Inexpensive Recognition Award Ideas for Employees

Don’t Miss Our Coffee Mug Giveaway! 

When an employee has gone the extra mile or made an accomplishment that you don’t want to let go unrecognized, it’s nice to be ready with something that says “thank you”.  Such an item doesn’t have to be costly, but it should have some thought behind it.  The best recognition awards are items that are presented with true gratitude.  And it doesn’t hurt if they’re useful items as well!  Following are a few inexpensive recognition award ideas for your worthy employees.

Business Card Holders:  These can be found in every style and price point imaginable.  Some very nice ones can be had at reasonable prices.  Keep some on hand engraved with the company logo, or for a more personal touch, engrave the employee’s name and/or a special message as well.  

Mini Gator Flashlight:  It’s hard to believe this one falls in the “affordable” category, but it’s true.  For under $15, this useful item makes a great thank you.  It even comes in a gift box with a spare lamp, a lanyard, and a set of batteries.  And of course it’s fully engravable.

All-in-One Desk Buddy: Here’s a most handy item!  This smooth-surfaced mousepad has a wrist rest, a calculator, a ruler, even a hidden storage compartment all built in.  It can hold a small notepad and business cards as well.  Also for under $15, this is a great deal that can be engraved with your company logo and/or the recipient’s name.

There’s nothing like being recognized for a job well done.  It motivates one to keep going, gives a sense of purpose, and makes a career out of a job.  In the end, the most important thing is to be shown appreciation with sincerity.  Adding a token of gratitude ensures the moment can’t be forgotten.
