It's a simple fact: businesses big and small simply cannot function without their dedicated employees and administrative professionals. The past couple of years, the country's workforce has had to shuffle around and change things up, but workers are still showing up and diligently getting the job done!
These times provide the perfect opportunity to send unique employee gifts to help boost morale, show your staff appreciation, and keep your hardworking team connected while working from home (or returning to the office). Instead of just the usual employee appreciation ideas––no gift cards here––we set out to create a gift guide of original employee appreciation gift ideas that reward hard work with a little fun.
Recognize your employees' contribution (whether it's Employee Appreciation Day or not) and motivate them to keep moving forward by sending gifts with a personal touch. From artisan chocolates to hands-on fun and games, send your valued team members monthly acts of appreciation like a boss! And if you work for yourself or keep your home running smoothly on the daily, go ahead and treat yourself with these great gifts that say, "Thanks for all you do!"
The best employee appreciation gifts
The Adults & Crafts Crate
Getting hands-on with The Adults & Crafts Crate can be a great way to destress, making it a great employee appreciation gift box, particularly for team members who are adjusting to remote work. Bringing an all-inclusive monthly craft experience, including materials, tools and how-to's, get on Zoom for a team-building session where you create DIY decor projects to spruce up those home offices.
Finders Seekers Mysteries
Remind your team members that life's not supposed to be "all work and no play" with a mystery to solve in their off hours! Finders Seekers is the perfect gift to help make that point by encouraging them to spend time with family and friends in a one-of-a-kind game night experience. Each monthly box immerses players into an intriguing mystery set in a new city and culture, then puts their code-breaking and puzzle-solving skills to the test!
