12 Marvelous (and Practical) Gifts for Your Work Team Members

The holiday season is a great time to show appreciation for all your team's hard work. Here are twelve gifts for your work team members!
Nobody works harder than your team. They've been there for you day in and day out, helping you to get the job done no matter what. Businesses, big or small, simply couldn't function without the amazing dedication of their employees.
 
So, this holiday season, why not show them how much you appreciate all their hard work with meaningful and practical gifts? Here are some great Company Gifts ideas to get you started:
1. An Anti-theft bag
Combine practicality and style with a stylish and durable bag that has anti-theft features like slash-resistant construction and hidden zipper closures. This is perfect for the busy commuter who wants to keep their belongings safe while on the go.
 
We recommend checking out Apex Gifts and Prints for a great selection of anti-theft bags. They've got anti-theft computer bags, storage bags, and more for as low as $17.20!
 
Extra Tip: Why not throw in a gift card to their favorite coffee shop so they can enjoy a well-deserved cup of joe on the way to work.
 
2. A personalized coffee mug
Think about it: your team members probably run on coffee (or tea) to help them get through their workdays. So, why not give them a mug that's personalized with their name or initials? This way, they can start their day feeling appreciated and special.
 
A quick search on Etsy reveals tons of great options for personalized mugs, from mugs that say "World's Best Boss" to mugs with fun and festive holiday designs. Prices start at around $15. Apex Gifts and Prints also have customizable mugs starting at $1.62!
3. A luxury hand cream or spa set
Show your team members you care about their well-being with a luxurious hand cream or spa set. This is perfect for the person who is always working with their hands and could use some pampering.
 
There are plenty of spa sets, or cream sets available in the market today, from big-name brands like L'Occitane to more affordable options like The Body Shop. You can even find some great sets on Amazon, like this Jo Malone Spa Set that's currently on sale for $49.99.
 
Extra tip: If you want to add a personal touch, include a handwritten note letting them know how much you appreciate all their hard work.
4. A work-from-home essentials kit
If you've got team members who occasionally (or always) work from home, put together a kit of essential items to help them do their job more effectively. A work-from-home kit usually includes:
  • A comfortable pair of headphones
  • A laptop stand
  • An ergonomic mouse
  • A wireless keyboard
  • A set of desk lamps
You can put together your own kit or you can find pre-made ones online. These would typically cost you around $100. So, it's a great gift idea if you're looking to splurge a little.
5. A Wireless Charger or Powerbank
Cut down on cord clutter and make life easier with a wireless charger that can charge multiple devices simultaneously. This is perfect for the colleague who's always on the go and needs to keep their devices charged up. You can find wireless chargers for as high as $200 or as low as $9.99.
 
A powerbank is also a great gift idea, especially for those who are always on the go and don't have access to outlets. This one from Anker has enough power to charge an iPhone 8 seven times!
6. A stylish and functional tote bag or computer bag
Make life easier for the colleague who's always on the go with a stylish and functional tote bag or computer bag. This is perfect for busy commuters who want to keep their belongings safe while on the go. Some great options include the following:
  • The North Face Unisex Base Camp Duffel Bag
  • eBags Professional Slim Laptop Backpack
  • Samsonite Tote-a-Ton 32.5 Inch Duffel Bag
Prices start at around $30, depending on the brand and style. If you want to splurge, you can find designer options for as high as $200.
7. An e-Reader or Kindle
Not every gift has to be related to work, per se. If you've got a colleague who loves to read, an e-Reader or Kindle would make a great gift. This is perfect for the commuter who wants to make use of their time on the train or bus. Here are some great options:
  • Kindle Paperwhite
  • Kobo Clara HD
  • Nook GlowLight Plus
The price range for these e-Readers starts at around $130. Of course, you can also opt for a more affordable Kindle if you're on a budget.
8. A gift card to a local restaurant or café
 
 
Why not treat your colleague to a nice meal with a gift card to a local restaurant or café? This is perfect for the foodie in your team who loves to try new things. This is a great way to show your appreciation for all their hard work, and it's something they can enjoy with family or friends.
 
Prices for gift cards vary, depending on the restaurant or café. As a general rule, $50 should be enough to cover a meal for two.
 
Extra tip: If you want to add a personal touch, include a handwritten note that says how much you appreciate your team member's hard work.
9. A ticket to a local event or concert
Is there a big concert or event happening in your city? Why not treat your team member to a ticket? And if you have the budget for it, and have reason to celebrate a great year or good news, you can buy tickets for the whole team. This is a great way to show your appreciation and build team morale.
 
Prices for tickets vary, depending on the event. As a general rule, $50 should be enough to cover a ticket to a local concert or play. But if you're buying tickets to a bigger event, like a major league baseball game, you might have to spend closer to $100.
10. A gift certificate for a day of pampering
Everyone deserves a day of pampering, and your team member is no exception. Get them a gift certificate for a day at the spa or a mani-pedi. This is perfect for the colleague who's always taking care of everyone else and never takes the time to take care of themselves.
 
You can find gift certificates for as low as $50. But if you want to splurge, you can find packages that include a massage, facial, and mani-pedi for around $200.
11. A donate-able gift
Not everyone celebrates the same holidays, and not everyone wants more stuff. If you have a colleague who's difficult to buy for, or if you're on a tight budget, consider getting them a donate-able gift. Here are some great options:
  • A donation to a local charity in their name
  • A gift certificate to a local thrift store
  • A donation to their favorite animal shelter
These gifts cost you nothing but the price of a stamp, and they're sure to be appreciated by your colleague.
12. A professional pen set
For the colleague who is always jotting down notes or working on the next big project, a nice pen set is a fantastic gift idea. It's symbolic of all the hard work they do day in and day out, and it's something they can use for years to come.
 
There are tons of great pen sets available, from sleek and modern options to more classic styles. Prices start at around $30. Apex Gifts and Prints also has a great selection of executive pens, starting at just around $4!
 
Conclusion
No matter what you choose to give, your team member is sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness of a gift. They not only show that you care, but they also help to build team morale and show your appreciation for a job well done. So go ahead and pick out the perfect present for your work team this holiday season!
