5 Ways to Tell Your Employees and Clients that they Rock
The magic of the holidays is now a distant memory. We’ve all fallen back into the daily grind and those of us in the Midwest are counting down the days until summer. During this time it can be easy to feel less-than-motivated at work. So we have come up with the top five ways to help employees, co-workers, or clients, feel appreciated and pump their energy back up. Let’s not forget that Valentines Day and Employee Appreciation day (March 3rd) are sneaking up on all of us!
#1. Let There Be Chocolate
In the spirit of Valentines Day, a little something sweet can be just the right way to give someone a booster. You know how excited you get when you walk by the work snack counter and there’s free chocolate? That’s how you’ll be making someone important in your work life feel when you give the gift of chocolate. Chocolate has caffeine in it and the ability to boost serotonin (the feel good chemical in your brain) whoever is on the receiving end of a chocolate gift will be satisfied for quite some time. Bonus, include your business card with this killer personalized Ghirardelli Chocolate Business Card Holder and you’ll be landing new clients before you know it. They’re currently as low as $4.00.
#2 Happy Hour
White, red, dry, fragrant or sweet, this Personalized Stemless Wine Glass will pair well with anyone you are currently trying to impress. Whether you are gifting for Valentines Day or Employee Appreciation Day, or just to have an excuse to pop open a bottle of vino after work (or during we won’t tell), the wino in your work will love this personalized stemless wine glass, which is currently as low as $1.77.
#3 Crank Up the Tunes
Listening to music at work can help boost productivity, and has been shown to make repetitive tasks more enjoyable! Often times it can put people in a better mood too. Make the gift of music even sweeter by imprinting your brand on these Mini Ear Buds, currently as low as $1.75. You can even use them to simply plug up your ears when that annoying co-worker calls and claim you couldn’t hear the phone! Is this a last minute gift? Those ear buds and many other similar products are available with 24 Hour Rush!
#4 Go to Lunch
So many people work through lunch, or skip it altogether. Taking a break for lunch is important to refocus your mind (and catch up on all the hilarious memes on your phone). What better way to encourage work friends, and clients to take a break than with a Branded Insulated Lunch Bag? Not only will receivers feel better, they’ll think of you and your brand every time they reach for their meal of choice. Bonus, include fun lunch recipe ideas when you send it to overcome boring sandwich fatigue. These bags are currently as low as $5.99 with a 24 Hour Rush option!
#5 Make Them a Survival Kit
This is the work equivalent of receiving a care package in college. If you’ve ever been in a new position or place and have received similar kits, then you know how useful they can be. If your team has been feeling run down, this is the nice reminder that they matter. This Tradeshow Survival Kit is the solution you’re looking for. Whether you are bringing a new employee aboard or a new client, this kit will speak volumes about what your brand values. When equipped with a new pen, hand sanitizer (no colds for you), re-usable tote bag and a journal to write down all brilliant and creative ideas, receivers will be unstoppable, and they’ll have you to thank. Kits are currently as low as $7.78 each!
No matter how you celebrate, make sure the important people in your work life feel appreciated and recognized this year.

Great Post Erin,
The concept of gifting is a vast ocean with varied choices for different occasions.The options you have suggested are a different take to the monotonous gifting options that the corporate gifting segment churns out year after year.
Thank you for the ideas!
