Why They Matter
Research reveals that when employees feel welcome and supported in their first week, they stay longer. Giving out onboarding gift box sets is a great way to make them feel your support.
- Boosts early engagement: Employees feel acknowledged before they even start.
- Reduces first-week anxiety: Practical items like notebooks, bottles, and pens help them settle in.
- Increases retention: Small gestures make a measurable difference in loyalty and morale.
How To Choose the Right Set
Our merchandise experts recommend considering these aspects first before ordering:
- Match the role – Graduate hires often prefer practical stationery, tech staff value earbuds, chargers, or speakers.
- Balance budgets – A premium kit for executives and a practical kit for staff is efficient and cost-effective.
- Think presentation – consider using Kraft boxes, branded sleeves, or a ribbon in your company colours to elevate the unboxing experience.
- Add a welcome card – A simple message from HR or the CEO makes the kit more personal.
- Plan – Boxes usually arrive within 1–2 weeks; however, graduate intakes or December start dates may require additional lead time.
What’s Inside The Boxes?
Each box is flexible, but the most popular inclusions are:
- Office Basics – premium notebooks, executive pens, and stationery sets.
- Drinkware – stainless steel bottles, reusable coffee cups, or travel mugs.
- Tech Gadgets – charging cables, wireless earbuds, Bluetooth speakers.
- Wellness Items – herbal teas, soy candles, healthy snacks, or stress balls.
- Eco Products – bamboo pens, kraft packaging, RPET totes.
- Treats – a small chocolate or lolly pack to add warmth.
We curate onboarding sets that balance functionality with delight, making them useful long after the first week.
