Administrative Professionals Day Gift Ideas 2023 – Best Admin Ever Gifts

Written by Shawn on April 6, 2023. Posted in Buzz Blog.

Administrative professionals are the backbone of so many businesses. They really keep things running
smoothly. Let’s celebrate them with the upcoming Administrative Professionals Day Gift Ideas. So, I know some administrative professionals. In fact, they are one of the most likely folks to call us to order gifts, for others, of course! Based on what we’ve heard from them and our research, we present our top 5 tips for administrative professional gifts. Oh, and by the way, these are for those folks
that could use a little help. If you know your admin staff so well that you know what they’d like, then, by all means, go with that first and foremost. Let’s keep your admin happy on admin day!

1. Consider their interests! Think about what you know about them or see on their desk. Do they
love gardening, the beach, or spending time with their grandkids? A gift that pertains to their
favorite things is sure to be thoroughly enjoyed. And, they are sure to recognize that you value
their work-life balance as well.

2. Avoid very personal gifts. Things like perfume and clothing are big decisions and leave room for
misinterpretation. I certainly wouldn’t want to give a gift that involved any kind of sizing, it is
just difficult and too personal. Even alcohol should be avoided unless you know for certain that
it will be well accepted and works with their lifestyle. Let us keep your admin happy on admin day!

3. Useful items that make work life easier are a great choice. In this area, it is always best to go
with something they have asked for or hinted at. Maybe that adjustable standing desk or luxe
desk organizer would make the perfect gift this year. I do recommend adding something fun to
work-centered gifts such as a succulent planter or box of chocolates. This is just to make sure
that your gift conveys the message of “Happy Day”, not “Get to Work!”.

4. Make sure that your gift doesn’t infringe on their free time. Unless you know for sure that they

Administrative Professionals Day: Say Thank You With an Admin Support Gift Basket

Is there anyone more important than the Administrative Assistant at your company?

Our guess is NO!

Say Thank You with an Admin Support Gift Basket, Gift Box, or a tray like we have pictured below.

You Are So Appreciated Gift

Some companies call this position an Executive Admin and others call this position Administrative Professional. Here in Silicon Valley, we often hear the term “EA.” And, everyone knows the EA is the actual boss! They know the calendar, they have the credit card, and they know who the right people within the company to get things done. (And, they know how to get the travel expense reports turned in and paid before the credit card bill is even due.)

Administrative Assistants Week

But, seriously, thanking your Administrative Assistant can be tricky. We are here to help you show your appreciation for the person running your department or your life. This year, the actual day is April 27th – but it is a good idea to recognize the entire week as it is known as Administrative Professional’s Week. (Yes, they deserve an entire week!)

We have a few blogs with ideas for you. This one we created in 2016 for Administrative Professional’s Week.

Last year, we wrote this “How Do You Thank Your Administrative Assistant During a Pandemic” blog.

We love to create custom gifts for your Administrative Assistant and we can create any quantity from 1 to 500 if you need a whole bunch. We can create gift boxes or gift baskets and we can work around your budget. We also can ship out gift boxes

Admin Professionals Day is April 27th and we have got you covered!

We have written a few blog articles about this day because it is VERY important to remember your admin. Your admin most likely talks with you and works with you more often than your partner or spouse. They often run the whole show and you may rely on that person VERY HEAVILY. He or she definitely deserves a gift or bonus, right?

This is the live link to all of the gifts in our “business” category and there are about a

You’re On Mute! Mug and other gifts

Written by Shawn on April 14, 2021. Posted in Buzz Blog, Silicon Valley Corporate Gifting.

If the Pandemic has a rally cry, it is definitely “You’re On Mute!” Right? How many times have we said that during our millions of virtual meetings?

Zoom meetings, Facetime meetings, WebEx meetings, Skype meetings…. it happens on all of the platforms. We try to be polite and put ourselves on mute to cut down on background noise and then we forget when it’s our turn to talk. Then suddenly your colleagues all start motioning to you and pantomiming to you that they cannot hear you. ACK! “You’re on mute!”

Admin Day 2020 : April 22nd – How Do You Thank Your Admin During a Pandemic?

Written by Shawn on April 15, 2020. Posted in Buzz Blog, Silicon Valley Corporate Gifting.

Administration Professional’s Day is Wednesday, April 22nd this year, but this global pandemic gives us a new challenge of showing gratitude. More than likely, you and your admin are not working under the same roof these days, right? So, we have a few solutions for you.

We can help you look as smart and as efficient as your executive admin makes you look. We have lots of perfect gifts and most likely have a beautiful basket that your assistant will adore.

The basket in our featured image here includes wine from a local winery and tasting room called Left Bend. (And in includes this local vineyard’s best and lovely accompaniments.) Brie, crackers, Cabernet Sauvignon and other delicious goodies. The picnic-style basket is reusable and will last for years and years. For an extra $5, we can include a custom ribbon with their name or your company logo.

Do you overwork your admin? Does he or she deserve to be pampered and treated like the royalty they are? We have another gift that is perfect for your executive admin and we call it “Bee Luxurious” and it will definitely show how much you appreciate their patience, skills and the professionalism and resourcefulness they bring to the table.
