Donât misunderstand us, there is absolutely nothing wrong with branded t-shirts.
But if you are looking to celebrate your employees differently this year, here are four ideas for how you can show your appreciation without adding to that pile of old branded swag at the bottom of your employeesâ closet.
1. Treat your employees to dinner
If you have a small enough team, and they all live in the same area, a fun and easy way to celebrate your staff is to take them out to a nice dinner. Footing the bill for a large group can be painful, but with these restaurant gift cards, you wonât have to worry about breaking the bank.
