During the last couple of years people from coast to coast have realized they have options when it comes to where they work. Making your employees feel appreciated is a big component of employee retention.
A lot of companies are still in summer mode, but the holiday season will be here before we know it. Do you want to make the holidays special for your employees this year to thank them for all their contributions? Well, we can help you with that, but you’ll want to get ahead of things!
Some companies divvy out gift cards or throw a holiday party to celebrate each year, and, while generous, these efforts may feel a bit mechanical. We suggest taking it up a notch with unique gifts that have been curated by YOU. Personalized swag shows your employees that you went a step above the generic options to invest in gifts that they can use both on and off the clock.
You might already have company swag you give out to new employees during their onboarding process, but these holiday gifts should be different from those standard offerings. We list some great ideas below, but you can also contact us to dive deeper into developing the perfect holiday gift swag.
Holiday/Winter Classics
The holiday season always has a different ambiance than other seasons. All you want to do is curl up under a blanket and watch your favorite movie or sit by the fire sipping hot chocolate, tea, or spiked cider. To capture this classic holiday spirit, you can give employees classic holiday gifts, like a comfortable pair of socks (we posted some fun options on our Instagram account), a sturdy mug, or a cozy blanket. The best part about these gifts is they’re also easily shippable if you’re sending them out to your remote employees!
Cozy Apparel
Whether your crew happens to be fans of colder weather or not, they’ll all need some essentials to keep them warm during the winter months. Some products to consider include jackets, vests, hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, beanies, and gloves. Every single one of these items could be a staple in their winter wardrobes.
Tech Swag
Tech items will likely come at a higher price tag, but they’ll also be products your employees can use throughout the year, which means they’ll remember your appreciation all the more. Things like headphones, charging cables, bluetooth speakers, and wireless charging pads all make great options.
As is always true with swag, there are so many options to choose from that you’re sure to find something special for your employees. We suggest thinking about your plans early and getting everything ordered, branded, shipped, and ready before the holidays are here. Contact us for a consultation anytime.
