Thanking one’s employees for a job well done, or for the holiday season, is an important personal gesture. This act of goodwill will pay dividends in the future because it will show that you care about them personally, and this will make them likely to work harder for you in the future. The following are thank-you gift ideas for employees.
Let Him Leave the Office Early
This benefit can be done during the summer months on Fridays so the employee can get an early start to the weekend. It can also be done during the December holiday period so employees can go shopping, beat traffic, and spend more time with their families. Usually these time periods are slower for most businesses. Offering employees flexible schedules during the holidays can make a big difference in morale within the office.
Give Him a Gift Card
Gift cards can be purchased at most retailers. For men, popular choices could be to gas stations, restaurants, and malls. These cards can be acquired in various denominations; usually the lowest is $25.
Give Your Employee Engraved Items
This gift has a more personal touch. There are many items that can be engraved for your employees. These items include cufflinks, lighters, business card case holders, and money clips. There are many businesses that perform this service, and the cost is relatively inexpensive. You will need to order these personalized items in advance, so if you choose this gift idea, give yourself plenty of lead-time.
Alcohol
Alcohol is always a popular gift. Which type of alcoholic beverage to buy will depend on what your employee likes to drink. A case of beer could be appropriate, or an aged bottle of cognac may suffice. For wine lovers, there are many businesses on the internet from which one can order more rare varieties. This gift is a popular one because it can be shared by multiple people, and most people can find a use for it during the holidays.
Sports-Related Gifts
These gifts can range from tickets to a live sporting event to buying books and memorabilia of his favorite sports team. You’ll have to know what sporting events he likes. Golf balls are always a favorite for those who like to hit the links. Another idea is a gift certificate to a sporting goods store. These businesses often have team hats, jerseys, shirts, and sporting equipment. Costs for these gifts can range from $10 to $200.
Desk Gifts
Many men enjoy business card holders, picture frames (in which they can showcase their friends and family), and desk organizers for their pens and pencils. These gifts are available in many retail outlets. The cost will be between $20 and $100.
Tobacco and Smoking Accessories
If your male employee smokes, you may want to get him a cigar cutter, a lighter, expensive cigars, cigar or cigarette holders, or a humidor. Most tobacco specialty shops have these products. If you’re not certain as to the best brand of tobacco to buy, get a gift certificate.
Clothes
Men can always use a tie, dress shirt, shoes, or casual wear. These items are easy to buy and will be appreciated by the recipient.
