Gift Ideas for Employee Appreciation Day

Employee Appreciation Day (March 4th) is just around the corner. Stopping to recognize the contributions of employees has always been important, but with the combined effects of the ongoing pandemic and millions of workers having left their jobs in the past year, it is now more crucial than ever to show your employees how much you value them in and out of the office. In honor of Employee Appreciation Day 2022, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best gifts you can give to thank your team without breaking the bank.

But first, here’s an idea to truly make your gift stand out with employees - personalize them with their names. To help you do that, one of our product lines, Starline, is offering name personalization on their Bags & Drinkware through 3/31/22 for only $1! Check out a few of our favorite Starline products and then call me to get information on pricing and the personalization offer.

This year, treat your employees to a sleek and functional gift idea they’re sure to love. The Colton Washed Canvas Backpack is slim, durable, and complete with both washed canvas and vegan leather. There’s a large main compartment where you can store laptops and large books, as well as a small front pocket perfect for chargers, pens, and other small essentials.

Keep your team hydrated all day long with customized stainless steel tumblers. Boasting vacuum insulation and copper lining, these drink containers keep beverages at just the right temperature all throughout the day.

Are your employees active? Do they love to spend their days out and about? If so, a custom fanny pack just might be the perfect gift to reward them for their hard work on Employee Appreciation Day. These custom JanSport fanny packs have an adjustable waist belt and two convenient spaces for storing your things–one main compartment in the back and one small additional pocket along the front. Thanks to the lifetime warranty, you’ll never have to worry about your packs becoming damaged or broken.

The classic duffel bag is a perfect choice for carrying small to medium amounts of luggage in a compact and ergonomic way. At Newport Promotions, we offer spacious, water-resistant and fully customizable bags that are sure to be a favorite among your team. Featuring padded carry handles, sturdy YKK zippers and a lifetime guarantee, our 100-liter duffel bags were created with your ultimate comfort and satisfaction in mind.

For the active employee, a water bottle is a great and inexpensive option for an Employee Appreciation gift. Not only are our water bottles leak-resistant and insulated, they also come with a wide-angle handle perfect for carrying around on the go.

If you’re okay with splurging a little on a great gift idea that your employees will get a lot of use out of, you’ve found it. This multi-piece gift set contains both the Urban Peak 20 oz and 3-in-1 tumblers, along with a 12-can waterproof hinge cooler large enough for a full day of festivities.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to show your employees some love on Employee Appreciation Day this year. They do a lot for your company, and your business just wouldn’t be the same without them. In addition to rewarding your team for all the hard work they do, a customized gift is also a great and inexpensive way to spread the word about your company to everyone who comes in contact with your promotional items. Remind your employees that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and you’ll reap the benefits in every area of your business.
