It’s almost that time of the year again, which means now is the perfect time to think about the gifts you’d like to distribute throughout your team this Christmas.
We depend so heavily on technology in our daily lives, that it shouldn’t be a surprise that gifting is leaning considerably towards tech products that can improve and enhance our lives.
This is even more so in the workplace, which is why tech and related gifts are absolutely perfect for your gadget loving team this Christmas.
In this blog, we’ll be looking at some of our absolute favourite tech gifts to distribute to your employees this festive season.
Why Tech Gifts For Your Team?
Despite what you might think, technology gifts don’t need to break the bank, but the trends definitely lean towards tech as the perfect gift. A recent study in the US found that 199 million people will be buying a tech-based product or service as a gift this Christmas.
Ideally tech gifts should be practical, functional, sleek and something that gets your team excited. While we’ve included some items you may expect to see in this list, we’ve also included some that you may not have thought of too.
Tech Swag Bag
The great thing about a tech swag bag is that you can add a mixture of items that can improve their working day, and offer something for them personally too.
Work-based items such as USBs, power banks, and charger cables can all help to streamline the work day, but then you can also add things such as blue-light glasses, cosmetics, clothing, vouchers and other personal touches for each employee that they’ll absolutely love!
Smart Water Bottles
Smart water bottles can be used both at work and at home, and will ultimately provide a health benefit to all of your team.
Smart water bottles are connected to an app and will glow or send a push notification letting the user know it’s time to take a sip to remain hydrated. Your employees can also use the app to track their daily consumption too.
A recent survey by drinks brand Britvic revealed that up 62% of Brits admit to not drinking enough water and a shocking 20% admit to not even drinking a glass of water in the past week.
As busy professionals, with often hectic schedules, it’s important that employers do their bit to keep their team’s health and wellbeing at the forefront of their thinking.
Waterproof Tech Bags
Waterproof tech bags and pouches are available in a range of sizes for various tech products, from larger ones for laptops to ones small enough for a smartphone.
Keeping tech products dry is obviously absolutely crucial, particularly the ones supplied by the business, and statistics show that more than 11% of smartphones are ruined each year due to water intake.
Bluetooth Speakers
High-quality speakers are a must for the modern employee, particularly those that find that music, podcasts and similar media is helpful for their concentration and wellbeing.
Speakers come in a range of brands, sizes, styles and price points, which means you can find the perfect option to please everyone in the team.
This is an especially useful gift for those that work from home, and even good quality speakers don’t need to break the bank either.
Wireless Headphones
Almost anyone can make use of a brand new pair of wireless headphones, and at USB Makers, we offer three different designs (Eclipse, Halo and Aries) to suit business branding with different logos and colours.
These are ideal for the modern professional, since they are highly portable, foldable and lightweight and can be used not only for music and podcasts but also during video meetings and calls too.
Coffee Air Brewer
These coffee brewers make use of air and pressure to create an incredibly smooth cup of coffee. Most options are electronic, so they are rechargeable and can even make up to 100 cups on a single full charge.
This is perfect for the coffee lovers in your team, or even those that prefer to start their day early with a nice cup of coffee. The ideal thing with this option is that this is something that your employees will use over and over again.
Branded Winter Clothing
Branded clothing can go down well at any time of the year, but during the winter months it can be especially appreciated, and it gives your employees the chance to rep the brand too.
Items like beanies, bags, gloves, hoodies, coats, socks and scarves, when produced stylishly and with high-quality, can be an absolute perfect gift as a standalone item, or even better when combined with the tech products we’ve mentioned in this list.
By selecting a range of styles and sizes, you can select the perfect items for your employees to beat the chill on those early morning commutes to work.
