Easter is coming up. A long winter is over and hopefully you and your colleagues have made it through in one piece.

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's both smart and fun to send employees into the holidays with a positive surprise. The thoughts of work that come up on the ski trip suddenly become a little brighter, and it gives a positive association to the workday that awaits when the Easter idyll is over. 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 come with a genuine and personalized greeting that resonates with the employee. This makes the gift feel genuine.

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

Easter eggs

Ever since the late 19th century, the Easter egg has been a staple of Easter fun. The Easter egg often contains something for everyone, and most people indulge in a few sugary indulgences during the holiday.

Anthon Berg Easter eggs are a classic. Inside you'll find one bag of almond eggs and one of marzipan eggs. In addition, the Easter egg has an exclusive appearance that won't look out of place on the mantelpiece.

The Girls on the Farm Easter egg is also a lucrative option. The Easter egg is filled with handmade chocolate pieces. The gift hits chocolate lovers right in the heart - the filled chocolate pieces of Jentene på Tunet were voted the best in Europe in 2022.

Easter basket

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

The guys at Haugen's"Guttas Easter Favorites" may be the icing on the Easter cake. It includes an exclusive goat's cheese, locally smoked Oslo honey, an award-winning salami and Ringi Aroma - a rich apple juice with a tart aftertaste.

Another option is to put together an Easter basket on your own. Ordering from Oda or Meny will save you a lot of time. The effort you put in will be appreciated by staff - but this is probably not for the busy person.

A good bottle of wine

Many people treat themselves to a glass of something nice at Easter, and a good wine is something most people will appreciate. Wrap it up in a nice way, write a personalized card, and you have a complete 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 downside of polar products is that more people do not drink. In addition, the NHI has identified that around 1 in 10 adults in Norway drink in a way that carries a high risk of harm to health, a trend that should be recognized.

Handwritten card

If you want value for money, handwritten cards are the best option. Recognition is the most important thing, and you don't necessarily need to buy expensive gifts to get the message across. A nice, personalized, handwritten card showing appreciation can provide more emotional value to the employee than a fancy gift without a warm greeting.

Handwritten cards are also great with other gifts. Buy at the bookshop or order by post. Papirkompaniet has a full range of Easter cards and offers delivery for businesses.

Flowers

Flowers are appreciated by most people and help to create an Easter atmosphere at home or at the cottage. Put together a bouquet in Easter colors (white, yellow, purple and green), or buy ready-made Easter bouquets at the florist.

MasterGreen and Euroflorist offer home delivery of flowers, so employees can have their gifts delivered to their door.

Books

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

Many people swear by Easter thrillers. Here we can't help but recommend 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 most recent book, is sure to appeal to many.

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

The downside of books is that it can be difficult to match employees' preferences. One way to get around this obstacle is to provide a subscription to Storytel.

Gift vouchers

Gift cards are a favorite among businesses. Employees get to choose - and you don't have the impossible task of finding something everyone will appreciate.

It is natural to mention Glede as an option here. You can get all the work done with Easter gifts in record time. Customize a personal greeting with a card and company logo, and recipients 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 bin.

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

Enjoy Easter!
