Are you looking for small gifts to give your employees? Sometimes your budget or company rules might stop you from giving the high-end gifts that your employees deserve. If you have a limited budget but are big on appreciation, here are some great small employee gift ideas.
What is a Small Employee Gift?
A small employee gift is significant enough to have meaning but not so costly that it imposes a tax burden on your employees. The key is to give de minimis gifts. These are things like gifts given on holidays or birthdays that have a low market value. Cash cannot qualify as de minimis. All employees should also receive the same gifts throughout the year. So, if you give one employee a gift worth $15 on their birthday, you should give all employees the same thing.
What Gifts do Employees Want?
The gifts that your employees want will depend on the people you’re giving them to…your employees themselves! When you’re thinking about a great gift for them, consider who they are as individuals. What are their interests? Have they expressed a love for anything? What might improve their attitude, team morale, and overall mood on the job? Popular employee gifts include gift cards, team meals or parties, and a day off.
