Planning Your Year-End Function? Consider Getting Your Team These Gifts!

Can you believe that the year is almost over? Each year, most companies host their year-end functions in November and December. It’s a time when employees come together to celebrate their achievements and when the business can thank its staff for their hard work and dedication. If you’re busy planning your company’s year-end function, you can add a special touch by giving your team members special branded gifts. By doing this, you’ll ensure that they have something memorable to take with them after the event. Further to this, most employees will also feel more valued if you give them a useful, thoughtful gift. In this article, we’ve identified 5 of the top gifts you can consider ordering for your year-end function. 1. Travel Drinkware A highly useful gift to give staff members at year-end functions is travel drinkware. Flasks, thermal mugs and reusable glass cups usually fall into this category. Not only can your team members use these gifts when travelling during their December holidays, but they are bound to also use them in the new year when they return to the office. Travel drinkware is available in a wide range of designs, sizes and colours. This means you can find the best option, based on your company’s corporate identity, very easily when shopping in this category. 2. Travel Bags Backpacks, tote bags, moon bags and more can all be described as travel bags. They are nifty for storing essentials when out and about. For this reason, they are a thoughtful choice for year-end gifts as employees stand a high chance of utilising them to the fullest extent when travelling during the festive season. Chances are if you pick the right travel bag as your gift idea that your employees will use the bags when they return to the office too to transport their office supplies. You can also brand these travel bags with your company’s logo to make them truly one-of-a-kind! 3. Diaries & Planners Nothing is quite as useful as a yearly planner or diary. You can consider getting the following year's planners and diaries for your employees as corporate gifts at your year-end function. These planners will enable employees to start the coming year off on an organised note and they are also likely to continue using the planner or diary they received often as the new year progresses. This makes diaries and planners a truly impactful present to give to your team. Diaries and planners are available in various sizes. You can personalise these items too by adding your logo or perhaps even each team member’s name to make them even more personalised. 4. Gift Sets & Hampers If you don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about which items to pair with each other to create a unique gift set, you can simply purchase pre-packed gift hampers! These hampers are usually available in different theme options, which means you can get gift sets like tech hampers which contain products like USB flash drives, wireless mouses and more. Or you can opt for wellness gift sets that contain a bunch of self-care products. The beauty of these gift sets is that they come packaged in quality boxes, making them appear very premium. 5. Awards & Trophies At most year-end functions, there is usually some sort of a prize-giving ceremony. In order to properly award your hard-working team members, you can come up with a range of categories in which you can select a winner from your pool of staff members. As a prize, you can give them a physical award like a trophy. You can get these in a variety of sizes and one can put the winning employee’s name on the product’s plaque. Awards are not only available as trophies - more contemporary options are available, including tower awards and mini awards.
