Brightland's corporate gifting program is a great option if you have 10 or more people you are buying for.
Horween Leather Mousepad, $84.95, available at Nomad
Sure, something monogrammed with the company name is nice. But a company gift doesn't need to be so explicit either — and sometimes employees may appreciate the versatility of something timeless.

If you want to put your logo on it, Nomad has a corporate sales program.
Benevolent Brownies, $35, available at Uncommon Goods

Men's and Women's Merino Calf Sock 8-Pack, $151.20, available at Bombas
