Top 10 Appreciation Gifts for World Gratitude Day

World Gratitude Day is on Wednesday and has been designed to bring the whole world together in a day that is all about being thankful. World Gratitude Day joins organizations, nationals, and individuals in sharing their gratitude in a number of different ways.
 
"In business, we express gratitude by recognizing specific people and actions that made a difference." (source)
Each day in our offices we start by saying thank you to both bosses and colleagues. It is important each day especially on World Gratitude Day to be authentic and mean what you say. It can be easy to overlook the contributions of your company's most important asses: your team. Acknowledging them on this day helps to make your employees feel valued, enhances their motivation, and goes a long way towards developing a sense of belonging in organizational values.
 
Verbalizing your thanks on World Gratitude Day is an important first step but giving a small gift as a token of that gratitude carries a lot of weight as well.
 
Everybody loves getting a gift!
 
In fact, employees cherish these tokens of gratitude no matter how big or small the gift may be, but what is the perfect employee gift? There are many factors to consider when searching for a gift of gratitude. What relationship do you have with your workers? What message do you want to send? Does this fit our workplace culture?
