Wondering what are the best gifts for remote workers?

Forget the impersonal gift card. Score a culture win with fully custom brand swag.

Coming up with swag ideas can be tricky, especially if the recipient is working from home. This, however, can be an opportunity to think creatively about how your company culture engages people! 

Building a remote team is not just about showing off the company culture your employees are proud of, but also taking the moment to send a genuinely personalized appreciation via swag selections that honor the people (and not just the job roles they do). 

With custom branded swag, you can better navigate the challenges of a remote workspace.

1. Herringbone Throw Blanket

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT:

As temperatures start to dip, this is the perfect addition to any home. The Herringbone Throw Blanket is an amazing quality throw blanket that we love to snuggle up with. While office-related gifts are useful, sometimes at-home comfort can be what really boosts productivity. This throw blanket makes for a perfect plush gift for anyone who may need some warmth while working remotely.

Help your team spend critical time refreshing their energy and spending time with people they love through some fun and games. A Custom Branded Monopoly Game makes for a perfect down-time gift, or collector’s item!
