Take the Stress Out of Holiday Gift-Giving: Low-Cost Ideas to Delight Your Team
This Christmas, if the thought of organising team gifts for your office makes you feel like Olaf in the sunshine, you're not alone. Forbes reports that 94% of workers want a gift from their employer that makes them feel valued, no pressure then. Add in a limited budget and a busy schedule and it soon becomes a chore rather than the thoughtful task it deserves to be.
Thankfully, help is at hand!
Giving the perfect small gift
If you think that you can’t make a big impact with a modest budget, think again. We’re not talking about a token of appreciation, the idea of a token undersells what you're aiming for. Small, low-cost gifts for employees can be mighty - if executed correctly. Micro treating is intentional treating, it shows your team that you’ve put in the thought to choose something you know they’ll enjoy and use. It can be efficient, personal and smile-inducing and that goes for the experience of the sender (you) too.
We've spent the time researching meaningful Christmas gift ideas on a budget for staff, so you can focus on enjoying the run-up to the festive period without the sinking feeling of being overwhelmed.

At Huggg, we don’t stock anything we don’t love and we gleefully test every item ourselves so you can be assured of quality. This carefully curated list of small budget Christmas gift ideas for your employees is just the first step in saving you time, and money.

The Christmas thinking caps were well and truly on, to make the process as easy for you as possible.
Add excellent customer support throughout the festive period and you could say that all festive gifting blockers were gobbled up.
Bring back the joy of gifting
If you gift through onerous obligation, it will show. Finding the joy in gifting allows the joy to be passed on. The experience is much more than the reward which is why being able to personalise each gift for every colleague and client makes it more meaningful.
From a low cost gift idea for a new hire, to a luxurious hamper to celebrate long service, every gift receives the same attention to detail.
To be able to complete the entire task in under five minutes makes it a satisfying experience for the gifter too. Working under the assumption that everyone is the backbone of the company, one and all can receive a little something thoughtful, useful and sustainable this Christmas.
