Beyond Thank You: Perfect Gifts for Employee Recognition
Hey there, all you hardworking folks! Did you know that there's a special day dedicated just to appreciating all the blood, sweat, and tears your employees put into your work?
That's right, it's Employee Appreciation Day! So, grab your party hats and get ready to celebrate in style! With this special occasion rolling in, we're all about turning the spotlight on the people who have been putting in the hard yards, giving their best shot, and we think it's high time someone gave them more than (a well-deserved) high-five.
That's why we've curated a collection of perfect gifts for employee recognition that go beyond the ordinary. From heartfelt tokens to practical delights, we're here to help you elevate your appreciation game and make every team member feel valued and cherished.
According to a Glassdoor’s Employee Appreciation Survey, “53% of people said feeling more appreciation from their boss would help them stay longer at their company.” That means showing you care will enhance your company and help you retain your best and brightest employees.
Join us as we explore a world of gratitude and discover the perfect ways to say "thank you" to the amazing individuals who make your workplace shine.

Send Them A WFH Care Package.
In the absence of a physical office, remote team members may find it challenging to feel fully integrated. Express your gratitude and foster a sense of inclusion by sending a thoughtful work-from-home care package directly to their doorstep. Don't know their address? Giften's instant gifting option will allow them to enter their own address after receiving a notification about your gift.
How It Works:

Head to our ready-to-ship gift page and choose one or more products to send to your (very lucky) recipients.
2. Gift via text, email, or link — no addresses needed.
Add one or 100s of recipients, then choose to send their gift message via text, email, or shareable link. No addresses needed!
3. Write a gift message with meaning.
Personalize your gift note with dynamic names, branded card designs, and thoughtful words that leave a lasting impression.
4. Send instantly or schedule for later.
Choose to surprise your recipient with their digital gift message and unwrapping right away or schedule to send on a special date.
It's really that easy!
Set up a company reward store
Create an online marketplace for seamless access to a diverse catalog of rewards. Establish a personalized store for employees to redeem various incentives, from gifts and branded items to exclusive discounts and travel opportunities. This company rewards store can be designed to acknowledge and appreciate employees' hard work with a range of meaningful options.
Plan a Virtual Team Happy-Hour
Surprise PTO!
A great appreciation gift is an unscheduled, surprise day off (that doesn’t count toward their PTO, of course). You can gift this to a single deserving employee or give the whole office a day off. Whether they use the time off for a mental health staycation or a little adventure, your employees will appreciate the office more for the chance to be away from it for a little bit. They’ll return refreshed and engaged. Just make sure the surprise isn’t too last minute—they’ll appreciate the time to make some fun plans.
Give them a WFH Office Stipend
Show you appreciate your remote employees and allow them to upgrade their home office! A stipend to get a nicer chair, some tasteful organizers, or a brand-new desk will upgrade their home office (which will, in turn, increase their output).
Virtual Thank You Via Email
Boost your team spirit and spread gratitude with a fun-filled appreciation email! Whether you're crafting a team-wide blast or penning a personalized note, a clever email expressing your heartfelt appreciation can work wonders for your office vibes and give your teammates a confidence boost. Best part? It won't cost you a dime, but the impact on your team will be priceless!
As we wrap up this ode to employee appreciation gifts, remember that a little gesture can go a long way in making your team feel valued. Whether it's a cozy blanket to wrap them in warmth, a motivational pen to jot down their dreams, or a simple thank you email, these gifts are more than just tokens – they're expressions of gratitude for the fantastic work they do.
So go ahead, spread those good vibes, and let the spirit of appreciation shine in your workplace. Cheers to an amazing team and the joy that comes with showing them some well-deserved love!
