Team Building Gifts for Employees
Team building activities give employees the opportunity to connect outside their usual work routines, strengthen working relationships and develop better communication skills. For businesses, these experiences can help improve collaboration, build trust and create a stronger sense of belonging within the team. The right gifts for team building activities can add to the experience by giving employees something useful, encouraging them to work together or providing a keepsake to remember the day.
Whether you’re organising an outdoor adventure, a team sports day, or a more relaxed company outing, there are plenty of gift options to consider. From practical items employees can use during the event to fun giveaways that encourage participation, corporate team building gifts can help make the occasion more engaging. In this article, we’ve put together a list with some of the best team building gift ideas for your next company event.
1. Games & Puzzles
Company branded games and puzzles are great team building gifts because they encourage employees to communicate, solve problems and work towards a shared goal. From board games to brain teasers, The Promo Group offers plenty of team building games and puzzles to choose from. They can be used during office competitions or group activities to get colleagues working together.
2. Picnic Items
Picnics give colleagues a chance to relax, socialise and get to know each other outside the office. Branded picnic blankets, baskets, and picnic backpacks are fun team building gifts for employees to use at outdoor events or group lunches. You could even organise a team picnic where employees share food, take part in group activities and enjoy time together in a more casual setting.
3. Team Building Apparel
Whatever the activity, team building apparel helps create a sense of unity and makes it easier to identify colleagues during group events. Team-building t-shirts, custom caps, and branded hoodies are popular options that employees can wear during the activity, as well as after. Matching clothing works particularly well for team sports, outdoor challenges and company outings, making it a great choice for personalised team gifts that bring everyone together.
4. Spa Gifts
Spa gifts are great team building items for activities focused on relaxation and wellbeing. Whether you’re treating your team to a spa day or bringing the spa experience to the office, items like custom printed candles, incense, slippers, manicure sets and head massagers can help everyone unwind. These also make lovely employee team building gifts to take home, giving your team a chance to continue enjoying a little self-care beyond the event.
5. Sport & Fitness Items
Taking part in a sport or fitness activity together is a fantastic way for colleagues to bond outside their usual work environment. Whether you’re planning a golf day, fun run, padel match or group yoga class, there are plenty of team bonding gift ideas to suit the occasion. Branded padel bags, yoga equipment, golf sets and running pouches are practical custom team gifts that can be personalised with your company logo or the employees’ names.
6. Water Bottles
Water bottles are a useful addition to any team building event, especially when employees are taking part in sports or outdoor activities. As everyday essentials, they’re also some of the most versatile team building products, keeping everyone hydrated during the event and at work or home. Available in a range of styles and materials, branded water bottles are practical team building giveaway ideas that employees can continue using well beyond the activity itself.
7. Cooking Items
Sharing a meal is an excellent way for colleagues to connect, whether you’re hosting an office braai, organising a company bake-off or holding a cooking competition. Personalised aprons, braai tongs, serving boards and oven mitts are useful team building accessories that employees can put to good use in their own kitchens. Custom branded cooking items also make excellent team building souvenir ideas, giving everyone a memento of the event to take home.
8. Bags
Printed tote bags and drawstring bags are versatile options for almost any team building event. Use them to package other gifts or items for an activity or hand them out as standalone team building giveaways. Both styles can be branded with your company logo and reused for shopping, gym sessions or everyday errands. They’re also inexpensive team building gifts, making them a great choice for businesses working with a tighter budget or buying for larger teams.
