The Best Gifts to Give Your Staff!
So your employees and staff have worked all year long by your side, now is the time to show them that you care! Whether it is an end of financial year party, Christmas shenanigans or just a work anniversary, recognising your staffs loyalty and hard work is a really important part of any workplace. Feeling appreciated, recognised and like they are doing a great job is always ideal, and a cheeky gift is the best way to do just that. Check out our list below of the best ideas for some of our favourite staff gift ideas!
Cash money!
If you are a time poor boss with lots of staff to look after a sneaky pay bonus is always appreciated and never goes astray! The extra boost of cash can help your staff sort out those little life things that get in the way, or pick up something that that they’ve had their eyes on! However if you have the time, putting the effort into a personalised gift is always great.Vouchers!
This is again for the time poor boss but definitely adds a level of personalisation to your gift. If you know your employee loves make up, a Sephora voucher never goes astray, if they’ve just moved home, an IKEA voucher is really helpful, and so on and so forth. Just by knowing them on a personal level will show you really care!
A little tipple!
Especially around celebrations like end of financial year, Christmas or birthdays, who doesn’t love a little tipple to help get the party going! A bottle of lovely wine, champagne or their favourite spirit is a gift one doesn’t often buy themselves and so is always appreciated. Also you can go the extra mile by personalising labels and messages!
Hampers!
Especially when welcoming a new team mate or waving goodbye to a staff member who has done a great job, a big gesture is wanted to help continue that strong relationship you have built. Don’t forget, employees and staff are most likely the biggest word of mouth advertising you have! A delivery of delicious gourmet food and drink is a great way to show your appreciation! Our range of hampers include with or without alcohol, additional homely gifts, and of course gourmet goodies that they will be absolutely stoked to receive.

Frequently asked questions
Popular staff gifts include a pay bonus, gift vouchers, a quality bottle of wine and a gourmet hamper, depending on how personal you want the gesture to be. A hamper works well because it feels generous and can be enjoyed at home or shared in the office. Hampers With Bite offers gourmet staff hampers that suit team rewards, welcomes and farewells.
Is a cash bonus or a gift better for employees?A cash bonus is practical and always appreciated, but it can feel impersonal on its own. A thoughtful gift such as a gourmet hamper or a voucher matched to the person's interests shows you know them as an individual. Many employers pair a bonus with a small personal gift to combine practicality with genuine recognition.
What is a good gift for a work anniversary?A work anniversary is a milestone worth marking with something a little more special than a card. A gourmet hamper or a bottle of the employee's favourite wine or spirit makes the moment feel acknowledged. Adding a personalised message that references their contribution makes the gift more meaningful.
What should I give a new team member or a departing employee?For a new starter, a welcome hamper helps them feel valued from day one, while a farewell hamper is a warm way to thank someone who has done a great job. In both cases a generous, shareable gift leaves a strong final impression. Remember that current and former staff are often your best word-of-mouth advocates, so the gesture matters.
Are gift hampers suitable for a whole team?Yes, a larger gourmet hamper is ideal for a team because the contents can be divided into a spread of food and drinks for everyone to share. This keeps the gift inclusive and creates a positive moment in the workplace. For very large teams you can order multiple hampers or individual hampers per person.
Can I personalise staff gifts?Yes, every Hampers With Bite order includes a free personalised gift card so you can add a message for each recipient. You can also customise labels and messaging on some gifts to make the gesture feel tailored. A personal touch turns a standard reward into something an employee remembers.
When is the best time to give staff gifts?The most common occasions are Christmas, end of financial year, work anniversaries and team celebrations, but a surprise gift outside these times can have even more impact. Recognising loyalty and effort regularly, rather than only at year end, helps keep morale high. Ordering ahead of busy periods makes delivery far easier to manage.
How quickly can staff gift hampers be delivered in Australia?Hampers With Bite offers fast Australia-wide delivery with Standard and Express options at checkout. Express is handy for last-minute team rewards, while Standard works well for planned occasions. For multiple deliveries to different staff addresses, it is best to plan a little ahead.
