Secret Santa gift exchange at Holiday Christmas Parties is a time-tested staple of office life.

 

For most, the chance to buy gifts for coworkers and receive a gift in return is a welcome respite from day-to-day office life. For others, the secret Santa gift exchange is an unwelcome intrusion, one fraught with opportunities for faux pas and inappropriate presents.

No matter how you feel about the annual secret Santa gift exchange, there are many reasons to choose a gift basket this season. Here are 10 reasons to select affordable coworker gift baskets for your annual giving exchange. 

1. Gift baskets come in various price points - From the elaborate display to impress the boss to an affordable basket for the office newcomer, you can find a present that is right for everyone. 

2. You do not have to leave the office or brave the mall to buy gift baskets. You can buy affordable colleague gift baskets online - no need to step out of the office or even leave your cubicle. 

3. Gift baskets are affordable. If you are looking for an inexpensive gift for a coworker, client, or coworker, you cannot go wrong with a gift basket. These gifts can be as simple or elaborate as you like - the only limit is your holiday budget and imagination.

 

4. You can ship your gift basket to almost anyone. If your company has offices all over the place, you can treat your employees to stunning gift baskets with the click of a mouse. No need for expensive shipping or costly travel - just point, click, and ship. 

5. Gift baskets are customizable. You can customize your gift basket for each colleague you are buying for, creating just the right present for everyone on your holiday shopping list. 

6. Gift baskets are the perfect last-minute present. Nothing is worse than getting a gift from a coworker and having nothing to give in return. If that happens, all you have to do is go online and buy a last-minute gift basket, one that can be delivered to the office the very next day. 

7. Gift baskets are perfect for your clients. When the holiday season rolls around, you will want to thank the clients who pay the bills and keep your firm in business. Gift baskets are perfect for client giving - and your chosen recipients will think of you every time they pull a new item from the basket. 

8. Shop for colleague gift baskets at Adorable Gifts Baskets and avoid the dreaded trip to the mall. The shopping mall may be convenient, but it is not always pleasant during the holidays. Spend your time hanging out with your family than fighting for a parking place and keep your car in the garage. 

 

9. Gift baskets are affordable. Buying gifts for all your coworkers can add up fast, but gift baskets are among the most affordable options. If you are looking for a present that will not break the bank, you cannot go wrong with a coworker gift basket. 

10. You can avoid those gift-giving faux pas. Gift-giving at the office can be fraught with peril, and giving the wrong gift or presenting an inappropriate one could come back to haunt you. Unlike that ill-conceived sweater choice or that cheap bottle of wine, gift baskets are always appropriate and always welcome.

Saying "Thank You!" Is More Than Good Manners

No matter what kind of business you have, you reach a point where you need to thank a customer, client, or visitor. Be it for a purchase, a sign-up or a referral.

I have several years of experience in non-profit work, which included volunteer management. The rule of thumb here is you thank each volunteer 7 times for one action. No, you don't say 'thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.'

You ought to thank them at various 'natural points': at the time they express interest in volunteering, at the time they show up to work and when they leave.

But then you should also thank them in other ways. Often a thank you letter, printing their name (or group name) in a brochure or event flyer, and at the year end, offer a small thank you recognition, such as a certificate or an item with the organization's name on it.

These little things make a person feel appreciated *and* keep them connected to your organization.

Getting & training volunteers is an expensive part of operating a non-profit organization, so keeping them is much better in the long run. And it is no different in businesses that you run for profit. Everyone talks about how much cheaper it is to retain customers than it is to go out & attract new ones. So what are you doing to thank your customers, your clients?

Here is a short list of both 'natural points' or places to say thank you on your website as well as other ways to surprise them:

Subscriber sign-ups

When a surfer joins your email list, newsletter etc., they have shown interest in your company. They are pre-qualified. After they hit submit, send them to a Thank You Page, where there is an incredible offer to thank them for signing up. (Be sure to include a link back to your home page, so even if they decline the offer, they can still find you!)

Those who buy items

Include with the order a 'bounce back' coupon with a special thank you discount or free item with their next purchase.

Gift Ideas For Clients

Consider purchasing your clients gift subscriptions to their favorite professional magazines as thanks for their business. Each issue, they'll be reminded of you.

Gift Ideas For Everyone

Keep a list of all clients/customers and do a yearly mailing. Pick a date to thank everyone for their support. I personally think this should not be Holiday theme one, as 'everyone' does that, and you are one of how many companies? But a solo one on say your company's anniversary, or some other unique date means you will not have to compete for their attention!

Who: Other times to say 'Thank You'

Referrals Anyone who sends business your way deserves recognition.

When you are late on shipping or providing a service - not just an emailed apology or explanation 'at the time' to announce it, but a follow up with sincerity!

Service providers, vendors, those you network with - thank them for all they do to assist you and remember, they are people with purchasing power themselves!

How: What stands out

Send a personal, handwritten Thank You Note. People who send personal notes are thought of as gracious, of having excellent manners, and since so few people do it, you'll appear as a clear cut above the rest!

Sometimes, we try to be so creative, so original, we overlook the simple kindnesses. Classics do work. Who doesn't like to be thanked?!
