Fun Team-Building Gift Boxes and Experiences for Remote Employees (2021)
Posted by Timothy Paradis
Having a strong team spirit in the digital office is the first step to building a better company. Camaraderie and cooperation can lead to more effective collaboration across team members or departments in your business, especially with more remote employees following the pandemic, and team-building gifts are one tool you can use unite your team beyond a tote bag with a company logo. The best team-building gifts build employee morale, promote teamwork, and make every day a good day to do some fulfilling, hard work.
It's not easy finding the right morale-boosting gift for your remote workers While company-branded stainless steel tumblers, water bottles, and power banks can help with building a team identity and Amazon gift cards are okay for a quick pick-me-up, they've been done. They don't exactly show appreciation in that personalized gift-giving way. You can do better. This year, choose genuinely creative company swag that makes your employees feel seen.
We put together employee appreciation gifts that boost team spirit through experiences and show your staff appreciation from wherever their desks are.

"We were gifted a 3 month subscription and the first package arrived last week. My husband, at first, was skeptical. That changed when told him the cocktail was a bourbon one. There was ample syrup and rim dip for more than four drinks, and given we’re lightweights, we extended the four portions of bourbon to eight delicious drinks. We shared with friends, which added to the enjoyment. Anxious for next month’s delivery!" -G.
