Employee appreciation is directly tied to overall satisfaction and productivity at work. But more important, extending your gratitude to your team is a generous and kind-hearted act that shows you really care about your employees as individuals. And that goes a long way toward earning their respect and loyalty.
When it comes to employee appreciation gifts and gift-giving in general at work, it can get a bit tricky. First, it might be hard to think of gifts your employees really want. And second, you may find it challenging to select a gift for your team members that adequately expresses your gratitude.
Lucky for you, we have you covered. These are our top ideas for employee appreciation gifts.

When employees arrive at work, you probably notice that most of them are carrying a tote bag.

Why not give your team some branded swag for an employee appreciation gift that also makes their lives easier? This “Thanks for All You Do” tote bag even comes with a tumbler, notebook, pen, and a key chain!

Team t-shirts and sweatshirts are fun ideas for employee appreciation gifts, but they don’t always jibe with workplace dress codes. These cute socks, on the other hand, are a fun alternative! The inspirational message: “Positive People, Positive Results,” is printed on the soles, which, by the way, are super thick and cushy. And no need to worry about having the right sizes—these are one size fits most!
