Fresh Fruit all year
You can ship fruit to your employees for three months to a year. You can also send fruit during the holidays. If you think your employees would prefer it, you can also give them other things like ham. Be sure to ask them if they are allergic to any fruit so you know before you buy something.
Gourmet Coffee
People love their gourmet coffee. Why not allow them to try different coffees each month? This link will show you all the gourmet coffee options on Amazon (affiliate).
Nut/Chocolate Basket
Does your staff love nuts or chocolate? Both are great for employees who are not allergic to them. This link will give you more nut and chocolate basket holiday gift ideas from Amazon (affiliate). A yummy collection of chocolates is an excellent option for people in your company; try Compartes.com.
Spa Baskets
Many people love to self-care on the weekend. This could be taking a bath, soaking their feet, or doing a facial routine. For those employees, they would love spa baskets as holiday gifts. Please note: Only give if you feel comfortable with employees enough to do this. An example would be these spa basket kits.
Theme Gift Ideas
Years ago, I was given a gift from an employee. They purchased movie CDs of a movie that had my name on it. She also gave different-named movies to other staff members. I thought it was so clever and unique. I usually can’t find things with my name on them. Thinking about gift themes for a few minutes will help you find a unique gift without spending much money.
Below are some theme gift baskets you may want to consider.
- The Popcorn Factory – great for people who love popcorn
- Fruit Bouquets – great for people who love fruit
- 1-800baskets – great for anyone who loves a variety of options
- Herry & David Baskets – great for nationwide employees
- DiBruno Brothers Gifting Services – great for local Philadelphia area lovers
- Cheryl’s Bow Gift Boxes – great for cookie lovers
Tax purposes when giving gifts:
Remember, the value of a gift card needs to be included in their pay so taxes can be allocated to them. Visit the IRS Frequently Asked Questions page about gift taxes for more information.
I hope this post helps you decide what to give your awesome employees for a job well done. Planning out when you to order will help distribute the cost over several months, and you do not have to spend as much at the end of the year. Above all else, look for something that will show them how much they mean to you.
