Reddit is a great resource for getting real answers to questions, including what people would consider a good employee gift.
So, we scoured Reddit for ideas on what employee gifts individuals actually appreciate, especially in 2024, when drinkware or custom journals just don't hit the same as they used to. While these items are tried-and-tested evergreen corporate gifts, businesses that are thoughtful about rewarding their hard-working employees prefer appreciation gifts that are useful and personalized.

We observed one particular answer that Redditors gave several times—Apple AirTags (or products that are compatible with Airtags).
2023 and 2024 have been and will be the year for travel for many people. If we look at the greater value put on work-life balance and the growing interest to see more of the world, in general, it does make sense that something like an AirTag would be a highly appreciated employee gift.
We 100% agree with this answer because:
- It's not a cheap, run-of-the-mill employee gift that they'll end up throwing away within a week.
- It sends the right message to the team (i.e. "We value your efforts and you deserve an equally valuable reward.")
- It's also not an excessively expensive gift for work to the point that it takes up too much of management's budget.
