7 Easter gifts for employees that always hit the spot

Easter is just around the corner. A long winter is over, and hopefully you and your colleagues have made it through unscathed.

Easter gifts for employees

Many companies give Easter gifts or Easter eggs to their employees to recognize their efforts during the first quarter of the year. It is both wise and pleasant to send employees into the holidays with a positive surprise. The work thoughts that arise on the ski trip suddenly become a lot brighter, and it gives the workday that awaits when the Easter idyll is over a positive association. The conclusion from a number of research studies is also clear: Employees who feel recognized are more motivated at work.

It is important to point out that gifts are not a miracle cure in themselves. The gift should be accompanied by a genuine and personal greeting, which resonates with the employee. Then the gift will be experienced as genuine.

But what should you give? In practice, it is challenging to satisfy all employees. Unfortunately, people are different. They also have different preferences. But some gifts are better than others on average. Here are seven ideas for Easter gifts that you can give from the company to the employees.

Easter eggs

Since the late 19th century, the Easter egg has been a staple of Easter celebrations. The Easter egg often contains something for everyone, and most people indulge in some sugary excesses during the holiday .

Anthon Berg Easter Eggs are classic. Inside you will find one bag of almond eggs and one bag of marzipan eggs. In addition, the Easter egg has an exclusive appearance that will not look out of place on the mantelpiece .

The Girls on the Lawn Easter Egg is also a lucrative alternative. The Easter egg is filled with handmade chocolate pieces. The gift will touch the hearts of chocolate lovers - the filled chocolate pieces of Girls on the Lawn were voted the best in Europe in 2022.

Easter basket

A couple of price ranges above the Easter egg, but in return a healthier and more exclusive alternative. The Easter basket contains many different treats – something for every household.

Gutta på Haugen's “ Guttas Easter favorites ” can be the ring over the river on Easter fun. Among other things, it contains an exclusive goat cheese, locally smoked Oslo honey, an award-winning salami and Ringi Aroma - a rich apple juice with a sour aftertaste.

Another option is to put together an Easter basket yourself. By ordering items from Oda or Meny you save a lot of time on the shopping. The effort you put in will be appreciated by the employees - but this is probably not something for the busy.

A good bottle of wine

Many people enjoy a glass of something good at Easter, and a good wine is something most people will appreciate. Wrap it in a nice way, write a personal card, and you have a perfect Easter gift. Vinmonopolet offers delivery - but recommends that you order at least 1 week in advance to ensure that the drinks arrive on time. 

The disadvantage of polar products is that more people do not drink. In addition, NHI has surveyed that approximately 1 in 10 adults in Norway drinks in a way that poses a high risk of health damage, a trend that one should be aware of.

Handwritten card

If you want value for money, a handwritten card is the best option. Recognition is the most important thing, and you don't necessarily have to buy expensive gifts to get the message across. A nice, personal, handwritten card that shows gratitude can provide greater emotional value to the employee than a nice gift without a warm greeting.

Handwritten cards also go great with other gifts. Buy at the bookstore, or order by mail. Papirkompaniet has a wide range of Easter cards and offers delivery for businesses.

Easter nuts and Easter quiz

Do you want to give something more than a traditional Easter egg to your employees this year? Then an interactive Easter quiz can be a fun and engaging alternative! UkeQuiz gives your company a unique opportunity to combine Easter joy with social cohesion – whether your employees are in the office, at home or at the cottage.

From Palm Sunday to Easter Eve, you will get a separate quiz page with daily Easter nuts. Employees can compete for points and climb the highscore list, creating a playful and inclusive corporate culture. The quiz is customized with the company's colors and logo, and each daily winner automatically receives a Glede gift card - perfect for buying their own Easter egg or another desired gift.

A quiz is a simple and engaging way to strengthen community, while also providing a creative twist on the traditional Easter gift. Read more at UkeQuiz.no .

Books

The armchair in front of the fireplace is a popular place to relax during Easter. And what could be better than a good book?

Many swear by Easter crime. Here we cannot avoid recommending the latest thriller in Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole series: Blood Moon . Jørn Horst Lier is also a favorite on Norwegian bookshelves. The Traitor , his latest book, will probably appeal to many.

Another option is to provide something educational and work-relevant, if you are lucky enough to have colleagues who also have their job as a hobby.

The disadvantage of books is that it can be difficult to meet employee preferences. One way to get around this obstacle is to provide a subscription to Storytel .

Gift card

Gift cards are a favorite among businesses. Employees get to choose for themselves - and you're spared the impossible task of finding something everyone will appreciate.

It's natural to mention Glede as an alternative here. You can get all the work done with the Easter gifts in record time. Customize a personal greeting with a card and the company's logo, and the recipients can use the gift card wherever they want via their mobile phone.

Glede is also the most sustainable option - zero emissions associated with shipping, and you avoid the risk of the gift ending up in the trash.

So - there you have it. Seven great options for Easter gifts for employees. Hope it was helpful.

Enjoy Easter!
