Need staff gift ideas

[ChattaDIS]

I need ideas for something to get my staff for a holiday gift. I am looking for something unique and good quality that they would really enjoy. I have gotten them hydro flasks and cool blankets in the past. I need 7 total and would like to spend $20-25 each. Sort of need some Oprahs favorite things ideas

I received a contigo travel mug as a gift last year. I love it for both hot and cold beverages.

Are there both males and females? Is there a large range of ages? Mostly over age 40, or mostly 35 and under? I will try and think of a few unique gifts in your price range.

6 females. 1 male. Ages 30s and 40s.

Here are a few different ideas:

Cobra Clip Action 3-in-1 Digital Camera/Video/Light

Reusable Chill/Hot Tote Bags

Regular Reusable Bags Set of 10

Thirsty Coasters (Available in lots of stores and online)


Those are just a few ideas for different gifts that most people wouldn't typically receive but are gender-neutral.

This makes a really great gift that people truly love and will actually use:

Pottery Barn Pocket Watch Clock

But the smallest size is a little out of your price range. I thought perhaps you could find a 10% off code or something.

If you just want a simple lighthearted gift:

Ziplock Candy Dish and you can add in a gourmet candy with it.

This is so cute! I may get it for one of my co-workers, she always has a ziploc bag on her desk with candy and cookies. Doesn't look like this has a lid, so will have to fill it with individually wrapped candy.

OP, last year (when I had more staff, before budget cuts) I bought a keurig and a bunch of pods of coffee and hot chocolate to go with it as a "group" gift, and they all loved it. The few of us who are left still enjoy it I also received a tervis-like cup from my boss, and I enjoyed it (but I drink a ton of water at work, so it was a practical gift for me).

A bottle of wine?

As someone who has been on the recieving end of quite a few staff gifts over the years, one of my favorite ones was movie tickets. One of my bosses went to AAA and gave everyone 4 movie tickets. My husband and I loved them. I've started doing it as teacher gifts for my kids' teachers.

A co-worker did this for her staff a few years ago and they all loved it. She bought the movie tickets and a few boxes of candy that you can get for $1and found a plastic container that looked liked a popcorn box to put them in.

Movie tickets are a great idea! Everyone likes to go to the movies as a treat and they are ridiculously priced nowadays. I think movie tickets are a great gift.

That sounds like a winner. Thanks.

So for a follow up question. What is the best way to buy the tickets for a deal. I think we primarily have carmike.

With candy & a Starbucks GC!

We buy our tickets through AAA. They sell tickets to Regal- the area's chain theater. I would check and see if AAA sells tickets for carmike theaters.

We get ours for $7 a ticket. So for the teachers we get 2 tickets, a $10concession gift card and a box of concession candy for a $1. In all it costs me $25 a teacher.
