With Christmas behind us, we're looking ahead to the arrival of the Easter bunny! We love Easter. It spells the end of a long, bleak winter, and as the season changes, we welcome longer days, fresh flowers, new life and a new start.
Easter is also a superb opportunity for companies to promote employee well-being and strengthen their company culture. There are many ways in which businesses can demonstrate their commitment to their staff, such as team breakfasts, treasure hunts, family fun days and more. For those that wish to offer their employees and their families company Easter gifts, you may be wondering what is appropriate and set to be popular this year.
Company Easter gifts
Chocolate is traditionally gifted at Easter in the form of Easter eggs and novelty chick and lamb-shaped chocolate. It is enduringly popular and also available in nut-free and vegan varieties to suit every dietary need. Chocolate is very easily personalised with a company logo or motto, either by stamping the chocolate during the manufacturing process or piping on chocolate or icing in a contrasting colour following manufacture.
Hot cross buns are a popular alternative if you want to steer away from chocolate but enjoy the food theme. Whilst it is trickier to brand the product, the packaging can easily be personalised to suit your specific requirements. Alternatively, foodie gift boxes and food hampers are a very thoughtful offering which can include local jams, honey and other accompaniments.
Last year, branded arts and crafts sets were very popular with adults and children alike and we expect them to remain so this year. Adult colouring books are an excellent way of promoting relaxation, whilst stickers and feathers can keep an employee's children occupied for hours, giving them a chance to relax. Books, pens and pencil cases are all perfect candidates for personalisation and offer the ideal opportunity to promote your business whilst also being practical corporate Easter gifts.
For those businesses that want to offer their employees a longer-lasting gift, egg cups and coffee mugs are an excellent choice. Again, these are products which are easily personalised with a company name, logo or phrase. They are available in a vast selection of colours and styles and will be used with relish at the breakfast table for years to come.
