Employee Morale Gifts from All The Buzz Gifts

Employee Morale Gifts

Do your employees deserve a morale boost?

These are difficult times, for sure. And, everyone is spending so much time alone and away from their colleagues and the office.

Have you seen our Home Worker’s Survival Kit, yet? (And we have them in small, medium and large and 3 different price points.)

We have created lots of employee morale gifts over the last 16 years. The 88 baskets we made in this black leatherette with the big yellow bows were for an accounting firm. Aren’t they super cheerful?

You will love these gifts on our blog from March 2020. Lots of smiley faces to go around. More employee morale gifts here.

We have also created lots of new hire gifts for some local tech companies. We love working with our corporate clients on retirement gifts, new hire gift, thank you gifts, and work from home survival kit thank you gifts! We have fun creating with our clients and love bringing their own employees lots of glee and joy.

We created this for one of our corporate clients who wanted to boost the morale of their employees who have been working from home the past 5 months.  All of the zoom meetings get to be so overwhelming and never getting to see your colleagues in person can be demoralizing. These are strange times and the world is a little bit upside down. So, one of our clients sent the Work from Home Survival Kit to boost their team’s morale.

work-from-home-kit

This kit has snacks, yo-yo, caramel corn, and vitamin c energize boost!  New times require new, thoughtful gifts. And, this one is fun, especially for those new to working at home. It includes coffee, snacks, immunity boosters, earplugs, fun activities like jump rope, yo-yo, silly putty, playing cards, and chocolate aspirins. Personalization is available.  (We can personalize with vinyl lettering, custom ribbon and it is just a small upcharge.)

At All The Buzz, we specialize in custom corporate gifts. If you have any ideas you would like to talk through, give me a call at 408-504-3703 or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com and we can brainstorm and spitball and come up with something extra special for your department and company.

We have a super cool machine that allows us to put vinyl lettering on gifts and baskets. A really fun idea for company logos – especially on the metal baskets and ceramic frames.

In case you live locally here in San Jose, you are always welcome to come out to our workshop in San Jose (by appointment) and you can always save on shipping by coming and pick up your gifts at our workshop. (Just to text us ahead of time to make sure we are there.) We have been making gift baskets here in Silicon Valley for over 16 years, so we have a pretty robust “beehive” workshop on San Felipe Road.

Corporate Birthday Gifts for Your Employees

 

 

 

Boredom Buster Gift Basket

pandemic-gift-basketIf your kids have been home all summer, you can probably relate to this gift basket we created. This quarantine is driving us all up a wall! I think we are all as bored as our kids are.

We are calling this the Boredom Buster Gift Basket and it is perfect for families or people who are quarantined and have played every game and put every puzzle together one too many times!

Sodas, munchies, Jelly Belly jelly beans, salt-water taffy, flavored popcorn, 5 Second Game, puzzle, Big Book of Family Games (travel-friendly book guarantees hours of hilarious, technology-free fun that requires nothing more than creative minds), rice krispy brick, toffee pretzels, and other goodies. Have you played the 5 Second Game? Here is more info about it:   “The 5 Second Rule Uncensored Board Game comes with 150 question cards, a Twisted Timer, and the game rules pamphlet. The rules of the game are simple, spit out the answers to the question you are asked in five seconds, no matter what they are!” These games are a great way to get your family to all stop staring at their phone. 

Definitely check out our Pandemic Survival Kit, too. They could both be perfect for a family road trip.

You can take this gift basket on your next family road trip, your next beach house, or Air BNB rental. It’s loaded with fun stuff for you and everyone in your group. It will keep you all very busy.  And, it comes in a super cool trunk that you can use when you get back home and store your games in for more fun later.

Custom Gift Baskets in San Jose

We can also customize these for your family or for your company, too. We can add vinyl lettering to customize it with your family name or company logo. We can also add custom ribbon and add goodies to personalize this boredom buster for your family or your department.

If I can help you with a custom gift for your family or for your company, call me at 408-506-3703 or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com and we can brainstorm some great ideas for you.

Be sure to also check us out on Facebook or Instagram to see all kinds of fun ideas we create.

Pandemic Survival Kit

pandemic-survival-kitHonestly, I never would have imagined I would ever make a gift basket with a roll of toilet paper, but it is 2020 and it had to be done! This was made more tongue in cheek, but we have sold some and we have received a lot of requests for them, so here we are.

We are calling it our Global Pandemic Survival Kit and it is $50. Buy here.

Need a large quantity of these survival kits? Call me. We can make these custom and we can add on other products for you, too.  Let me list here what this one includes:

  1. a germ key
  2. face mask
  3. goggles
  4. gloves
  5. Lysol,
  6. hand sanitizer
  7. immune-boosting lollipop
  8. toilet paper
  9. stress ball
  10. chocolate aspirins
  11. and a 6-foot measuring tape

We specialize in custom gift baskets and corporate gifting, so if you need a bunch of these for teachers going back to their classrooms for their distance teaching, or your department could use a little morale boost, let me help. Call me at 408-504-3703 or email me at Shawn@AllTheBuzzGifts.com.

This could also make a great gift for someone who is moving back into their dorm this Fall or someone moving into their new home or new apartment.  Who knows. You all are so creative, I am sure you will think of lots of fun ideas for this fun gift.

Gifts for Essential Staff and Frontline Workers

We also have some frontline gifts and comfort gifts for nurses, doctors, and hospital workers, here. We are all so grateful to all of the people who are very bravely working in our hospitals, clinics, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and schools. We have something for everyone at All The Buzz Gifts.

Custom Gift Baskets and Corporate Gifting

In case you did not know it, we can do some very fun personalization and customization of any of our gift baskets. We can add vinyl lettering to items or to boxes. We can create a custom ribbon with the recipient’s name or our company logo, too.  We can always add items like our rice Krispy treats, toffees, chocolates, custom mugs, and water bottles, so be sure to reach out. The custom ribbon starts at $5 and the other custom ideas go up from there.

If you need a large quantity of any of our products, I am happy to create a custom quote. And, I love getting on a call with my clients to brainstorm fun custom ideas for your large order. I look forward to working with you soon!

(We are in San Jose and you can always save on shipping and come and pick up your gifts at our beehive workshop. But, be sure to make an appointment so we can be sure that we are there when you want to pick up our gift.)

Corporate Birthday Gifts for Your Employees

Birthday-gift-for-your-employee

We do a lot of corporate gifting and one of our favorite programs is when our clients want us to ship their employees’ birthday presents. We also do Birthday or Anniversary Gifts for Your Employees.

Since 2004 we have had all kinds of fun requests! Some companies choose a theme for the entire year. Other companies send a more personalized gift for their employee to arrive at the employee’s home the week of the employee’s birthday. 

We also have a New Hire/Onboarding Gift Program. 

Birthday Basket Program for Employers

We even have some that do one big huge birthday MONTH gift basket to the entire company for all of that month’s birthday celebrants. When are only doing the “12 per year” for a corporate client, we end up going with a theme for each month. (With HR’s approval, of course.)

Most of our corporate customers, send us a spreadsheet at the beginning of the year so we can do some planning and forecasting. Then the HR or other department follows up with us at the beginning of each month to confirm the recipient’s name and current address.

Then They Leave the Rest Up To Us!

Once the company gives us the budget for the basket, we get started. Of course, we always have to remember the shipping charges. Most of our baskets ship for about $16 per boxed-up gift basket. We like to use USPS for home deliveries when we can. Occasionally it is more affordable to use UPS. We do ship all over the U.S. and the Bay Area, of course. If the person’s home address is within 10 miles of our beehive/workshop on San Felipe Road in San Jose, we can also do a personal delivery.

We can also do one or two specific baskets for all of the recipients. Typically, that requires some consulting and a short phone or Zoom meeting at the beginning of the new year to get the “standard” basket designed and then we create that basket for that company each time one of their employees has a birthday. Some companies prefer that their employees all get the same gift all year long so no one feels slighted or favored. As you can probably tell, we can work your own company’s birthday program any way it works for your business. We are here to make the task easy and convenient for your company.

3 Ways To Thank and Comfort Essential Workers

Gifts for Nurses and Hospital Staff | A New Heart and a New Liver

TwoHeart-Hat-Gift of our clients bought gifts for the team that helped their family members with a new heart and a new liver!

Both of these fabulous ladies send thank you gifts to the team of people that helped their respective partners.

Thank You to the team that helped her boyfriend get a brand new heart and another one bought some gifts for the team that helped her husband with his liver transplant! Isn’t that amazing? I still cannot even imagine what getting a heart transplant is like – for that matter – I cannot imagine any kind of organ transplant. So complicated.

Birthday Gifts: Unique Birthday Present Ideas

Birthday-gifts-for-friendsDid you know there are more birthdays in September than any other month? Fascinating article about September birthdays from Business Insider:

More babies are born in early September because couples have an easier time conceiving around Christmas time. A recent study found that the winter season holds biological perks for pregnancy. The tendency to “hook up” during the holidays also likely explains the peak in wintertime conceptions.

We have some great ideas for your friends and family.

  1. Coffee or Tea Lover in Your Friends Group? We have this great leatherette gift basket filled with honey, coffee, tea, pretzels, chocolate spoons, granola, pocket latte, and other goodies. Buy Here : $90 
  2. Is one of your friends focused on their health? How about our Healthy Options gift basket for $90? Market basket is filled with healthier treat options including salmon, crisps, tapenade, yogurt pretzels, veggie chips, fruit chips, and a variety of nuts, seed & nut bars. Personalize plaque or ribbon for a small charge. More info to buy it here. Buy Here : $90
  3. Is your bestie or sister about to turn 50 or 60 or having some other kind of special birthday? What if you emailed all of her favorite people and asked them for a photo and ask them to send it to you so you can make a collage and set up a Zoom of a Facebook Live Surprise Party for their special birthday?
  4. Stop by the liquor store (they are still essential, after all) and buy a great bottle of tequila, some limes, salt, and some scratchers and drop it off on your besties porch. Maybe they will share the winnings with you!
  5. What is your friend’s favorite color? We can customize a basket together for you based on their favorite color, their favorite sports team, or their favorite hobby. We have a way to make a custom ribbon and have hundreds of colors.  ($5 fee.) We can also personalize a gift like this one we did for a new Dad with his baby’s name on it with a vinyl cling. Check out the basket for the Dad of baby “Wyatt.” ($10 fee).

Custom-gift-basket-san-jose

6. You can always make a hand-made custom gift certificate for your friend or family member. It is very difficult to get your car washed and your yard mowed during this Shelper In Place. It is also tricky to get your house cleaned – and what a great gift. You can offer to cook a meal or clean the cupboard for a friend as a very personalized homemade gift card. Of course, wear your masks and stay 6 to 10′ away from your friends so everyone stays healthy.

7. Bake your special person a homemade cake, cookies, or a lasagna! Everyone loves home-cooked goodies.

3 Ways To Thank and Comfort Essential Workers

Check Out These Beauties We Personalized for a Client

custom-gift-basket-bay-areaDoes your team need a thank you or a morale boost? Maybe you want to reward your team with a custom gift like these? We can make a basket specifically for you and exactly how you want them.

These are fully custom for a specific workgroup. There were about 14 of the team members we personalized these gifts for.

Their employer gave them “surprise” gifts from us. We made them specifically the way they designed them. Lots of input from their manager to make them extra special. We used their logo and their purple color – purple! We used our faux leather-bound tray and we put a custom label on the side of it to make it extra personal. 

These were instead of the usual fancy year-end dinner. It was for a special teacher’s board this year, thanks to a certain virus! We hope they like all the customizing we added to really personalize!

 #utsc #businessgftssanjose #sanjosegiftbaskets #santaclaragiftsource #corporategifts  

You can see we make our baskets very uniform so everyone feels like we treated them with equal care and precision. We always want to make all of our clients feel extra special and pampered. When we make baskets, we have several people in the chain to make extra happy – the buyer and the receive.

We have made hundreds of personalized and custom gifts and gift baskets over the past 16 years. We have made gifts for property managers, nurses, medical departments, boutiques, wedding parties, car dealership employees, medical clinics full of employees, hotels, conventions, small independent businesses, realtors, and spas. You name it, we have made them. We can make them big or small and we welcome all budgets.
