Things Employees Love if Their Bosses Do It for Them!

Employee Appreciation Day is the perfect opportunity to recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication of your team. A thoughtful gift can go a long way in showing gratitude, boosting morale, and fostering a positive work culture. Whether it's a personalised keepsake, a practical office essential, or an experience that promotes well-being, choosing the right gift can make employees feel valued and motivated. If you're looking for meaningful ways to express appreciation, here are some great gift ideas to make your employees feel special on their big day.

A Spa or Massage Session 

When your employees are exhausted after working all day, all they need is a massage or spa session. I mean, who doesn’t like a relaxing break after a tiring day?

Therapy Dog 

This is going to do wonders for all the pet lovers in your organisation! All you need to do is set up a dog therapy session for them once in a while. Dog therapy, or Canine therapy, uses dogs to help people improve their quality of life. It can be a good activity for your employees. 

Hanging Desk Organizer 

If your employees like working from different spots in the office or need an organiser to keep things in place this hanging organizer from Ouch Cart. This organiser can be hung anywhere and used as a desk to keep things or even work on a laptop.

A Stress Regulation Book 

Employees may go through daily work stress or overload, so you can gift them an interactive book for stress management. “Relax, Play. Thrive” by Dr. Anuja Luniya is India’s first stress regulation activity book that helps manage stress with fun-sized activities, actionable strategies and techniques for addressing stress, lifestyle, gut health, mindset and interactive QR codes for self-assessments, quizzes, guided techniques, and more. 

Subscription to a Meditation or Wellness App

A subscription to a meditation and wellness application can be a powerful tool for increasing employee productivity. You can also organise by-monthly sessions at your workplace if your employees are comfortable with it in the office. 

Ergonomic Office Accessories

Ergonomic office accessories like footrests, posture correctors, and wrist rests help employees maintain proper posture, reduce strain, and enhance comfort during long work hours. 

Customised Bobblehead or Caricature

A customised bobblehead or caricature is a fun and unique keepsake that adds a personal touch to employee appreciation. After all, everybody loves personalised things that make them happy while working on hectic tasks. These caricatures can be according to the designation of the employee in your company to make it more fun. 

A Sponsored Staycation

To escape the mundane life and everyday work, an employee would want to have a day to themselves and what better than their organisation sponsoring their staycation for a day or two?  Brownie points if this would be a peaceful place or a hill station with low connectivity.
