Trendy Gifts Employees Actually Want in 2022

On first thought, choosing company swags may seem like a quick and easy process - and it definitely can be done with Sparks Merch! However, if you want to make the best impact with your employee gifts, you should get creative and be sure that your employees will actually appreciate and use the gifts for a long time to come. It can be a long list to brainstorm on, so let us lend you some suggestions with our guide to the best company swags and branded gifts that your employees truly want.

1. Work from Home (WFH) Gift Box by SPARKS 

With COVID-19, working from home has become a norm in the past years and more years to come in the future. We believe that WFH is here to stay in the long run. Despite the many pros that come with working from home, such as flexible schedule and being able to spend more time with family, there are several concerns as well. It is getting increasingly difficult for employees to separate their daily lives from work because their "office" is now at home. Work-life balance is becoming a concern. Also, your employees may be less motivated to work at all times due to the lack of physical team support. This is your chance to send them some smile-guaranteed essentials and motivate them to work hard!
