Employee Appreciation Gift Guide

Recognizing the real MVPs of your company should be the easiest decision you make this month. On March 7 – Employee Appreciation Day – show your gratitude by giving the teams behind the scenes something unforgettable. Give them a gift that encourages, empowers, and is packed with top tier fun.

Whether you’re looking to create a more traditional gift with on-point office vibes and branded merch or you’re itching to add some extra whimsy to the box with a bold theme – this list is it for all your inspirational needs. 

Theme: Desk & Office

A complete office makeover may be out of the question when creating a change of scenery for your employees, but a desk refresh is a close second! An office essentials gift delivers some small doses of newness to help keep the productivity high and the vibes immaculate during work hours. Even if they frequently travel and their office is on wheels or in the air, upgrade their carry-ons!

• The Desk Mate ($48)
• The Traveler ($106)

Theme: Rest & Recharge

There’s no denying the commitment employees give to your company. Certainly they think of everything when it comes to your website, finances, marketing, technology, logistics (the list goes on and on!). So show them appreciation for their champion mentality by encouraging them to also take time for themselves – to rest and recharge with self-care gifts. 

• The Deep Rest ($170)
• The Relax + Unwind ($86)

Theme: Mind & Body Wellness

Studies show that physical activity and meditation boosts productivity, creativity, focus, and all-around confidence. A wellness gift box puts the power in your employees’ hands to prioritize mind and body, and to once again take time for charging their own battery. 

• The Wellness Essentials ($103)
• The Fitness Guru ($98)

Theme: Out of Office

Getting outside, digging in the dirt, taking a swim, and feeling the sun is a fantastic way to unplug and reboot the system so to speak. No human is designed to stare at a screen all day, so gifts that give employees a friendly nudge to adventure out the door are always 10/10.

• The Beach Day ($98)
• The Hiker ($136)

Theme: Inspiration & Motivation

Company goals are great, but what about your employees’ goals? How are you helping them grow? An appreciation gift that recognizes their accomplishments while encouraging them to continue crushing it can be a really exciting box to open. Not to mention, a fun theme as spring approaches.

• The Growth Mindset ($115)
  

Theme: Gifts that Give Back

Using your brand values as a guidepost for employee appreciation gifts is a fantastic way to build your teams up, amplify important voices, and give back to the community. By choosing products that are sustainably sourced, eco-friendly, local, and charitable – your gifts of gratitude take on a whole new meaning. 

• The Gift of Good ($239)
