If you’re tired of spending dollar after dollar on employee gifts destined for dust collection in a dark closet, you’re in the right place! This is the best list of corporate gift ideas with thought and originality, so you can keep your workforce happy as you head into 2022.
Without further ado, are you ready to become a gifting guru? You’ll become manager of the year in no time!
Gift 1: Branded calendars
Whether they’re working remotely or in the office, your workers need to know their schedules so they can plan each week. They can also free up some quality time for things they love doing without interrupting their work life. Buy branded calendars in bulk and mail them out. As a little extra, you could pack a secret stash of desk treats, like cereal bars, chocolate, or hot drink sachets.
Gift 2: Face Masks
Thanks to the likes of COVID-19, you can never be too safe in the office or anywhere you go. Face masks make the perfect gift for your employees, and you can even personalize them to step up your game. Add a joke or a funny quote, or a reference to their favorite TV show.
Gift 3: Noise Cancelling Headphones
Put yourself in your workers’ shoes for just a minute. Whether you’re working in a busy and noisy office or at home with lots going on in the background, noise-canceling headphones are a great gift. Your workers can focus on what they’re doing. They can focus more and get more done with their day.
Gift 4: Remote Work Survival Kits
With unpredictable lockdown rules, you can never be under-prepared with remote work survival kits. They have everything an employee would need to stay happy and do their best work from home. You could pack things like hot chocolates and a mug, baked goodies, an inspirational quote, and maybe a mini bottle of gin to take the edge off!
Gift 5: Beer, Wine, or Spirits
2021 has been almost as treacherous as 2020 was – need we say more? Your employees deserve a stiff drink to bid farewell to 2021 and welcome a new and (hopefully!) more exciting year. Remember that not everyone drinks the same poison, and some may not drink at all, so do your research and ask around first.
Gift 6: Top of the Range Back Massagers
If your employees are stuck at their desks for 90% of their day, they’ll thank you for a top-of-the-range back massager! When you’re suffering the constant ache of being slumped over a computer all day, believe us, nothing else quite compares.
Gift 7: Gift Cards
And lastly, when nothing else seems to fit the bill, your safest bet is gift cards. Buying them for employees may even entitle you to some form of discount, even if it is a small discount. You can pop them into thank you cards for each worker and surprise them with the greatest gift of all: the choice of anything they want. It’s a win-win!
