Bee-utiful Employee Appreciation Gifts

Looking for a unique and thoughtful way to show your appreciation for your hardworking team? Look no further! These DIY bee-themed gifts are sure to brighten their day and make them feel valued.

Materials:

• Notebooks
• Acrylic Photo Holders (4″x4″, Amazon)
• Pens (Amazon)
• Tissue paper
• Bee-shaped stickers or charms (Amazon)
• Scrapbook paper or printed paper
• Sticky Note Pads (Amazon)
• Poster Tack (Amazon)
• Mini hair ties (Dollar Tree)

The notebook shown above I designed and had printed but, you can use any type of notebook.

Scrapbook paper is a great option to use in the photo holders. To personalize them, I created a 4″x4″ design and printed on cardstock. Use bee-shaped stickers or charms to decorate the sticky note holders.

To wrap the pill shaped pens into cute flowers, cut the tissue paper into squares. Place a pen in the center of two squares and gather the tissue paper. Take a mini hair tie and wrap it around the tissue paper wrapped pen to about half way up the pen. Fluff the tissue paper edges to make it look like a flower.

Tips:

• Choose colors that match your company’s branding.
• Add a handwritten note to each gift.
• Consider including a small gift card to a local coffee shop or bakery.

Why bees?

Bees are known for their hard work, dedication, and ability to work together as a team. They are also a symbol of happiness, positivity, and community. By gifting bee-themed items, you are sending a message of appreciation and encouragement to your team.

Finding Calm in the Chaos

Many people struggle with finding their creative spark. Beautifully edited DIY videos on YouTube make it look easy. You think “Oh, that looks simple! I can do that.” Then the craft supply doom scrolling begins. Fast forward an hour. You’re online shopping cart has changed 10 times and you begin to question whether you will actually take the time to create the craft item and if yours will look as good as the one in the video.

Sound familiar? You are not alone.

Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It’s about bringing your full awareness to the here and now, without getting lost in thoughts of the past or future.
