Finding the best gifts for your staff can feel overwhelming. What gift could possibly express your gratitude properly? While we don’t have the exact answer, (trust us, we know the feeling) we do have some pretty awesome out-of-the-box ideas your staff will love this holiday season.
Remember, the gift isn’t about the dollar amount but the thought, time, and attention to thoughtful consideration taken. So, without further ado, let’s get into our top 6 out-of-the-box gift ideas for your staff this holiday season!
Student Loan Payment
With the Federal student loan forgiveness on pause, many Americans are left in limbo in regards to their student loan payments. Take some stress off their shoulders and offer to match their minimum payment amount for one or more months. While this may not be the most fun gift, it’s definitely one gift that won’t go unappreciated!
1-Year Streaming Subscription
Ok, now on to the fun stuff! There are so many different options out there for streaming services these days. Between the classics like Netflix and Hulu, to the more niche streaming services like Paramount+ and Shudder, it could make your head spin trying to find something good to watch. The worst part? You might not even have the right streaming service to access the show or movie you’re looking for!
Obliterate this problem for your staff by gifting them a 1-year subscription to a streaming service of their choice. Want to make it a surprise? Find out what their favorite show is, where you can stream it, and gift them that subscription! Or, you can always stick with the safe and classic options like Netflix, Hulu, and HBOMax.
Pet-Care Gift Box
Your staff loves pets but that’s not just because they’re around them all day. They love pets when they’re on and off the clock. Their pet at home likely has the best of the best but you can never have enough stuffies and chewies at home! From Yak Chews to cute, cozy pet sweaters, there’s an endless array of goodies and fun pet care items you can include in a pet-care gift box. Make it easy on yourself and check out sites like Chewy.com to see if they have customizable goodie boxes.
Extra Paid-Days Off
What’s a better gift than time itself? Extra PTO days are perfect for those years when you’re totally stumped on what to gift your staff. Gifting extra PTO for staff to use when and how they want is always a blanket hit. Who wouldn’t love some extra time off? This year ditch the gift guides and give your staff the gift of time!
Big, Fluffy Blanket
Winter is here and you can catch us back outside in May 2023. Until then, we’ll be cozied up inside with our pets, DoorDash, and rotating subscription streaming services. Winter hibernation isn’t complete without a big fluffy blanket! Go fancy with this one and upgrade to a heated blanket for maximum gifting wow factor.
Wine Subscription Box
A great bottle of wine is sure to please just about anyone! But what about a carefully curated box of reds, whites, or a mix delivered right to your door? Sounds pretty sweet, doesn’t it? A wine subscription box is almost always a great gift idea. Just be sure to check with your staff if they prefer reds, whites, or a mix!
