Why Do Plants Make Great Gifts For Employees?
Living plants are a great gift for virtually any occasion, but there are a few reasons why they’re ideal for employee gifting. Here are a few things to consider:
Symbolism
Plants are living things that grow, change, and mature over time, just like us humans, making them a wonderful and symbolic gift for employees and other professional relationships.
Inclusivity
Flowers are an incredibly common gift to say congratulations, happy birthday, and more, but flowers unfortunately don’t adapt well to all audiences or occasions (plus they don’t last!). Potted plants, on the other hand, are always a welcome gift, no matter who the recipient is, plus they last for years!
Employee Satisfaction & Productivity
Plants are also practical employee gifts as they have proven benefits on our mental health and productivity. They also spark our sense of creativity and help us focus! And as we humans are intrinsically drawn to nature, it’s no wonder that studies have proven time and again how much happier we are when surrounded by it. Give a gift that will bring joy to your employees, and you, too, will reap the benefits!
Ease of Gifting
Schlepping plants, pots, and potting soil from one place to another is a thing of the past. Indoor plant delivery makes gifting a perfect potted plant as easy as a few clicks, plus you can personalize a gift message at check out.
