Gifts to Thank a Realtor

When planning a gift basket to thank a realtor, it's helpful to think of things that will be helpful for pros on the go. One great example to include is a personalized tumbler/travel thermos along with an assortment of drink mixes, teas and instant coffees. Pros on the go always need snacks so include lots of delicious snacks and treats for your special realtor. You can also include gift cards for local eateries or coffee shops. Don't forget about technology gifts such as a solar powered cell phone charger or rechargeable bluetooth speakers. For the realtor who has been in the biz for a long time, go with a personalized date book or engraved business card case. And of course, a great testimonial on Google, Zillow or other platform goes great with any gift.

Employee Recognition Occasions

There are many reasons and occasions to treat one of your employees (or several) to a special gift. When employees feel appreciated, you reduce employee turnover and boost the morale of the whole team. Here are some of the many occasions to show your appreciation for your terrific employees: 

• Welcome to the team
• Employee of the month
• Holidays
• Birthday
• Marriage
• New Baby
• Thank you for all you do
• Get well soon 
• Loss of a loved one

Letting your employees know you care and support them on their special days and all of the events of their lives creates a more loyal and productive team as well as better relationships with your employees. One great option is a gift basket, especially when it is customized for that specific employee to include their favorite colors, favorite snacks, favorite beverages and decorative elements with their initials or other symbols. 

What to Put in Your Employee Gift Basket

There are tons of options you can choose from when putting together a gift basket for your employees. You can include snacks like crackers, chips, trail mix and chocolates. You can include cheeses, sausages, mustards, spreads, jams, preserves and marmalades. Add their favorite beverage such as soda, tea, sparkling water, coffee or energy drinks. You can also include non-food and beverage items such as personalized mugs, personalized office supplies, decorative items and a special message from you. Of course, when delivered in a reusable bin, basket, bag or box, they'll also get use out of the beautiful container too.
