In 2020, roughly 70% of workers in the U.S. were doing their job from home “most or all of the time.” Many of these employees have had to significantly adapt their routine while working from home, but have continued to be productive. 

In addition to supporting employees with telecommuting software and work from home protocols, grateful employers can also show their gratitude with an employee appreciation gift. These gifts are a small but fun way to recognize employees for their hard work at home.

What is a Good Gift for an Employee?

What is considered a good gift for an employee will depend on the employee, their personality, and their lifestyle. Because of this, consumables and practical gifts are typically considered the “safest” employee gifts, especially when buying in bulk for large scale gift-giving.

Things to Consider When Buying Employee Gifts

The biggest consideration when choosing an employee gift is whether or not the recipient will actually use it. A practical gift that can be used at home, like a tumbler or journal, will likely be viewed the most positively by employees. 

From an employer perspective, you will want to pick an employee appreciation gift that is high-quality but doesn’t break the bank. Fortunately, The StampMaker offers a number of customizable, laser-engraved products that are great for corporate gift-giving.

Best Employee Appreciation Gifts

Tumblers

Employees can enjoy a coffee break at home with a custom tumbler. These tumblers have double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold, making them perfect for long meetings or sipping a drink throughout the day. You could even pair the tumbler with a small bag of coffee from a local business.

These custom tumblers are available in a variety of sizes and colors, and can be customized with text and/or artwork.

Journals

An attractive but sturdy journal is great for daily note taking in the home office. This line of custom journals comes in a variety of synthetic, water-resistant materials that have the look and feel of genuine leather.  Lined, cream-colored paper makes it easy for employees to organize their thoughts.

You can choose where your text or logo is positioned on the journal, giving you plenty of options for personalization.

Coasters

Custom coasters work nicely for happy hours at home. The faux leather or slate materials complement almost every interior, and each coaster has a soft backing that protects the surface of desks, tables, and other furniture. 

Your chosen text and artwork are precision-laser engraved for a crisp look.
