Functional Corporate Gifts for the Office

By: Gareth Parkin

When it comes to giving corporate gifts within the office, there are only so many coffee mugs that a person needs, only so many picture frames that will fit into their office, and only so many pens that one person needs, no matter how nice the new one is. If your employees could always use a new pen, then consider it a perfect corporate gift since even very nice pens are easy to find at bargain prices, and since they can be personalized if you wish by having them engraved.

Pens are also great corporate gifts because they are also functional in the office place, meaning that your employees will appreciate them all the more because the gift was something that proved to be useful. If you like the idea of functional corporate gifts, then read on for some more ideas – your employees will appreciate them as well.

Functional gifts do not just have to be functional at the office, but can be things like umbrellas, which are great for keeping in the car, purse, briefcase, or home. They are not necessarily the ideal corporate gift for every occasion, but are a great example of providing your gifts with a function.

A perfect example of a great corporate gift that is also functional is a USB drive. These drives can be purchased in a wide range of memory levels, and area great for storing and transferring data. They are infinitely useful to anyone who works on or uses a computer, and can be personalized with your company name and logo to help you get a tiny bit of promotion out of them as well, and to remind your employees of who they have to thank for their gifts when they are using them at home. Give them out to an entire department at the end of a project to mark the completion and thank them for their hard work – they will appreciate the gesture!

Another great corporate gift to hand out en masse to your employees is a writing pad, possibly accompanied by a nice pen. These pads can also be personalized with your company name and logo, and will be even more appreciated if they are accompanied with a bit more of a thank you, like a lunch day or other reward.

A coffee mug or even a beer mug could make a great corporate gift for anything from a birthday to an entire team’s project success, but it shouldn’t be given out plain. Instead of filling it with a choice beer, consider filling your coffee mug with a great roast or the beer mug with something fun like confetti or candies for your employees to enjoy.

There are many options for corporate gifts for the office place that also serve a function (although we would not recommend allowing your employees to use their beer mugs for their intended function at the office itself). Your employees will love getting a gift that they can actually use, and you will love the benefits of loyalty and productivity.
