Why give a basket to employees?

Basically, a business basket or a corporate basket is a common gift from organizations to their employees. This guarantees a certain recognition and motivation for the employee to remain in the company.

In that case, there are some specific reasons that make these baskets special for these moments. So now let's talk about it.

First, keep in mind that a business basket tends to be good value for money. Thus, when compared to other types of gifts, there is greater accessibility, combined with the possibility of choosing the ideal products.

Still with regard to the company, there is another important benefit, which is logistics. When we opt for a basket, all the preparation and delivery can be carried out by the chosen basket specialist shop.

In addition, the role of employee recognition is also important. In line with what we said before, this tends to motivate you. But it's not just him: the baskets also bring joy to other people who live with him, like his husband or wife and children.

In this way, a business gift basket is the ideal choice both from the point of view of the purpose of the gift and from the point of view of finances and business logistics. However, the ideal is that you know how to choose what comes in it.

What's in a business basket?

We have already talked about the benefits of the basket for the company. Now, let's talk about what can come in it. Naturally, there are different possibilities, so that each company can customize it in some way.

But what makes the items that can come in it vary? Well, there are factors such as the event, the basket model and the very large possibility of products that directly influence this, so that there is not just a closed basket.

That said, among the main products in a business basket, the following tend to be the most chosen:

• Bonbons and chocolates in general: the sweets are ideal for various occasions (Christmas, Easter, among others) and exist in several options of values, formats and fillings.
• Biscuits and cookies: other very common sweets are biscuits and cookies, and they go well with events like Christmas.
• Panetone: this is a classic of Christmas events, isn't it? An alternative is chocotone.
• Cakes: industrialized cakes can be another pleasant option, including for company anniversary events.
• Peanuts: Almost everyone likes peanuts as a snack, right? So it works really well too.
• Wines and sparkling wines : it is the form of drink that brings the most elegance to the company basket.
• Beer : an alternative, especially for happy hour, is beer.
• Flowers: in addition to edible items, flowers can also be a good increment.

In addition, the company can create a personalized thank you note. Then just put it in the baskets as another way of saying thank you to the employees.

And also see that it is not necessary to choose only between these items. For Christmas baskets, for example, you can also include raisins, honey buns and other culinary elements that match the date.
