s gesture daily. Compare that with a desk accessory they never touch.
The Family Factor A bedsheet goes home. The whole family uses it. Your brand reaches 4-5 people, not just one employee.
The Durability Advantage Quality cotton lasts 2-3 years minimum. That’s 730-1,095 days of appreciation. A gift voucher lasts one shopping trip.
The Surprise Element Nobody expects bedsheets. Everyone remembers unexpected gifts. Stand out from the gift voucher crowd.

A Personal Note from Vardhman Mills
We’ve been making textiles since 1983. We’ve seen gifting trends come and go. Electronic gifts were popular in the 2000s. Gift vouchers ruled the 2010s.
The 2020s are different. Employees want meaningful gifts. They appreciate utility over luxury. They remember thoughtfulness over expense.
Cotton textiles tick every box. Practical. Lasting. Surprising. Affordable.
