Reddit is a great resource for getting real answers to questions, including what people would consider a good employee gift.
So, we scoured Reddit for ideas on what employee gifts individuals actually appreciate, especially in 2024, when drinkware or custom journals just don’t hit the same as they used to. While these items are tried-and-tested evergreen corporate gifts, businesses that are thoughtful about rewarding their hard-working employees prefer appreciation gifts that are useful and personalized.
Reddit said…
We observed one particular answer that Redditors gave several times—Apple AirTags (or products that are compatible with Airtags).
2023 and 2024 have been and will be the year for travel for many people. If we look at the greater value put on work-life balance and the growing interest to see more of the world, in general, it does make sense that something like an AirTag would be a highly appreciated employee gift.
We 100% agree with this answer because:
- It’s not a cheap, run-of-the-mill employee gift that they’ll end up throwing away within a week.
- It sends the right message to the team (i.e. “We value your efforts and you deserve an equally valuable reward.“)
- It’s also not an excessively expensive gift for work to the point that it takes up too much of management’s budget.
Personalized AirTags and AirTag Accessories
In our last blog, we discussed how personalization and sustainability are going to play a big role in consumer behavior. That same idea applies to employee engagement, which is why we also recommend personalizing your gifts for the team.
Good thing we already have AirTags and AirTag accessories that you can personalize and hand out to your team.
Here are some of our top picks (Links to the items below)
- Custom AirTag – The minimum order is 5, starting at $50 each.
- Custom Leather Apple AirTag Case – Available in black and brown. Pad print your logo to personalize.
- Custom Silicone Apple AirTag Case – A cheaper option from the leather case. Offered in red, black, and blue.
- RFID Wallet with AirTag Holder – Slim and compact with anti-skimming credit card protector. Highly recommended gift combo with the tracker.
When it comes to rewarding your employees, it’s essential to keep your ears on the ground to understand what makes them feel appreciated. Do a survey, see what’s trending, and ask yourself if what you’re planning to give the team is something you’ll also enjoy.
