Frequently Asked Questions

Appreciation Gifts for Employees

Appreciation gifts are an excellent way to show your stakeholders that you care. You can give employee appreciation gifts on many different occasions. Gifts for employee appreciation can be given when an employee meets their goals, on an employee’s birthday, during a holiday, on Employee Appreciation Day, or even when an employee retires. 

Just make sure that your employee is actually retiring and not just saying that they are so they can get gifts. Sounds crazy, right? Well, you’d be surprised… 

Our coworker is retiring but I think he's really just doing it to get all the retirement gifts. We think that once he leaves the company he'll keep on working from home. #wfhhacks! 

We're all playing along with the bit, but are brainstorming ways to prank-sabotage his plan. In a fun way of course! One idea we have is to DIY stuff that ends up "bringing out our creativity,” but nothing that really holds any value. Perhaps a macaroni necklace? 

Remote Employee Appreciation Gifts

When your employees are remote, there is more than one way to show them appreciation with remote employee appreciation gifts. Consider shipping an employee appreciation gift box full of snacks, beverages, or self-care essentials or gift your employees the taste of luxury with a gourmet food. Employee appreciation swag shipped right to the employee's door is another wonderful option. This could be a t-shirt with the company logo or a baseball cap. The possibilities are endless. 

We think Larry was expecting some nice appreciation swag or a few employee appreciation gift bags, which is why he wanted to “retire.” And yes, retire is in quotations, because we just don’t buy it. 

The fact that Larry was, according to himself, retiring, raised a few questions. He wasn’t an advanced age, he didn’t win any kind of lottery, as far as I know, his wife wasn’t a rich heiress, and the company still needed him. All these things made me wonder if he was, in fact, “fake retiring” and simply working from home from here on out. And that he was telling us he was retiring just to get great retirement gifts and, then well, resell them for profit. 

Bulk Employee Appreciation Gifts

If you want to show appreciation to the entire office, then employee appreciation gifts bulk are the way to go. When you buy staff appreciation gifts in bulk, it can save money as opposed to buying individual gifts. It also ensures that everyone in the office gets a gift. Bulk employee appreciation gifts could consist of wearable merchandise, and fun items such as games, office supplies, etc. Bulk thank-you gifts can also be purchased if everyone in the office met their quota.

Maybe if the whole office had received bulk company swag, then Larry wouldn’t be fake retiring. But well, that’s not the case. 

What Are Good Employee Appreciation Gifts?

Another reason that we had our suspicions about Larry is that the last time we all got cool employee appreciation gifts, Larry got caught flipping them on eBay, Craigslist, and other various internet marketplaces. 

We’d all gotten fun employee appreciation gifts, such as branded company sweatshirts. They were completely unique and no one else in the world had them except for the employees at our company. Well, one day, Molly (our coworker) was browsing on eBay and she found our company sweatshirt listed – in the exact color that Larry had received. We all discussed it and agreed that Larry had definitely been the one to sell it. After all, the seller’s name was Larbear72. 

Our suspicions were only confirmed when we received one of the best gifts for employee appreciation. We each got a really high-quality company tracksuit. The tracksuits made really cute employee appreciation gifts. But of course, a couple of days later, Larbear72 had listed that EXACT tracksuit for sale online. The next week, our boss announced that we would be having a company-wide field day and that we all have to wear our tracksuits. Well what do you know, Larry was the only one to not show up in uniform. He claimed to have “lost it in the wash.”

Any who, if you’re wondering, what are good employee appreciation gifts? Here are some of the best employee appreciation ideas below. You don’t have to get every employee a tracksuit to give great employee appreciation gifts. Some of the best gifts are personalized.  

Custom Employee Appreciation Gifts

Personalized and unique employee appreciation gifts are always a hit. When you give your employees custom employee appreciation gifts, you’re letting them know that you put a lot of thought into their gifts. Personalized employee appreciation gifts could include monogrammed swag or gifts unique to an employee's hobbies or interests.

Another way to make it personal is to give DIY employee appreciation gifts and sending some personalized cards with employee appreciation quotes. Kind of like we did with Larry. 

We decided to prank him. We would each get Larry a gift for his retirement, yes, but with a creative twist. The gifts would be thoughtful but absolutely un-resellable. Really specific momentos like the calendar from the year he started, a really ugly pair of socks, and a doll that looked like him. These are what we presented to him on that fateful last day.



Inexpensive Employee Appreciation Gifts

Obviously, as long as your employees don’t plan on reselling their gifts, inexpensive employee appreciation gifts can do the trick. Sometimes small employee appreciation gifts are the most thoughtful. Inexpensive staff appreciation gifts could include gift baskets, plants, custom stationery, cocktail beverage kits, desserts, and anything else that your employees will enjoy – that doesn’t break the budget. 

Well, we certainly chose some inexpensive gifts for Larry. Most of them were DIY gifts.

To our surprise, he half-heartedly accepted our gifts and shocked us when he said: “Are you guys giving me these gifts because you think I'm faking a retirement? How could you think that?” He was super upset and walked away. We all felt really bad, but what was done was done. And hey, we did put a lot of work into those gifts! 

We all forgot about Larry after that, until one day…Molly came up to us and said that he actually was still working from home back in his hometown of Nashville. He still gets all the amazing gifts from the company and he’s still flipping them on eBay under the username of Larbear72. So our prank actually was spot on. Boy, we felt good that day.
