When the pandemic hit, our team in UAE went fully remote. We were all working from home, and honestly, the sense of connection started fading. That’s when our company decided to send out corporate gifts to the entire team, and it worked wonders.
Each of us received a package with wellness goodies. Herbal teas, a scented candle, and a handwritten note from our manager. It wasn’t expensive, but it made us feel valued and connected, even though we were miles apart.
That small gesture did more for team morale than any Zoom call ever could. Suddenly, our group chats were buzzing with pictures of the gifts and thank-you messages. It created a shared moment of happiness at a time we needed it the most.
Since then, I’ve become a believer in the power of corporate gifting for internal teams, not just clients. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, welcoming new joiners, or simply saying thank you, the right gift can turn colleagues into a community.
