Building a gifting programme for a Portuguese team means thinking about branded merchandise a little differently than in countries with a fixed tax-free allowance. There's no set euro amount to aim for here, so the focus shifts to what actually works: broadly-distributed, genuinely useful items that make sense as a company gift regardless of the exact number on the price tag.

How these fit into Portugal's tax rules
Worth noting: none of the above is "tax-free" by virtue of being on this list. Portugal doesn't have a statutory exemption for employee gifts the way several other European countries do, so the value of any gift you give staff is something to think through with your accountant, not something a product list can settle on its own. For the full breakdown of how Portuguese tax law treats employee gifts, cash and vouchers, and the separate, more defined VAT rule for client gifts, see Are Employee Gifts Tax-Free in Portugal? The Honest Answer.
