Employee Appreciation Gifts

Employee appreciation gifts tell one standout employee, or a whole department after a busy quarter, that their effort is seen. Choose sunny mixed bouquets, soft garden styles or a florist's choice design, each arranged by hand by a florist near the recipient.

Flowers work best with words that name what people did. The guide below covers sizing for a team, employee appreciation ideas to pair with the gift and planning for Employee Appreciation Day.

Choosing employee appreciation gifts

One shared arrangement or one per person

For a whole team, one generous arrangement on a break-room table or reception counter often beats a row of small ones. One of a Kind Bouquet comes in eight sizes, from Small up to Extravagant, and the florist builds it from the freshest roses, lilies, sunflowers or seasonal blooms that day. To thank individuals, a smaller size fits a desk: Nature's Charm Bouquet stays soft with ivory roses and pink lisianthus, and Blushing Lavender Bouquet mixes light pink roses, lavender carnations and purple stock. Red roses, including Ultimate Red Roses and the Fields of Europe Romance Bouquet, can read as romantic, so they're better for a team celebration than for one person.

Employee appreciation ideas that go with the flowers

Recognition means more when it's specific. Write a card that names the contribution, like the client call someone saved or the new hire they trained, and have the team's leader sign it. Schedule the flowers for the day before a team meeting so you can say thanks out loud with the arrangement in the room, then let it stay in view all week. Sunny designs such as Best Day Bouquet, with roses, sunflowers and lilies, or Petals Embrace, with sunflowers, hot pink roses and orange alstroemeria, tend to suit a mixed group.

Planning for Employee Appreciation Day

Employee Appreciation Day falls on the first Friday in March, and some companies stretch it into a week of small thank-yous. Order early, pick the Thursday or Friday you want, and address each delivery to the office with the employee's name and your company name. Staff appreciation doesn't have to wait for March: a project launch, a work anniversary or the end of a hard season are all good reasons. For your manager in October, see our Boss's Day flowers, and for April, Administrative Professionals Day flowers.

Employee appreciation questions

When is Employee Appreciation Day?

Employee Appreciation Day is the first Friday in March each year. It's an informal observance, so companies celebrate in their own way, from a team lunch to flowers on every desk. Since it lands on a Friday, place office orders a few days ahead.

What is a good staff appreciation gift?

The best staff appreciation gifts are personal and easy to enjoy at work. Fresh flowers brighten a desk for days, and a note that names a specific contribution turns a small token into real recognition. For a large group, one shared arrangement keeps the budget in check. See more corporate gifts.

How do you thank employees on Employee Appreciation Day?

Say it in person, then put it in writing. Mention what each person actually did, thank them in front of the team and follow with something they can see all day, like flowers on the break-room table. Small, sincere and specific works better than big and generic.

Can I send employee appreciation flowers to remote workers?

Yes. Send each bouquet to the employee's home address in the United States, with their full name and any apartment number. Choose a weekday when someone is likely to be home, and add a card from the team so the gift feels connected to the office.

What does staff appreciation mean?

Staff appreciation is the practice of recognizing the people who keep a workplace running, from front-line staff to managers. It can be a thank-you in a meeting, a written note or a gift. Our thank you flowers suit any of those moments.
