Make it personal
The best employee gifts are ones that are personal and show them that you have put time and thought into what to get them specifically. Personalised corporate gifts that represent who that person is, and their interests sends a clear message that you value that individual employee and have taken the time to get to know them, not just as another worker in the business. A good example of this is if you know your employee likes white wine or rosé you can get them a gift set that features high quality, exclusive wines that they can enjoy.
Choose something long-lasting
Generic and disposable gifts like a box of chocolates are quickly thanked and forgotten about as soon as they’ve been eaten. They’re a good idea if you’re sending a gift just to send a gift with no meaning or message behind it. But when you want to say thanks to employees for their hard work or celebrate their professional achievements, the gift should be more substantial and longer lasting. Again, wine gifts are perfect for this as your recipients could save the wine for a special occasion to share with their friends and family. Also, if it comes in a nicely crafted, branded box with a personalised message, that will make a lovely and memorable keepsake.
Keep your budget in mind
It’s important to keep cost in mind when buying corporate gifts, especially if you have a growing business with quite a lot of employees. There are ways to approach buying corporate gifts for employees that are thoughtful and show appreciation without breaking the bank. You can still be generous within a realistic budget and when you know how much you want to spend, it’s easier to plan your corporate gifts effectively in advance.

Make the gifts unexpected
This is not always doable, especially if your gifts are for a holiday celebration like Christmas. However, if you know your employee has got an important milestone coming up like a certain number of years with the business, they may not be expecting a special gift from you or the company. Therefore, it’s a great opportunity to surprise them with the perfect gift that will put a smile on their face and make sure the occasion is marked and memorable. The personal touch will help to strengthen your relationship with the employee.
