Remote Working Gift Giving Guide Made Easy
November is here, and that means the 2020 holiday gift-giving season is upon us. For those who have employees and coworkers to add to their gift list, we have some excellent ideas to make shopping a little easier. Whether you manage a team of five out of a coworking space or oversee thousands of remote employees nationwide, you know that your employees are invaluable to your business’s success. Instead of the usual, why not surprise them with one of these thoughtful and useful options instead. You can even customize with company colors, a logo, or a personal touch that truly expresses your appreciation for them and their contributions.
During 2020 many companies have needed to shift to a full or partial work-from-home model due to Covid-19. For some, this equates to adjusting to a very different work experience. Whether your company is working from home or in the office, we hope that these gift ideas will allow you to stay connected to both your business and each other.
Small Plants (Succulents)
Plants are always a nice touch for an office space or in the home. For an elegant touch that brightens up a space, succulents, or low maintenance plants will be sure to delight your gift recipients and bring a touch of summer no matter the time of year. They are also symbolic of life and growth. Consider personalizing them a tad more by placing them in a pot in your companies brand colors.
Gourmet Sweets and Snacks
Let’s face it–something sweet or savory is always a welcome gift to receive! Even better when there’s enough to share with friends and family. There are so many choices of gourmet sweets and snacks to please anyone on your list: Fresh fruit, gourmet nuts and cheeses, cupcakes and cookies, fine chocolates and candies, or even heartier selections like smoked and fresh meat and meals.

Noise Canceling Headphones
Whether working remotely or in the office, background noise is no match for a clever and useful electronic gift, such as a pair of Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones or earbuds. They’re comfortable, practical, and help employees or coworkers get through the day with less distraction, all while enjoying their favorite music. A personalized case makes this gift even more functional for easy transport and use.
Gift Cards or Event Tickets
Who doesn’t love getting a gift card to a team or entertainment event? A gift card or an eGift card for online shopping is a great way to ensure everyone gets exactly what they want. You can personalize your gift card easily by considering the recipient’s interests and favorite activities. For example, consider a sporting or pro shop for the sports-minded or outdoorsy type, dinner, lunch, or coffee cards to a local eatery or cafe, entertainment gift cards to local sports or arts venues, or even ecards for online shopping like Amazon or Etsy.
Travel Toiletry Bag
Travel in 2020 has undoubtedly changed for everyone. An employee or coworker who travels for business or pleasure would enjoy receiving a toiletry bag as a corporate gift. You can pack the bag with travel items you have found to be useful–including disposable face masks, hand sanitizer, and antibacterial wipes.
Tech Accessory
New mobile phone case, cable, charger? New keyboard? Speakers? In your brand colors, of course!
Or, how about a software download? Who doesn’t love a new app to enhance their ?. Each employee has different tastes and likes. Give a gift of software downloads and let them pick what they love.
