The simplest way to show is by gifting them corporate baskets. This gift will express your grateful feelings in an elegant way.
The most difficult task is choosing the corporate gift with so many options available in the market. The corporate gift should be such that it would fulfill many needs, main is to grow your business, maintain good relation with your customer, and convey your thanks for the business received. While choosing the perfect corporate gifts, you need to know the following things:

First, find out the policy of your company for the corporate gifting. Some companies just do not believe in giving gifts. Some companies have a fixed budget for the gifts. If you know the amount to be spent to buy the gift then it becomes easier for you to choose.
Make your First Impression Your Best One:
While giving the gifts, packing it creatively is very important. The recipient will be impressed if the packing is good. It will reflect her importance to you. If the packaging is not good, then it will reflect your negligence. It will also denote that the thing packed inside is not good. No matter what the cost of the gift, it should be packed attractively.
Personalised cards:
Using cards with message written by you instead of a ready-made one, i.e. handing over the personalised cards to the clients shows appreciation and has a long-term effect.
Hand over gift personally:
It is always pleasant to receive the gift directly. Personally handing over the gift keeps the lasting impression on the person to whom you are giving the gift.

It is always better to know the differences in the cultures in different countries. Same thing have different symbols in different countries. In German, gifting red rose denotes romance, white gift-wrapping denotes death in China, gifting in four set denotes death. So be careful while planning corporate gift, know the customs and traditions of that country.
Know the wants:
Gifting the person what he needs is ideal. Choosing the gift as said earlier is very difficult and the risk factor is more in getting wrong gift. Gifting something wrong can spoil your relationship completely. To avoid this risk, find out the wants, interest or even hobbies of the person to whom you want to gift. One simple thing you can do to find this out is to call that person and just ask.
