Leadership appreciation week

Directors, VPs, founders. Who recognises the people at the top?

Q4 has just started and leadership is carrying the full weight of year-end targets. They are rarely on the receiving end of formal recognition — most systems are designed to flow recognition downward. This week reverses that, even briefly.

Sample card messageCopy

“You set the direction all year. This one's from the company back to you.”

Best sent: First week of October — Q4 kickoff

RibiPeople Choice Reward

The message from the board or the team does more work than the card. Pair a personal, specific note with a value that reflects the weight of what they carry. The sender and the message matter most this week.

6 gift ideas for leadership appreciation week.

Curated Spirits or Wine Gift Set

Curated Spirits or Wine Gift Set

Lifestyle

e.g. Glenlivet, Johnnie Walker Blue, or craft set

Properly curated, not a supermarket bottle. A set that reflects taste and occasion — the gift that says the company knows the difference and made the distinction on purpose.

$60 – $180Senior leadership
Leather-Bound Journal and Fountain Pen

Leather-Bound Journal and Fountain Pen

Lifestyle

e.g. Quality leather journal and premium pen

For the person who has everything practical. Deliberate, classic, desk-worthy. The kind of gift that is still in use a decade later — the opposite of forgettable.

$50 – $120Senior leadership
Airport Lounge Membership

Airport Lounge Membership

Experience

e.g. Priority Pass or equivalent

They travel. This makes every trip meaningfully better — not once, but every time. Practical luxury that compounds with each use. The gift that keeps giving through Q4 and beyond.

$100 – $250Senior leadership
Bespoke Fragrance or Grooming Set

Bespoke Fragrance or Grooming Set

Wellness

e.g. Premium fragrance brand

Personal, premium, and considered. The category that says someone thought about this person specifically, not just their role. The gift that is entirely for them.

$60 – $150Senior leadership
Private Dining or Chef Experience

Private Dining or Chef Experience

Experience

e.g. Private dining event or chef-at-home

Not a restaurant voucher. An actual private dining experience — a chef, an evening, a table for the people who matter to them. The gift for someone who has eaten everywhere and remembers the stories behind the meals.

$200 – $500C-suite and founders
Premium Tech Accessory

Premium Tech Accessory

Tech

e.g. Bang & Olufsen speaker or leather tech set

The accessory tier of tech — quality without being a gadget. A speaker that becomes a fixture in their office or home, a leather cable organiser, a premium stand. The gift that improves the environment they work in every day.
