Consider Giving Bed Sheets With Universal Appeal
Speaking of gifts, you may be wondering what to get a couple that you might not know well. For coworkers, it’s often best to think of a gift that everyone needs and uses. Bamboo bedding is a great option for providing a gift that won’t get stuck in the back of the closet. Most people never feel like they have enough sheets, and giving a set made from bamboo materials elevates the gift. If you have additional funds available, then you can also use them up by throwing in accessories such as cozy pajamas.
Designate a Contribution Collection Point
Taking up a collection is a common practice in offices that helps create a pool of funds for special occasions. Depending on your office, you might choose to put the collection point in a space that’s out of the recipient’s sight. For instance, you could put a collection box on your desk or in a less noticeable part of the break room.
Include a Card-Signing Station
Passing a card around the office often results in it getting lost. To make sure the whole group gets the chance to sign it, try placing it near the collection box. Alternatively, you could take a trip around the office and ask people to sign it while you wait. Either way, your coworker will appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into getting everyone’s signature on the card.
Create a Clear Communication System
Modern technology makes it easier to plan a gift without the recipient knowing. If you want the gift to be a surprise, then consider setting up a group chat or email that includes everyone but the recipient. You can use this system to remind people to sign the card and let them know when you’re ready to shop for the perfect gift.
Plan How to Give the Gift to the Couple
The final step in the process is choosing how to give the gift. Bed sheets are easy to wrap or place in a gift bag. You can also opt to throw a wedding shower for your coworker and invite their fiancé. If your team is attending the wedding, then this is also an ideal time to give them their special present. As you do, remember to offer your best wishes and sentiments as you honor your coworker with a gift that everyone made possible.
At this point, many people are over receiving gift cards that often get stuck in their wallets. Choosing to give a practical and beautiful gift provides a tangible message that your company cares. Now, all you need to do is choose the perfect wrapping paper to present the gift to your team’s favorite newlyweds.
