HR departments around the world are racking their brains over what to give their employees for Christmas. This is not as easy as you might think. The gift should not only be a small token of appreciation, but also express appreciation for the employee.

‍

Fortunately, at WorkerHero we specialize not only in finding suitable candidates, but also in how to make employees happy.

We have prepared a gift list that will make every employee's heart beat faster. So if you're still looking for the perfect Christmas gifts for your team, here are a few employee gift ideas.

Ideas with some preparation time

‍

1. A winter set consisting of a hat, scarf and gloves: Particularly useful for employees who travel a lot or work in the fresh air - with an embroidered logo, it also represents your company.
2. A culinary gift: How about a gourmet food box from Eataly or Viani, for example? The foodies in the team will be delighted! Alternatively, there are boxes from Give a Joy or Snackhelden if sustainable employee gifts are at the top of your list.
3. A personalized thermo drinking bottle that provides warm or hot drinks for every season.

‍

Small gifts that always go down well

‍

1. Personalized gift basket with lots of little gifts such as red wine, a box of chocolates and a handwritten greeting card.
2. Cookies or gingerbread: always a pleasure - and you can never have enough of them.
3. Bluetooth speakers: you can now find them everywhere. How about a Bluetooth speaker from JBL? They even come in different colors.
