Every company is operating differently now than it did just a few months ago. Buzzing offices now sit quietly, awaiting the return of chatter, ringing phones, clacking keyboards, and more.
While restructuring daily operations has been a monumental task for companies, employees have had to shift their entire worlds to continue productively working for their bosses. Now, they operate in a home office, corner of their bedroom, or at their kitchen table. They arrange Zoom calls for their children and themselves, check in on their children’s schoolwork, break up fights, ignore the piles of laundry, and STILL manage to do their jobs well!
This is draining. It’s also isolating. And it feels as if there is just too much being asked of them at all times of the day.
Show your employees you appreciate them. Let them know you couldn’t keep going without them, and you’re amazed by how they’ve adapted.
Send a custom care package that communicates you’re thinking of your employees, you’re grateful for them, and you want to make things a little easier and/or brighter in their lives.
Consider some of these gifts that show your staff you care.
Self-Care Care Package Gift Ideas
Self-care seems to always be put on the back burner, and even during quarantine, people are still finding it difficult to manage to take care of what they need. Let your employees know you want them to treat themselves well with a care package that includes self-care items.
Personalized Mugs
Let’s admit it. Coffee is a big part of the reason we’re all making it through these endless days. Send your employees a coffee mug with an inspirational message. Every time they pick up their mug for a sip, they’ll feel a boost of support.
Some inspirational messages to consider:
- “You do not find the happy life. You make it.” – Camilla Eyring Kimball
- “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
- “Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.” -Theodore Roosevelt
- “Limit your ‘always’ and your ‘nevers.'” – Amy Poehler
- “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m Possible!'” – Audrey Hepburn
- “Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.” -Maya Angelou
Coasters
Include a beautiful coaster with your coffee mug so your employees can feel all set to enjoy their drink during work.
Yoga Mats
We all need to unwind and take care of ourselves — now, more than ever. Show your employees you get they need stress relief by sending them personalized yoga mats.
Scented Candles
Small Glass Jar Scented Candle
Your employees can light a soothing scented candle to calm their nerves during work, or they can use their custom candle to make their home a calmer place once laptops are put away.
Fuzzy Socks
Comfort should rule when working from home. Send your employees some customized fuzzy socks to keep their toes warm and comfortable.
Home Office Care Package Ideas
It’s not easy working in a makeshift home office. People have had to get creative to carve out space in their homes. And they may be sharing that space with other people and pets. Show your employees you understand by sending them gadgets and items that will make their day-to-day operations go just a little more smoothly.
Earbuds
Make the endless video calls much easier on your employees by sending them wireless earbuds. Not only will this drown out the noise of their home (children, pets, and running dishwashers don’t respect Zoom time), they’ll also be easier to use than the tangled mess of earbuds with cords.
Nice Shirts for Video Calls
Nike Golf Dri-FIT Classic Polo
Speaking of endless Zoom meetings, send an embroidered shirt so your employees can look sharp on their next video conference call. It’s an easy tool to keep handy so your employees can quickly get ready for a sales or conference call. (And nobody will ever need to know if they’re also wearing sweatpants!)
Mousepads
Woodgrain Wireless Charging Mouse Pad with Phone Stand
Upgrade your employee’s home office for them with a custom mouse pad. Make it even more useful by choosing a mouse pad that doubles as a wireless charger.
Kid Care Package Ideas
Don’t forget the kids! Part of the difficulty in working from home during this pandemic is that the children are also at home. They need something to keep them occupied while their parents work. (Plus, what kid doesn’t love receiving a special gift!?)
Stuffed Animal
6″ Plush Excellent Elephant with Shirt
Send a comforting stuffed animal wearing a customized T-shirt.
Outside Toys
Help your employees out by getting their kids to go outside. Send a jump rope or other outside toy to keep kids entertained for a while.
