Why gift baskets anchor the Mexican corporate-gift tradition
The Mexican corporate-gift tradition runs on gift baskets. The Christmas / end-of-year corporate-gift season (November to early January) is the largest single program window in the calendar and gift baskets are the dominant piece. The Día de las Madres corporate-gift window (April to early May) and the Día del Padre corporate-gift window (June) are the secondary peaks. The Día del Maestro (May 15), the Secretaría de Educación Pública teacher-recognition window, is a third peak in the public-sector calendar.
The artisan-curated gift basket carries a NOM-251 food-labelling declaration on every perishable item, an LFPCA warranty card on the basket and a NOM-050 environmental-claim documentation when the packaging carries a recycled-content or "ecológico" claim. The mexican-themed gift basket (mezcal + chocolate + mole + coffee) is the default for the executive-gift program; the Oaxacan-craft variant is the artisanal upgrade; the executive-tier leather-and-pen kit is the C-level upgrade.
