What do you give for birthdays at the workplace?

Why a birthday gift?

As an employer or colleague, showing attention to someone's birthday demonstrates your involvement. It makes the birthday person feel seen, strengthens the bond between colleagues, and boosts team spirit. Perhaps you have colleagues who prefer not to be in the spotlight and aren’t particularly looking forward to their birthday. Still, a small gesture is guaranteed to be appreciated by everyone.

Ideas to celebrate the birthday person

In addition to decorating the workplace with balloons and streamers, you can also impress with a handwritten card. The more personal, the better! Also, organise a moment to acknowledge the birthday of your valued colleague. This can work especially well in combination with the birthday treat. Last but not least, a birthday isn’t complete without a little something. You can go all out or opt for a simple yet personal gift.

Inspiration: These gifts are sure to impress

Looking for concrete ideas? These will undoubtedly bring a smile to someone's face:

For coffee and tea lovers
Have a mug or cup printed with a person's name, your company logo, or a unique design. Every sip becomes a moment of appreciation. The cups and mugs come in various colours and are made from sustainable materials such as bamboo or bioplastic. You can choose a print in multiple colours or even full colour. A practical gift for the office or on the go!

For the sweet tooths
Who doesn’t love delicious, high-quality chocolate? Tony’s Chocolonely has a wonderful mission and irresistible chocolate. By adding a personal message or custom design to the wrapper or card, you make the gift even more meaningful. This way, the chocolate is not only tasty but also a treat for the eyes. Tony’s Chocolonely is therefore extremely popular as a corporate gift.

For nature lovers
We offer a wide range of green promotional gifts. The Smylieplant is one of our favourites. It’s the well-known pancake plant with smiley faces on the leaves for positive vibes. Or how about seed bombs? These are balls of earth or clay containing seeds, from which a cheerful sea of flowers grows. You can also send a personal message with a seed paper card.

Small gesture, big impact

Celebrating birthdays at the office is about more than just gifts or decorations. It’s about making someone feel special and part of the team. With a little creativity, you can turn every birthday into a moment of engagement and appreciation. Moreover, all our gifts are sustainable, showing that you care for the planet. So, what are you waiting for? Make the next birthday a cheerful celebration!
