Best Swag Packs Perfect for Employee Morale: Part 1
In this article
Why You Should Invest in Boosting Morale with Swag & Virtual Events
When employees are happy, they work harder, and will do whatever it takes to make the company successful! So it’s no surprise the companies that value employee appreciation and culture are the ones who see rapid growth. When you prioritize culture, it makes managing a team much easier and puts employees in an environment where they can grow and innovate.
But working remotely can make it challenging to define what the culture is.
There’s also the challenge of how to sincerely and effectively engage with employees. How do you boost morale without face-to-face interaction? Instinctively, it may just feel like that’s an impossible ask. Here’s where swag comes in.
With a ‘direct mail’ approach, you can use swag to energize your team and help them feel appreciated. While we know it takes more than just swag to keep employees happy, this is a great first step in making a memorable moment with your team!
In this first post of our three-part swag morale series, our Swag Experts put together some fun swag ideas to keep your team feeling engaged and appreciated. From thoughtful to engaging, these swag ideas are sure to boost morale and add life to your video meetings. Let’s get started!

This is one of our favorite packs. It has a perfect balance of thoughtfulness and comfort. Desk plants are great gifts to make home offices feel cozy. It’s a swag gift that will grow with your teammate! And, BTW, if you haven’t had Raaka chocolate, you’re missing out. This sweet chocolate gift is made from unroasted chocolate beans, which gives it a surprisingly fruity taste! Lastly, we all know our employees tend to work longer hours while at home.
