Employee Gifting FAQs

What should be included in an employee onboarding kit?

A complete onboarding kit typically includes: a branded tote bag or backpack (the carrier), a polo shirt or round-neck tee (team identity), a tumbler or vacuum flask (daily use), a Wire-O notebook and pen (desk essentials), and a lanyard with card holder. Tech companies often add a powerbank or multi-cable. Total budget typically SGD 30–80 per kit depending on product selection.

How far in advance should we order employee gifts?

For standard onboarding kits with silkscreen-printed items, order 3–4 weeks ahead. For embroidered apparel, 4–5 weeks. For year-end and festive gifts, 6–8 weeks minimum. For ongoing onboarding programmes (new hires joining each month), we recommend setting up a standing order arrangement to maintain buffer stock.

Can employee gifts be personalised with individual names?

Yes. Individual name personalisation via laser engraving (on metal and hard surfaces), UV variable data printing, or embroidery is available. It adds cost but significantly increases the emotional impact — especially for milestone awards and long-service recognition gifts. Contact us to discuss personalisation options for your specific products.

Can you assemble and pack the gift sets for us?

Yes. We offer full kit assembly services — sourcing multiple products, assembling them into a branded box or bag with tissue paper, ribbon and a custom welcome card, then delivering to your office or directly to employee addresses. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

What are the best employee appreciation gifts for remote or hybrid teams?

For remote and hybrid teams, practical home-office and desk gifts work best: branded laptop stands, wireless chargers, multi-cables, ergonomic mouse pads, quality drinkware and premium notebooks. We can deliver to individual home addresses islandwide in Singapore for team distributions.
