Giving Gifts to co-workers after Covid-19

While the world feels quite different from the one we were in just a few months ago, for better or worse we’re slowly getting back to normal. For many of us that means getting back to work and you might well find yourself spending more time with the colleagues you have no doubt been sorely missing (or not) for the last few months. So, in a new socially distanced world of Perspex screens, endless hand sanitising and face coverings, how can we reconnect with our colleagues?
One good way is through gift giving. Gifts are normally the way we should gratitude and appreciation for someone else in a kind and personal way. But perhaps in this new situation gifts can take on a whole new meaning.

Life may be improving for many of our friends, family, and colleagues but lots of people are still struggling, perhaps with spending so much time in a flat or apartment or perhaps with the stress that being more isolated has brought. Yet, we have the power to improve that. In a world that has never felt more distant, a small gift can convey care and has immense power to improve the emotional and mental wellbeing of the recipient. Quite simply, receiving a gift is receiving a sign of appreciation. So, what kind of gifts could help you to reconnect with your co-workers?

A Little Indulgence

Gift giving is not a chore so there is no need to splurge, especially as excessive gifts may make your co-workers feel uncomfortable given the pressure to reciprocate in times when many are facing financial constraints. A little gift that is both good value and indulgent could be just what they need and will add something to their life that they can really look forward to. Perhaps it’s a box of luxury chocolates or calming English tea. A small skincare set that is suited to their age or gender might be just what a colleague needs to improve their wellbeing and is sure to be appreciated.

Never Underestimate the Power of Fresh Flowers

Here at Give Gift Boutique we have been producing the finest bouquets that money can buy since 2008, and one thing we have learnt is that you should never underestimate the power of fresh flowers. Flowers have the power to uplift, to liven, to excite and so much more. In difficult times, seeing flowers that someone has gifted you is a daily reminder that you are appreciated and can give you the boost that you need. It is important to remember that flowers should be chosen carefully if the recipient is a co-worker, as flowers such as roses could infer romantic intentions. A safer option would be orchids, long-lasting, vibrant and with an understated elegance that can be appreciated by all.

Giving Gifts from a Distance

As we all transition into a ‘new normal’ physical contact is likely to be restricted which means that giving gifts in person may be somewhat challenging. However, this needed stop you from giving to your co-workers as we offer several fast delivery options that allow you to send you precious gifts right to your co-worker’s door! We also offer the option of including a note with your gift delivery that allows you to send a greeting, a few touching words and show that you are the sender. Your colleagues will no doubt appreciate such a considerate gift and even in changed circumstances you will benefit from stronger relationships.
