Your employees are like family to you, so you know their likes, dislikes, obsessions and hobbies. One great gift for Employee Appreciation Day is a personalized mug or t-shirt that lets them know you pay attention. Have an employee who is obsessed with cats? A funny t-shirt about cats is the perfect option. Is there a music lover on your payroll? A coffee mug emblazoned with a musical quote will be perfect for their desk each day. You can find mugs and t-shirts that are already created or you can design one of your own for a true personal touch.

Very few people do not need that jolt of caffeine each morning to get them going and your employees are probably no exception. Why not provide them with a variety of flavored coffees or teas that they can enjoy each day? You can find all types of coffees and teas that will appeal to almost anyone on your staff, giving them the chance to try new blends they may never have tried before or stocking them up with a blend you know they love.

Nothing says “thank you for your dedication” like a bouquet of flowers. Everyone loves getting flowers delivered at work. The flowers will be a reminder throughout the day that their employer values their service and that their work is appreciated. You can choose from cut flowers or live plants, depending on which your employee prefers. You may even choose those that can be planted in a front yard or garden, providing a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness.

The way to many people’s heart is through their stomach and what better way to do that than with a box of candy. You can find gourmet chocolates, truffles and other sweets that are sure to appease any sweet tooth in your office. Sugar-free versions are also available for those who are watching their weight or have health reasons for not eating sugar.

If you want to be the best boss ever, consider sending wine to your employees. Choose a special bottle for each staff member or sign them up for a monthly wine club membership so they get a selection each month. Your employees can enjoy wines they may never have tried, or you can choose bottles that are unique, allowing them to try something new. You can even find bottles that allow you to personalize the labels.

Each of your employees is an individual, so you want to choose gifts that are personalized to each person. Monthly clubs allow you to do just that. You can create a monthly club membership that relates to each employee’s hobbies, lifestyle or leisure activity. A monthly golf club membership may send unique golf-related items to the golfers on your staff or a cheese club may send unique cheeses from around the world to the gourmet chefs at your workplace. There are monthly clubs for just about every interest and lifestyle, so you are sure to find one that works for your staff members.

People travel to various places for a variety of reasons. Your staff may enjoy vacations with their family or you may need to send them on regular business trips. Regardless of the reason for traveling, they need luggage that is durable and will remind them how valued they are. You can choose from suitcases, laptop cases or even backpacks that are designed for electronics. Each time your staff travels, they will remember your thoughtfulness.

After they leave the office, your employees enjoy plays, concerts, live performances and other events that often require tickets. These tickets may be very expensive. You could provide event or concert tickets as a way to recognize your employees on Employee Appreciation Day. Is there a live concert event in your area each year? Purchasing tickets to that event may be a way to not only let your staff know they are appreciated but a way to build the team if you travel to the concert together.

Every office has employees who are dedicated to their pets and almost everyone looks at their pets as part of the family. You could let them know how much you appreciate them by giving pet gifts. These could be special treats, toys or other items that will not only make your employee’s pets happy but let the staff know you pay attention to what is important to them.

Of course, gift cards are always a great option to recognize your staff. You can give a gift card that is specific to each employee. Have a staff member who eats out regularly? Gift cards to local restaurants are perfect. Is your office filled with people who enjoy going to the movies? Gift cards to a movie theater might be the answer.
