Beyond the bonus: meaningful Christmas gift ideas for employees

Gifting can be rewarding, nerve-racking, fun, and stressful at the same time. If you get on the right track for Christmas gift ideas for employees, you can make it much simpler. Something simple like a gift card or a Christmas hamper could be nice for the festive season. However, that can be a bit boring and impersonal.

That's why you should consider ordering corporate gifts to hand out to employees this Christmas instead. High-quality personalised gifts that come from the heart is a better way to bulk order employee gifts.

Branded merchandise is important to have for your employees at the end of the year. This shows appreciation for their hard work throughout the year. Not to mention, people welcome a cheerful and festive atmosphere during this time.

Let’s explore some Christmas gift ideas that are sure to impress your team! Check out our recommendations for Christmas gift baskets with our gift guides in a variety of situations.

🌿Considering ordering sustainable Christmas gifts

Sustainability is not just a trend. Many companies are adopting this important mindset. They want to be environmentally friendly. This can have an overall increase in brand image and improves our natural surroundings.

Plenty of eco-friendly holiday gifts are available, that you can consider bulk ordering. Give the gift of green products and show your employees that you care and appreciate both them and the environment!

You don’t need to choose boring options either. Many quality and interesting products are available as a sustainable option.

🎁 Discover employee gifts for every budget

Do you have a great team but are on a slightly smaller budget? That’s not a problem! Christmas gifts for employees don't need to be super elaborate, expensive or luxurious. Low cost and affordable promotional items can still have quite a lasting impact because it is more of the thought that counts and not always the gift.

Discover a wide range of gifts that are still quality products, just at an affordable price. These can range from office supplies to a new desk accessory.

However, if you do have a higher budget, why not make the most of it? Consider high-quality, luxury items that will last, like laptop backpacks or speakers. These items can be used by employees every day, giving you a bigger boost for your money.

💫 Unique gifts make a memorable impact

Are you tired of offering the same boring gift every year? While you might be pro when it comes to the classic items, such as a notebook, mug, or jumper - but there are so many more cool gifts out there.

Consider choosing unique promotional items. We offer a wide variety of items you might not have ever considered could be a company merchandise. What makes these items different and more impactful, especially as gifts, is they are memorable. Someone might not remember receiving a pen at a trade show, but they will remember receiving a fondue pot from their company.

Take this opportunity to create a meaningful connection with your employees and staff by ordering unique items as an employee Christmas gift this year.

💻 Shop for in-person as well as remote teams

For companies that have remote teams, the end of the year is the perfect time to show your appreciation to the online colleagues. Consider curating a special box or hamper for these employees so they also feel included in the activities.

By personally creating these boxes for your team, from choosing the products to hand packing the boxes, you show your dedication and commitment to the remote teams. This builds a lasting trust and connection that cannot be faked.
