Small gifts £5 budget for team

9 replies

Ideas for small gifts for the team ?

I am a manager of 8 and just want to show a token of appreciation this difficult year ( work in the NHS)

But have a limited budget of about £5 each. Biscuits and food items are difficult as a few have different intolerances and allergies etc. Mixed men and women. Alcohol is so boring but can't think of anything else ?

Amaryllis plants (and others) are around £5 each in most supermarkets. Would something like that work?

Christmas tree decoration - for £5 each you could buy a really nice one

On a Christmas bargain thread people were buying reusable coffee cups from Rex London for £1.95 each which looked really nice.

Interested in this thread?

Warm cosy socks for wearing indoors.

At that budget, I'd just give them a costa gift card (or whatever your local is). Better than a piece of tat.

I think a cup or water bottle is a good idea but then it can also be wasteful as I've been given so many that I don't use

Christmas decoration is a nice idea

A mug? People use more mugs but may only need one water bottle and travel mug

I've seen some initial ones

We're in danger of over supply of reusable cups, water bottles etc, thus not rely solving the problem they were created to solve.

A few years ago we were given initialled mugs from M&S. They were appreciated in the office, also an option for WFH.

TBH bottles of wine are always a appreciated, but I always get given red wine and I can't drink it at all.
