Your employees are the foundations of your company – and showing them you care about them as people, not just as the working force, lets them know you value their time, effort, and loyalty. And the best way to do this is through practical and thoughtful business gifts – after all, isn’t it lovely when people congratulate you? Or when they let you know they’re thinking of you? Isn’t it even better when that person is your boss?

We’ve made a list of the five most important occasions when a business gift would be appreciated by your employees. By remembering the important dates in their lives, you’ll be able to become a part of them as well – without being too pushy, of course.

Remember Their Birthdays

It’s nice when people remember you, especially on their special day – if you’re a smaller collective, it shouldn’t be too hard to know everyone’s birth date. Even a small token of appreciation can brighten an employee’s day, especially coming from their employer. After all, it lets them know you think of them outside of work circles as well, and that you consider them more than just an employee.

A heartfelt card, some sweets, and a practical product – such as a water bottle or a heating pad – is something anyone would get excited about.

Surprise Them on Holidays

This is a classic – gift giving during Christmas or any other holiday, such as International Women’s Day, is often expected but always appreciated. Again, you can get really creative depending on your list of employees; if your workers are millennials, surprise them with a mug holder or a personalized hoodie; if they’re older, consider giving them something more valuable or something that holds more meaning; on the other hand, if you’re employing generation Z, go wild with fidget toys and mobile accessories!

Congratulate Them on a Promotion

Sure, it was you who gave them the promotion, but why not be the one to congratulate them on it as well? A bottle of champagne, a cake and a bunch of balloons, or simply a #1 Employee mug is sure to impress. Perhaps you can combine both the promotion and the gift – surprise the employee with a care basket and a surprise note one their promotion! I mean, who wouldn’t love a surprise like that? At the same time, you’ll motivate your other employees to go for the title next and provide quality results!

Celebrate Their Personal Achievements

While getting married or having a baby means missing work, this is no reason for gloomy mood – if your employee lets you know they’ll be taking time off for a honeymoon or to spend time with their newborn, don’t guilt trip them about you not having enough employees. Instead, send over a note saying congratulations, and surprise your employees with something useful and practical. Why not gift a personalized baby bottle or some cool baby clothing? In fact, why not pay for a massage for the newlyweds? There’s tons of ways you can show your appreciation when your employees reach a personal milestone.

End the Year with a Thank You

To end it on a good note, thank your employees at the end of the calendar year for all their hard work, loyalty, and trust they put into your company. An end-of-the-year gift can be as simple as you want it to be – you can surprise everyone with a pair of champagne glasses to toast the upcoming year or even a bonus they can put towards their next year’s vacation. On the other hand, you can also choose to go all out and gift your employees personalized products or a care basket filled with a bunch of goodies for the new year!

It is not hard to make your employees feel appreciated – in fact, it is quite simple! All you have to do is pay attention and surprise them with a little freebie!
