Whether you lead a team of five or supervise thousands in offices across the country, you know that your employees are indispensable. You will surely agree that for their efforts, in addition to their monthly salary and possible bonus, they also deserve thanks in a different sense of the word.
This year, replace boring and cheap business gifts for your employees with these actually useful alternatives that are perfect for the holidays. Customize them with the colors of your company, logo, or personal note that will truly express your gratitude.
Whether or not your business operates from home, we hope these gifts will help you stay connected both with your business and with each other.
Our home is where each of us feels most safe and relaxed. So why not use your gifts to make the Christmas holidays even more comfortable and peaceful for your employees? Surprise them with handy products that will turn their home into a perfect holiday haven.
A pair of slippers made of soft felt is exactly what each of us needs during a cold winter morning. The comfort of walking around the house while doing even the most unimportant chores is definitely essential. And you’ll also want to make sure that the evening is also something special – surprise your employees with a personalized mug made of eco friendly materials and a warm blanket that will keep them warm while watching Christmas movies.
Nothing gets us into the Christmas spirit more than the wonderful ornaments and decorations we encounter during the holidays. Glittering lights, wreaths and candles – all this creates the perfect atmosphere, which makes the holidays even more special.
The most important part of Christmas decoration is definitely the Christmas tree – but maybe it’s time for a spruce tree that is neither plastic nor cut down? Spiral wooden New Year’s tree is made of wood, and is easy to assemble at the same time. Alternatively, you can opt for a smaller version of the beloved tree that finds its home in a flower pot. To finish off your gift, add a wooden postcard with laser-cut motifs, which you can extract and fold into cute ornaments!
Because we all find ourselves at home towards the end of the year, we often meet extended family or friends, even if only for a short time in order to share the experiences of the past year, surprise ourselves with gifts, or simply enjoy each other’s company.
Make sure your employees pass on your gratitude – they may treat their guests to some cheese using a cheese set you’ve gifted them, or pour them a glass of cold wine with the help of your gift. They may also surprise their friends with a small gift as a token of appreciation – the Sprout pencil with spruce seeds is the perfect Christmas freebie.
The smell of cookies, hearty dinners and delicious wine are just three of the many goodies we indulge in at Christmas time. And why not? After all, it’s a time of celebration and joy – and nothing puts us in as good a mood as food does, right?
Inspire your employees with gifts in the form of kitchen goodies – with a personalized apron with their own name or a brand new oven mitten, you are sure to convince someone to test their cooking skills. However, in case these attempts fail, make sure they’re given a consolation prize – a packet of granola, which is extremely tasty on its own or in combination with yoghurt, is perfect for a festive snack.
After a long day, relaxed socializing with the family is some of the best times you can have. With a cup of hot chocolate in one hand and a smile on your face, we fall asleep much easier and enjoy a more peaceful night. However, so we don’t fall asleep too quickly, many of us choose to play board games.
There are plenty to choose from, and you can easily find a fit for everyone. You can choose between classics such as chess, which will take care of training the brain (as it becomes lazy in the winter months) or a tower game full of laughter, which tests the accuracy skills of each player. Of course, there are plenty of other games, even ones you’ve probably never heard of – and they’re often the best! The game Less is one of those that combines both brain power and fun.
