Valentine’s Day is not just about spoiling your partner or spouse, but also showing people that you care. Valentine’s Day gifts are great for boosting morale at work and the best part of all is that they need not be expensive or extravagant. There are plenty of lovely ideas that you can send to men and women for this occasion.
Chocolates are always popular for Valentine’s Day and they need not be associated with love. They can be a token of your friendship or appreciation. Chocolates are great because your employees can even share them with their spouse or significant other if they wish. It’s a good idea to consider presenting each employee with a chocolate bouquet or even a box of luxury chocolates.
If your budget allows, you could even give everyone a bottle of bubbly along with delicious chocolates and perhaps even a silk rose. The size of the gifts you buy will depend on your budget and the number of employees you are planning on pampering.
You could even use this opportunity to give your staff a performance incentive. You can treat each employee to something small yet meaningful and have a raffle or performance evaluation to determine the winner of a larger gift basket.
If you are on a particularly tight budget, you could order several chocolate bouquets and present each employee with a single “stem”. If you like, you can attach a special message to each “stem” and hand them out in person for that personal touch. Remember, when it comes to building morale in the workplace, there’s nothing more powerful than the encouragement of management.
Don’t forget, the holidays are barely behind us which means that this is the time of year when we are all more likely to suffer from seasonal lows and feel the financial pinch. All the more reason to make the most of this occasion to set the tone for the rest of the year.
