While there isn't a set amount of money you should or shouldn't spend on your new employee, make sure your team member can tell that you went out of your way to get them something they'll love. Personalized gifts are thoughtful ways to do this because often, you will have to order them ahead of time to ensure they are delivered in time for your employee's first day. Show your new employee that they are valued by getting them a gift that isn't generic or able to be bought at the last minute.
