Employee Appreciation
Around the Office
It doesn't take a huge budget to make an employee feel special! Show appreciation for your workers with these unique gift ideas.
- Personalized Office Artwork - Does your employee have a quote they love? A state they're proud to rep? A university they root for? Search for free printables online and frame the artwork for their office or desk.
- Snack Basket - Fill a basket with your employee's favorite snacks and drinks to keep their fridge stocked. You can also include a gift card to a nearby restaurant for a lunch break treat if it's in your budget.
- Step Counters - Keep your employees healthy and bring the office together by purchasing step-counting devices and challenging your office to a fitness competition for the new year. This gift is fun and practical.
- Streaming Subscription - Do your employees like to jam along while they work? Buy the office a subscription for Spotify or Apple Music and keep the tunes flowing all year long!
- Office Productivity Basket - A pair of noise-canceling headphones, a nice notebook and pens, a new coffee mug — the possibilities are endless to make your employees feel more at ease around the office.
- Break Room Reading - Subscribe to some favorite magazines and industry publications so employees will have something to look forward to as they take a well-deserved break. You could also include some favorite business books or best-selling novels.
- Company Totes - Monogram totes or laptop bags (and include the company logo) so your employees can feel stylish while repping the company brand as they haul their supplies in from home each day. Fill the bags with other company swag such as T-shirts and pens.
