There’s no better way to show appreciation for fem-power in the workplace than through the art of gift giving. Whether it’s to congratulate them on a promotion, or to simply show them how cherished they are in the workplace, there’s an abundance of proper gift ideas to choose from.
When considering gifts for women staff members, it’s important to consider their preferences and interests as much as possible. Whether it’s something you often chat about in between work-related tasks, or something they seem to gravitate towards in conversation, the more catered towards their interests, the more appreciative the act will feel.
Here are some thoughtful ideas that often work well:
Wine Sets
The perfect wine set can showcase your appreciation in the best way possible!
When it comes to this, you can either create your own or buy a premade wine gift set.
Now, when it comes to creating your own wine gift set, you may feel lost, which is why we’re here to help out and offer guidance in crafting the perfect gift for your coworker.
Follow these precise steps to create the perfect wine gift from scratch:
The Wine Selection Itself
A quality bottle of wine that suits the recipient’s taste preferences or the occasion. There’s an abundance of options to choose from. You could go for a classic red, a Cabernet Sauvignon, or perhaps an alternate white, Pinot Grigio.
If you know the recipient of the gift has a sweet tooth, you could even go for something more extravagant and vivacious, like a tangy Peach Wine. Perfect for the current summer season!
Wine Glasses
Elegant wine glasses that are appropriate for the type of wine chosen are always the way to go. For instance, red wine glasses are typically larger and wider than white wine glasses.
Wine Opener
A reliable corkscrew or wine opener makes opening the bottle effortless and adds a touch of practical value to the gift.
Wine Stopper
A decorative or functional wine stopper to preserve leftover wine for later enjoyment is another practical gift, and serves to prolong the life of your gift.
Wine Coasters or Napkins
Coasters or napkins with theme-related designs complement the set and protect surfaces.
Personalized Stationery
Customized gifts like monogrammed journals, pens, or water bottles can feel special and appreciated. If you know they have a special interest, it is always best to base a theme around that special interest. This can go a long way to make the gesture even more meaningful.
Spa or Self-care Products
Gift sets with bath bombs, scented candles, or skincare products can provide relaxation and pampering. Especially after a long, stressful day at work, gifts of this sort are always appreciated!
Books
Perhaps a bestseller that’s been hyped up that sounds like it might be up their alley. You could also go for books related to their interests, such as leadership, fiction, or some other hot topic they’re always passionate about discussing in between work-related projects.
Gift Cards
Gift cards are always great because they let the person receiving the gift do all the work! Allow them to choose what they like with gift cards to their favorite stores, restaurants, museums, or online platforms.
Gourmet Treats
High-quality chocolates, gourmet coffee or tea sets, or artisanal snacks can be a delightful treat. Remember to always keep an eye out and look into individual preferences or any dietary restrictions/allergies when opting for food-related gifts.
Home/Office Decor
Elegant picture frames, decorative plants, or unique desk accessories can brighten up their workspace or home. It also serves as a cute reminder of the kind gesture in their day to day life. Something as small as a cute decorative desk plant could go a long way in making the space feel nicer.
Experiences
There’s nothing more special than a good memory. Sometimes those are the best keepsakes. Consider gifting experiences like cooking classes, spa treatments, or tickets to concerts or shows. Again, the more the gift is catered towards their interests, the more cherished the gift will be.
Chocolates or Gourmet Snacks
Chocolates, cheese, nuts, or other gourmet snacks are always a good choice as they provide both a little fuel for the day, and a tasty treat.
BnB Getaways or Gift Cards to Local Businesses
Everyone loves getting a little time feeling “at home,” but away from home. Even if this mini vacation isn’t to another city, a good night’s sleep at an enjoyable BnB – especially if that BnB comes with breakfast included! – is a big win.
You could also always aim for gift cards such as coffee shops, restaurants, museums, art galleries, or clothing stores. People often enjoy supporting local, small businesses, and such businesses usually offer something unique that your staff may truly enjoy.
