As the holiday season approaches, small business owners have a unique opportunity to show appreciation for the hardworking employees who make their businesses thrive. Employee recognition goes beyond a simple “thank you”; it’s about fostering a sense of belonging, boosting morale, and building excitement for the year ahead.
Custom gifts like plaques, awards, and personalized slate products are thoughtful, high-impact ways to show your gratitude. Here’s a guide to some of the best options for employee recognition and holiday gifting.
1. Plaques That Stand the Test of Time
Plaques have long been a staple of employee recognition, and for good reason—they’re timeless, professional, and easy to customize.
Our plaques are made with premium materials like high-quality wood, metal, and acrylic, expertly engraved with precision to honor achievements big and small. Whether it’s recognizing years of service (e.g., “10 Years of Dedication to [Your Company]”) or celebrating individual accomplishments (e.g., “Above and Beyond Award” or “Teamwork Excellence”), a custom plaque is a lasting reminder of your appreciation.
2. Add Some Fun with Giant Face Cutouts
For a more lighthearted and humorous approach, consider giant face cutouts of team members. These oversized portraits make for great photo ops and bring an element of fun to the workplace, perfect for end-of-year celebrations or team-building events.
3. Versatile and Elegant Slate Products
Slate is not only visually striking but also highly versatile, making it an excellent choice for employee gifts.
- Decorative Slate Signs: Available in horizontal or vertical orientations and complete with twine for hanging, these customizable signs are perfect for offices. Personalize them with employee names or motivational quotes for a stylish and functional gift. They can be laser engraved or UV-LED printed, making them great for creative uses like personalized desk decor or holiday ornaments.
With these slate options, you’re giving more than just a gift—you’re offering a piece of art that employees can cherish for years.

The Impact of Recognition
Recognition isn’t just about saying “thank you”; it’s about showing employees that their efforts and contributions are noticed and valued. A culture of recognition builds trust and loyalty, encourages higher engagement, and creates a sense of pride and belonging within your team.
During the holidays, this sentiment is amplified. It’s a natural time to reflect on the past year, celebrate accomplishments, and set the tone for the year ahead. By recognizing your team during this season, you send a message of gratitude and positivity, leaving employees with a renewed sense of purpose and motivation.
