Thanksgiving is approaching and with it, an opportunity to engage employees and demonstrate your gratitude with Thanksgiving gifts and activities. While this is an often overlooked holiday in the office setting, Thanksgiving is a great occasion to create new office traditions, which is why we've gathered the best ideas to help you make it memorable!
Thanksgiving Gifts for Employees
Grocery Store Gift Card
The highlight of many Americans' Thanksgiving is the meal with family and friends. Show your gratitude for all your employees' hard work with a gift card to the grocery store to go towards their meal.
Gratitude Journal
Help your team develop a habit of gratitude with a custom journal. Guided prompts and affirmations on gratitude and positivity can help recipients live happier, more fulfilled lives.
Donation to Charity by Group Vote
Demonstrate your company values by donating to a charitable organization this Giving Tuesday. Engage your team by letting them help decide what organizations will receive a donation.
Custom Kitchen Supplies
Branded merchandise can make a lasting gift and for Thanksgiving nothing is more fun than customized kitchen merch. Consider branded oven mitts, pot holders, and towels to make fully custom set.
Custom Holiday Ornament
Thanksgiving also marks the beginning of the holiday season. Consider gifting everyone a custom branded ornament. Options are endless with metal, wood, glass options in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes.

Thanksgiving Office Activities
Office Pot Luck Lunch
Host your own mini-Thanksgiving with an office pot luck lunch! Let the company provide the main dish and invite everyone on the team to bring a side or dessert.
Day of Service
Get everyone out of the office and into helpful action with a company wide day of service. Partner with a local organization and spend the day serving meals, cleaning up a local park, or connecting with neglected members of the community.
Food Drive
A Thanksgiving food drive is a great way to build excitement all November long. For added fun, create a bit of competition between departments or offices to see which team can contribute the most.
