Making the decision to support employee wellbeing through the act of getting them a gift box or an individual gift is easy. However finding the right things to gift is a much harder thing to do, particularly in the corporate world. Corporations always seem to get the same kind of gifts when performing these well-being activities. Ranging from company-branded pens and notepads to odd bits of kitchenware and toiletries. We’ve heard that a certain tech company gives out freezer bags!? Putting the wrong things in a well-being giftbox can really take away from all the potential benefits a gift box adds to your employee wellbeing strategy. To amend this, we’ve created a comprehensive corporate gift guide to help give your gift boxes a bit more meaning and a little less corporate junk!
Thoughtful well-being-oriented gift ideas
Snacks
The issue with a lot of corporate gifts that are given without much thought is that they end up in a drawer or sat on a desk and never get used. The good thing about snacks is that they get eaten – and it’s hard to resist them, particularly if they’re tasty. We’ve tried all the snacks that you can put in our gift boxes, they’re pretty good! So think about adding some snacks to your gift box, Or just filling the box with edible goodies!

Pens & Notepads
Usually one of the more mundane corporate gifts but with a few tweaks they can be something well-received in a corporate environment. Rather than branding these items, sometimes something a little bit more personal can make a much nicer gift. Remember, employees have individual personalities they’re not clones!

Coffee & Tea
Hot drinks play a vital role in the corporate world! What would most of us do without them… However, it’s not often that we get to try different kinds of coffees and teas. Once you find one you like, you tend to stick to it. Crafting a gift box for staff is a great way to introduce them to some new (and delicious!) Coffees and Teas! Have a look at the tea selection on our websites' Care Package Builder
Mindfulness / Wellbeing Books
Who doesn’t like a good coffee table or toilet read? The books on our site are a little better than that though. Focused on mental health and wellbeing, we think there is a guaranteed morale boost to employees and cover a lot of common employee wellbeing issues.
Self-care items
Last but not least is self-care items. Luxuries that we all love but don’t think to purchase for ourselves most of the time: bath salts, scented candles, Aromatherapy kits, face masks, and more. These things are sure to make employees' evenings better and remind them that their place of work values their contributions to the company!
You can use these few example items as a starting point. However, the main takeaway of this blog post is that if you think in more depth about gifts that will add value to your employee's wellbeing, then those gifts are going to be much more well-received and you will start to see the benefits of taking employee wellbeing seriously!
Why A Gift Box?
Improve client relations
They’re not just for staff, you’re clients are important to you too and a gift box wouldn’t go a miss at improving that B2B relationship. Showing clients you care about their wellbeing is a sure-fire way to secure a long and healthy business relationship.
Impress potential clients
Gifts have a habit of winning people over, especially when they’re good! Prospective clients are more inclined to work with a business that cares about them, their well-being, and thier success – so show them you do!
Guaranteed morale boost
The office can always benefit from a morale boost and our Brown Paper Packages are designed just for that purpose. Whether an individual in the office needs it or the whole corporation! Implementing activities like our gift boxes into your employee wellbeing strategy is essential!

Thoughtful gifts mean more
