A quick search on Amazon will bring up over 7000 results for books with the keyword “Minimalism” – over 1000 released in the last 90 days alone! People are wanting fewer “things” in their lives, and they are wanting the things they do have to be more meaningful, more useful, or both.
However, it is still important and motivating to acknowledge important contributions and reward workplace achievements. The end of the year is a time to thank volunteers, honor top achievers, and acknowledge esteemed sponsors with gifts and awards that reflect their value to your organization. Choosing the right gift item can ensure the appreciation is reciprocated.
Enhance Their Favorite Experiences!
When you gift items that are designed to be enjoyed with family and friends, it shows you value a work-life balance and appreciate the contributions your staff make. With these promotional gift ideas, your brand can be there when they create memories they’ll cherish.
Awards That Soar
Salute your road warriors with items that contribute to stress-free travel. Whether it’s racing through airports or getting stuck in traffic, any help while they’re on the go is sure to be appreciated.
Power Up!
Dreaded “Low Battery Anxiety” is real, but you can help prevent it with the right gift. Help sponsors, supporters, and team members feel “plugged in” to your brand with printed charging cables & solutions that perform as good as they look!
If the Shoe Fits…
Sometimes the right gift is a simple fit: classic, cozy, or casual – apparel gifts reinforce the team spirit and help your top talent stand apart. Company t-shirts make a great holiday give-away, or choose layering pieces like lightweight fleece jackets that can work as year-long motivation for achieving team goals.
Double-Down on Doing Good
The most appreciated awards may be those that do more. Choose recycled promotional items, those that can be easily recycled, or items that eliminate single-use plastics and help your team know their gift is making a positive impact on the planet.
Unplugged
Everyone needs some time to unwind and unplug – and your brand can help recipients practice some self-love when you share gifts that can turn any day into a spa day.
When choosing an appreciation gift or an employee award, it’s important to make sure the item reflects your brand as well as matching the needs of the recipients. Doing so will ensure your gifts and awards don’t end up as “things” to be minimized and are instead appreciated for their usefulness and their meaning.
