What makes an excellent gift from remote team members?
There are no rules on what constitutes a good gift for a remote team. A gift for a remote team member can be anything from a physical item to some company swag. It should be unique and personal, and also reflect the personality of the person to whom it’s being given. Here are some gift ideas that you can try out:
Headset (noise-canceling)
A noise-canceling headset is a great, practical gift that you can give to your team members. Noise-canceling headsets help remote workers by blocking out ambient noise and focusing on the conversation at hand. They also provide a distraction-free environment that allows your team to concentrate on what they are doing without being distracted by their surroundings.
A mug
Giving a mug to your remote team is a great way to show appreciation for their hard work and dedication. While there are many mugs to choose from, it’s best to choose something that not only has meaning for your company, but also reflects who you are as a company - like a mug with your company logo or one that features a positive, motivating quote.
Snack box
A snack box is a gift that you can send to your remote team. It contains a variety of goodies like snacks, drinks, and other treats. This is a thoughtful way to show your appreciation for their hard work and to make them feel like they are a valuable part of the team.
Coffee & tea
Coffee and tea are two of the most popular drinks in the world. These drinks are a part of our daily routine and we all have our favorite brands. Treating your remote workers to their favorite cup of coffee or tea will be sure to brighten their day. Coffee and tea can also help your remote workers stay alert, focused, and energized throughout their day.
Desk organizer
Desk organizers are an essential gift for any remote team. They can make your workday easier and help you stay on track by providing a central location for all the important resources, including pens, pencils, daily planners, or calendars that remote teams need to stay on track and organized.
A journal or notebook
A journal can help your remote team stay organized and focused on their work. It’s a space for them to write about their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and plans throughout the day or week.
Simple workout gear
Giving your remote team a simple workout gear helps them stay healthy and productive. With many teams working from home, this is a great way to add something to their space. The gear should be simple at-home workout tools, including resistance bands, jump ropes, and stability balls.
A houseplant
Giving a houseplant to your remote team is a great way to show them that you care. Plants can bring a calming presence to their remote workspace, and, of course, are beautiful to look at. A houseplant is a great way for your team to add some life to their remote offices.

Rather than a physical gift, a surprise virtual party is a unique way to celebrate your remote employees. At Bar None Games, we can help organize the perfect team-building event for your virtual or hybrid team. Book a live-hosted trivia game now.
