Corporate Gifts for Your Team: What Actually Gets Used
Written by MODI
The test of a corporate gift is simple: is it still in use in March? Branded notebooks, mugs and pens fail it almost every time. Things people carry every day — bags and glasses — pass it, because the gift stops being a gift and becomes part of the routine.
MODI works with Georgian companies on exactly this: screen glasses for teams that sit at monitors all day, and Italian bags as year-end or milestone gifts. Corporate discount, invoice payment, one contact person.
Two things that work, and why
Screen glasses — for the team
If your people spend the working day at a screen, this is a gift that reads as care rather than as branding. BARNER glasses are made in Barcelona, they do not look like safety equipment, and they come in prescription-ready frames as well as plain ones — so the same order covers people who need correction and people who do not.
It also works as an occupational-health gesture that costs a fraction of what a wellness programme does. From 195₾ per person.
Bags — for clients, partners and milestones
Italian BOMBATA laptop bags and Urbanite backpacks. These are the gifts that get carried into other companies' offices, which is the quiet part of why they work. From 145₾ for an Urbanite tote, 165₾ for a BOMBATA laptop bag, up to 290₾ for the Business line.
What it costs, by budget per person
| Budget per person | What that buys |
|---|---|
| up to 150₾ | Urbanite tote bag, or a reading/screen frame |
| 150–200₾ | BARNER screen glasses, or a BOMBATA laptop bag |
| 200–300₾ | Urbanite backpack, or the BOMBATA Business line |
| 300₾+ | Glasses + bag as a set, in one box |
All figures before the corporate discount.
How working with us differs from a retail order
- Corporate discount — 15%, applied automatically once your company account is set up.
- Payment by invoice. No corporate card needed; we issue the waybill and the invoice to your company details.
- One contact person for the whole order, rather than a shop assistant each time.
- Sizes and models can be mixed in one order — different people, different frames, one invoice.
Questions companies ask before ordering
What if a size or model does not suit someone?
Bring them into any of the four stores and exchange it. Glasses are personal, and a gift that does not fit is not a gift — we would rather do the exchange than have it sit unused.
Can employees choose for themselves?
Yes, and it works better than choosing for them. The usual arrangement: you set a budget per person, we hand out a code or a list, and each person picks their own frame in-store. You still get one invoice.
How much notice do you need?
For stock models, a few days. For a large order or a specific model in a specific colour across many people, allow two to three weeks — some items come from Barcelona or Italy on order.
Is there a minimum quantity?
No formal minimum. In practice the corporate terms make sense from about ten people; below that a normal purchase is simpler for everyone.
Can you deliver outside Tbilisi?
Yes, across Georgia. We also have a store in Batumi if it is easier to collect there.
When to start
If this is for the New Year, September and October are the right months to decide. Not for the discount — because the specific model and colour you want has to be in stock for the whole headcount, and by December the popular frames are the first to run out.
Write to info@modi.shopping with your headcount and budget per person, and we will come back with two or three concrete options and a total. Or see the corporate page.
