In life, we all want to feel that we’re appreciated and this is no different in the workplace. Now a little goes a long way and showing someone appreciation doesn’t have to mean that you’re giving them huge bonuses, enormously elaborate gifts or things that’ll make your company budget drop like a fly. It’s actually the small things that matter, and that also goes for small appreciation gifts for employees. In this blog, we will tell you all about why and how to pick the best small appreciation gifts and why gift cards are a great option!
A new client, a goal that’s been achieved, Christmas... We can think of numerous reasons to give your employees a small appreciation gift, from ‘big’ achievements to small tokens of how happy you are that they’re working for you, to someone needing a little pick-me-up after a tough time. Small appreciation gifts, like gift cards for example, are the perfect way to let someone know how much you value them. They boost morale and create a positive work environment, meaning happy employees and you know what that means: happy people, happy business!
Okay, perhaps we're a little biased, but we think gift cards make for the ideal appreciation gift for employees. They can be personalised, are available in various denominations so you can make it as big or small a gift as you please, and what’s best: they offer your employees the chance to choose their own gift! With a gift card, they can pick out exactly what they desire. You can opt for a single-brand gift card or offer even more options with a choice gift card. A gift card is a go-to choice when seeking a gift to match multiple personalities and preferences!
We’re hearing you think: aren’t gift cards a bit impersonal? Well, perhaps they were at some point, but today’s gift cards are anything but boring. As a company you can have your gift cards personalised with for example your company logo, your brand colours or you can even include a personal message with your gift card(s). You can have them sent to the office and hand them over as a physical gift card yourself, but you can also opt for a digital gift card. With the latter, the recipients will receive their gift card straight in their inbox, moments after you’ve completed your order. Easy as pie!
When it comes to employee appreciation, there’s a sweet spot between thoughtfulness and practicality, and that’s where gift cards shine. No need to rack your brain over what each person might like (or risk a pile-up of questionable mugs). A gift card says, ‘We appreciate you,’ while you’re letting your employees choose what they really want, whether it's a fancy coffee, a favourite book, or a mid-week treat. Plus, they’re easy to give, quick to distribute, and give everyone the choice of freedom and a way to treat themselves. Thoughtful? Yes. Hassle-free? Absolutely.
Gift cards are the all-stars of appreciation. They work for just about any occasion you can think of! Celebrating a birthday? Gift card. Marking a work anniversary? Gift card. Hitting a big team milestone? Yep, a gift card. They’re flexible, fun, and fantastic if you want to give someone a gift that they can use to buy that item that’s been on their wish list forever. That way, a gift card is much more personal than a one-size-fits-all trophy or treat. So whether it’s for a special day or a job well done, a gift card is always a winner!
