At Ames and Oates, we believe in the power of thoughtful gifting. It’s more than just a nice gesture—it’s a strategic tool that boosts employee engagement, strengthens retention, and deepens company loyalty.
Did you know that 66% of employees say they would leave their job if they don’t feel appreciated? On the flip side, 51% of employees who receive regular recognition are highly likely to recommend their company as a great place to work. And according to a Harvard Business Review survey, 78% of respondents agreed that employee recognition directly improves retention.
In other words, gifting isn’t just a feel-good bonus—it’s smart business.
But meaningful gifting can’t be a once-a-year holiday checklist item. When done intentionally, gifting becomes a year-round investment in your people and your culture. That’s where Ames and Oates comes in.
As experts in elevated, curated corporate gifting, we know the right moment—and the right gift—makes all the difference. Here are a few key opportunities to show your team they’re valued:
Mark milestones with intention. A beautifully curated gift can celebrate an employee’s commitment and remind them why they love being part of your team. Big anniversaries deserve big gratitude.
You’ve invested time and resources into hiring the right people—now celebrate their arrival. A welcome gift sets the tone for an engaging, people-first workplace.
When someone earns a step forward, don’t let it pass quietly. Celebrate the achievement with a gift that honors their hard work and dedication.
Recognition shouldn’t stop at the office door. Celebrate your employees’ lives beyond work—birthdays, weddings, babies (and even new pets!)—with personal, thoughtful gifts that show you truly care.
At Ames and Oates, we help companies turn gratitude into action with gifts that speak volumes. Because when you give good gifts, you build great teams.
