12 Creative Employee Gift Ideas

by Clove & Twine

There are so many reasons to seek out corporate gifts. From client gifts to corporate swag, branded event gifts, or company holiday gifts, we could come up with hundreds of reasons to send high-quality gifts to connect people and build relationships. (And we probably will someday soon!)

Giving employee gifts is a great way to onboard new hires (through welcome gifts), celebrate work anniversaries and birthdays, say “thank you” for their hard work, and support a positive work culture. 

If you’re looking for creative employee gift ideas, look no further! These 12 company gifts are excellent teambuilding gifts, employee thank-you gifts, or holiday gifts for employees or coworkers.
