With the last of the autumn leaves falling, Christmas is just around the corner, and very soon, there is going to be a buzz of activity around gift buying and gift giving!

Holidays such as Christmas or even Thanksgiving can be an excellent time to demonstrate appreciation and respect for your employees with meaningful and unique presents. In this regard, there are a series of ideas that you can pursue.

Corporate Calendar

One potential concept is to give employees a corporate calendar. Design your calendar to represent your company’s aims and goals for the year. You can add specific details like upcoming functions or even employee birthdays to help your staff bond.

Plus, having a corporate calendar gives your team a place to make notes and mark deadlines. This is a gift that everyone will love. You can even use group photos from company events to highlight the year’s milestones.

Company Year in Review

For something more personal, especially for employees, consider a company year in review.

This photo book can recount major events or milestones throughout the year. It will give individuals who are part of the organization a chance to reminisce about the time they have spent at the office working with everyone.

Not only does this help boost morale at the office, but it also makes everyone more enthusiastic about their work, making it likely that they work with passion and give it their all.

Moreover, by making a company year in review, you can commemorate and record the various events and milestones that the company achieved throughout the year.

This can be something worthwhile to look back on in the future and acts as a good way to form a cohesive history for the company.

A year in review also gives employees a solid sense of progression. It shows the fruits of both their labor and their business with the company. Hence by making such a photo book, you are better able to showcase the value that your organization offers to those associated with it.

Company Retreat

Over the year, most firms take their employees on a retreat to some place for a vacation.

These instances are excellent opportunities for everyone to experience bonding with each other as it gives them a chance to unwind and relax without the burden of work looming heavy.

Moreover, company retreats are special times as they humanize colleagues to each other, and everyone can have fun without having to put on a professional work face. In this regard, making a photo book about the year’s company retreat can be an excellent idea.

This is owing to the fact that the memories from this retreat are already going to be viewed very fondly by your employees. Hence, by making an album about this time, you can immortalize those days and give them something physical to take home from and appreciate.

Company Recipe book

Finally, you always have the option of getting your employees something lighthearted to bring a smile to their faces and help everyone have a nice chuckle.

One such idea is to form a company recipe book. This is a particularly good idea in cases where your office space usually has a serious environment. In that instance, this idea will catch your employees off guard and help them unwind a little around the holiday season.

The premise for this photo book is simple. Collect a recipe from each employee or each department depending upon the size of the company itself. Bring it to life by getting it cooked and then include it in the photo book album.

This gives individuals a chance to demonstrate some of their capability as well as creativity by showcasing their own personal favorite recipes.

Company Projects

Over the year, there is sure to be a vast array of projects completed by the company successfully.

What is crucial about these projects is that they took a lot of effort on the part of your employees. Hence by turning these successfully completed projects into a photo book, you can commemorate the successful execution of this work.

Moreover, showcasing projects in the photo book is a way in which you can demonstrate the skill and integrity of your firm at following through with commitments and achieving results. These motivational reminders can do a lot to boost employee morale!

For your employees, this can also act as a morale booster as it gives them a souvenir to take home from the work that they have accomplished. After all, a professionally taken image depicting what the employee worked on throughout the year is likely to be quite the conversation starter back at home.

Thus, making photo books that showcase your company’s successful projects is one of the most effective gifts you can deliver.

Conclusion

Rather than a duty to be fulfilled, giving your employees a great gift this holiday season is an opportunity to show that your organization cares about them and values them. Irrespective of what exactly your gift covers and includes, as long as you give one, you’ll have engaged in the spirit of Christmas!
