Everything You Need to Know About Welcome Back Gifts – A Guide To Welcome Back Gifts
Welcoming in a Motivated 2025 Year with Flare
Returning to work after the holiday season can feel like a bit of a jolt—those relaxed days of vacation are suddenly replaced with emails, meetings, and the usual hustle. What if you could make that transition a little smoother? Enter Welcome Back Gifts.
These thoughtful surprises can be a fun and unique way to turn the post-holiday blues into a burst of energy and excitement. In this blog, we explore everything you need to know when it comes to sending back-in-action hampers. We look at why these gifts matter, who should receive them, and give you some present choice inspiration.
Why Welcome Back Gifts Matter
There are many reasons why giving your clients, employees and suppliers return hampers is a smart idea. However, today we’re focusing on the three most important motives.
- It boosts morale. Let’s face it: Coming back to work after a break isn’t always easy. Now imagine what receiving a surprise hamper must do to that mindset. That’s like being offered chocolates at the end of a dinner party when you think the courses are all done—it makes everyone smile and feel appreciated. It is also extra motivation to return the next time you get an invite.
- It reinforces relationships. Is there a better way to say “We’re glad to be working with you again” like a gift that isn’t office stationery? This gesture will remind employees, clients, and suppliers that they’re more than just email recipients—they’re partners in your success.
- Set a Positive Tone. First impressions matter—even if it’s your hundredth return to the office. This kind gesture says, “This year will be a good one!” AND helps them feel it. It’s like kicking off a party with treats instead of a long speech—everyone’s happier.
Choosing Your Welcome Back Gift Recipients
In an ideal world, we would encourage everyone to get a back-in-action hamper. The benefits each would provide your business are all valuable to your ongoing success.
If budgets are forcing you to keep it more concentrated though, we have provided your three recipient options below. This is to give you an easy way to make an informed decision about what’s most important to your company in its current business journey.
Employees
Your employees are the gears that keep everything running smoothly, and a welcome-back gift is like the change of oil needed to keep them turning happily. It’s a small gesture with immense effect. It sparks team spirit, boosts motivation, and sets the stage for an energised and productive return.
Suppliers
Behind every successful business is a supplier who didn’t drop the ball. They are your axles that keep the wheels turning (and the shelves stocked), often without much fanfare. A little recognition goes a long way in showing you value their role in your success. You might even get the extra benefit of faster deliveries, friendlier emails and a friend who is happy to do you a favour. It’s a win-win.
Clients
Clients are the high-octane fuel that keeps your business running at full speed. A welcome-back gift is like a premium additive—it enhances the relationship and keeps everything running smoothly. Sending a back-in-action hamper shows gratitude for their support and helps ensure your business remains their first choice when they’re ready to accelerate their next steps. After all, happy clients mean a smoother trip to success.
