Holiday Gift Giving


Share

It's often a struggle to decide what to give staff members as a holiday gift. You want to give something that has meaning but is also within your budget Here are some ideas that might work for you and fulfill those goals.

AN EARLY GIFT

Right after Thanksgiving, give each staff member a roll of nice holiday wrapping paper or a packet of different wrapping papers. You beat the holiday rush, it's a gift that everyone will use, and your thoughtfulness will stand out as they wrap gifts. [content block]

KINDNESS CANES

Give each person a candy cane with a personalized self-esteem enhancer attached. Your messages might express sentiments such as "Your smile brightens everyone's day" or "Your kindness toward others if marvelous" or "Your enthusiasm is contagious."

GIFTS FOR THE BOSS
