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.
“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
Lifestylee.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.

Leather-Bound Journal and Fountain Pen
Lifestylee.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.

Airport Lounge Membership
Experiencee.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.

Bespoke Fragrance or Grooming Set
Wellnesse.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.

Private Dining or Chef Experience
Experiencee.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.

Premium Tech Accessory
Teche.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.
