Top 5 Employee Appreciation Gifts

Employee appreciation gifts that actually get used

Employee appreciation has never been more layered. Companies are gifting across generations but what they all have in common is wanting to receive something useful and responsibly made.

The challenge is rarely budget. It is time. Finding sustainable employee gifts that are ethically made, beautifully designed and aligned with company values takes research that most teams simply do not have.

There is also a bigger conversation happening. Companies are increasingly focused on ESG commitments, yet the S, the social impact, often gets lost between the E and the G. Gifting with intention is one of the simplest ways to contribute to those social goals in a way that is visible, tangible and appreciated by the people receiving it.

Our concierge gifting makes it easier for companies to do good, curating gifts with a story behind them while accelerating the growth of women-owned businesses. A water bottle that plants a tree. A notebook bound in Austria to the highest environmental standards. A mouse pad hand-stitched by women rebuilding their lives in India. Gifts that give back, and that people actually want to keep.

Plant Based Water Bottle — from £29

Made using 60% less energy than a standard bottle. Every bottle purchased plants a native tree and you receive a QR code to track exactly where it was planted, in your company's name. Available in five colours, with Pantone matching available for larger orders.

City Notebook London — from £14.95

Designed and bound in Austria by a studio committed to keeping its entire supply chain local. FSC and PEFC certified paper, hand-pressed cover, available in seven colours. Small enough to carry anywhere, considered enough to keep. Ready in three to five days. 

Hand Stitched Leather Mouse Pad — from £43.50

Hand-stitched in India by 17 women who have escaped modern slavery and now earn an independent income through artisan workshops. Vegetable-tanned leather, Fairtrade certified. Each pad provides one hour of employment. The kind of detail you feel every time you sit down to work. 

rPET Washbag — from £27.90

Made from recycled plastic bottles. Water resistant, PETA-Approved Vegan, Global Recycled Standard certified and contributing 1% for the Planet. Durable, well organised inside and the kind of thing people keep for years. 

MagSafe Leather Cardholder — from £50

Handcrafted from repurposed full-grain leather, carefully selected from factories around Los Angeles and given a second life. Built-in RFID protection, magnetic attachment for compatible iPhones, holds one to three cards. Personalised with your company logo and brand colours. A premium piece that proves circular design can look this good.
