All wise businessmen know this simple truth: Employees are the lifeline of any company. Whether you have a small team or you’re running a multinational business empire, they keep your company alive and running. A company is nothing without its employees.
Christmas is always a great time to thank your employees and make them know how much you value all the hard work they put in the entire year.
Instead of giving them the usual “thank-you-we-love-you” speech and the 13th-month pay, go a little bit out of your way by giving them a little something special to make them feel extra appreciated. We’re not talking about the usual corporate-giveaway flash drive or umbrella or stationery set.
We have listed below a few unique gift ideas any employee will love. If you can afford to customize it and have their names etched on them with a laser etching machine, then go for it. Christmas only comes once a year. Your team totally deserves it.
7 Unique Gift Ideas To Give Your Employees This Christmas
1. Succulents
Whether they decide to bring it home or place it on their desk or workstations, a succulent adds life to any area it is placed in. Plus, it’s so easy to maintain.
2. Ideas Notebook
A personalized ideas notebook is always a great hit for people, especially those who like writing all sorts of crazy and creative ideas down.
3. Portable Phone Charger or Dock
A phone charger or dock is a must-have in today’s digital age where almost everyone is plugged in and online. A portable charger is especially useful especially for those folks who are always on the go.
4. Customized Water Bottle
Giving your employees personalized drinking bottles lets you hit two birds with one stone: you make them feel appreciated and you eliminate the need for single-use plastic in the workplace.
5. A Donation to Charity
Donating to charity on your employee’s behalf is a meaningful gesture when material gifts are inappropriate. Tell them where the money will go and the impact that it can do. It’s a great way of championing your company’s values and honor theirs.
6. Sweet Treats
Who doesn’t love sweets? Giving your employees a premium bag of gourmet goodies is always a sure hit. Chocolate-coated strawberries, nibblers, brownies, gourmet gummies, and a lot more other options are available in the market and online. It may cost a bit more than the average dessert, but it’s a worthy expense once you see their sweet smiles.
7. Online Classes
Give your employees the gift of education this Christmas. Enroll them in online classes of their choice, whether it’s work-related or something that interests them like their hobbies. They will surely appreciate that you took the time in helping them improve as a person and not just as an employee.
Letting your employees know how much you appreciate them and their hard work can go a long way. If they feel they are valued and are treated right, they will take care of you and your company. If you take good care of them, they will take good care of you and your business.
