Virtual team-building experience in Europe!
If you’re organizing a holiday party this year, why not take it up a notch and treat your team to a virtual trip to Spain, France – maybe even Italy?
Create a virtual European extravaganza where coworkers can “travel” from home or office to a virtual destination with no passport required. Begin the evening with a toast from Paris, gather everyone around the pooping Christmas log in wacky Barcelona and then finish it all off with a race around your home on a Santa Mozzarella scavenger hunt in Italy.
Not traveling has never been this fun!
Care Package
An employee care package offers your team members a ton of options while promoting your company’s brand! Filled with your company’s swag, healthy and delicious snacks, personalized messages, sweet treats, and other unique goodies — this team gift will be loved by all!
Take this 60-second quiz to start building the perfect care package for your team.
Office supplies gift set
A great way to do this is through a box filled with custom-made office supplies that showcase how their team is unique.
Build up a nice basket with cute gifts such as personalized sticky notes and business cards for each member, colorful pens, to-do lists that will make them want to tick some tasks, a coffee mug with the company logo, a genius desk accessory for organization, or reusable water bottles for instance.
Pro tip: If you are looking for fun office gadgets or whimsical desk accessories to insert in the basket, make sure to read our related blog post here!

Company apparel
Another team gift idea that works well, especially if the team is doing home office in different locations, is team company apparel!
With custom team t-shirts, caps, sweatshirts, or hoodies proudly showing the company logo and a personal touch, you can design unique and pretty corporate clothes that your employees will actually use!

Tech Gifts
Because who doesn’t love a new gadget? If your company is able to spare some budget, choose an electronic that will make everyone happy regardless if they work from home or the office.

When sales team members spend their day on the go with meetings, team events, and team building activities, a portable charger comes very handy for when they need to recharge their phone!
Wireless earbuds or headphones

Those will surely please your collaborators and be seen as great appreciation gifts!
Health & Wellness
Wellness Box
If you’re looking for team gift ideas that will improve team members’ productivity and boost employee morale, wellness should be at the top of your list!
With bath and body gifts, team members will feel appreciated and fulfilled in a way that has a positive effect on their work. Fill a team wellness box with different items and team members will love you for this!
You can include different items such as shower oils, essential oil diffusers, face masks, or body soap. You can even throw in a fresh and natural hand sanitizer, a handy item to have these days!
Depending on what your employees enjoy doing, you might also add sports accessories like yoga mats or fitness bands that they can use at the office during lunch break or in their free time.
This nice gesture will be a great tool for your teammates to relieve stress after a busy day or during tough times, so do consider it!
Spa day
And last but not least, another great thoughtful gift could be a spa day!

From yoga and meditation to HIIT and dance cardio, there are plenty of options that your team members can choose from according to their interests. And the best part is that they can do it from the comfort of their homes!

Don’t forget to include a great bottle of red wine or Champagne for them to share too!
Virtual Team Gifts: Ideal for Remote Teams
Great employee gifts can also come from sharing an experience with the full reunited team.
With employees working remotely, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t share a convivial time, it just means that you need to be more inventive, and here we come to help you!
Invite your entire team to a virtual picnic
