6 Branded Gift Ideas for Employee Appreciation (gifts they’ll love)

Showing love to employees is super important. But most of the time, corporate gifts kinda miss the mark. Ever got a pen that stopped working in a week? Yep, we’ve all been there. And did you know? A recent study found that a lot of these gifts just end up in the trash– 23% to be exact. Ouch. 

But here’s the good news: it’s possible to choose gifts that your team won’t just toss aside. When it comes to corporate giving, sustainable gifts are the way to go—they’re not only stylish and long-lasting but also carry a message of care and respect for people and the planet. 

In this guide, we’re going to dive into some sustainable gift ideas that will make your employees feel truly valued and seen.

Small travel pouches for organization can be a hit– especially when they’re made of 100% organic canvas cotton.

They're perfect for storing cables, makeup, or other small items and can be easily branded with your company's logo or an empowering message, combining utility with a commitment to the environment.

Encourage your employees to reduce their use of single-use plastics by gifting them reusable market totes. Choose ones made from natural organic fibers like cotton, and consider a design that reflects your company's branding or ethos.
