Celebrate National Fun at Work Day with Custom Gifts

6th January 2025 in Days of the year

National Fun at Work Day is just around the corner, and it's the perfect opportunity to energize your team, spark creativity, and boost morale. Observed every year on the last Friday of January, this unofficial holiday reminds us that work doesn’t always have to be serious. Adding a touch of fun to the workplace can enhance team bonding, increase productivity, and create lasting memories. What better way to celebrate than with custom gifts that bring joy and utility to your employees’ daily lives?

Here at Everything Branded, we believe in making celebrations special, and we’ve curated a wide range of branded items that are perfect for National Fun at Work Day. Let’s dive into some ideas to make this day unforgettable for your team!

 

Why Celebrate National Fun at Work Day?

A happy workplace is a productive workplace. Studies have shown that employees who enjoy their work environment are more engaged and motivated. National Fun at Work Day offers the perfect chance to:

  • Strengthen team relationships through shared activities.
  • Reduce stress with light-hearted and enjoyable experiences.
  • Foster a positive company culture that values its employees.

The key to success is planning activities that cater to everyone’s interests—and complementing them with thoughtful, custom gifts.

 

Custom Gift Ideas to Light Up Your Workplace

Whether you’re hosting games, competitions, or team-building exercises, custom gifts can add a personal touch to the festivities. They serve as tokens of appreciation while fostering camaraderie and enthusiasm among employees. Here are some exciting ideas to inspire you:

  1. Branded Office Supplies with a Twist – Turn everyday essentials into fun keepsakes. Custom pens, quirky notebooks, or stress balls shaped like emojis are practical yet playful gifts that employees will appreciate. Items like memo holders, magnetic paperclips or desktop organizers with branding can be ideal, as they are functional, eye-catching and fun! 
  2. Personalized Drinkware – From coffee mugs to water bottles, branded drinkware is always a hit. Consider adding fun slogans like “Sip Happens” or “Work Hard, Play Harder” to make them stand out. Consider bamboo or stainless steel water bottles to promote sustainability. You can also mix and match themes, why not pair drinkware with tea samplers, coffee beans or reusable straws for a complete gift package. 
  3. Customized Apparel – Unite your team with branded T-shirts, hoodies, or caps. Choose vibrant colors and playful designs to match the festive mood. Consider seasonal themes by offering hoodies and scarves in winter and t-shirts and caps for summer.
  4. Tech Accessories – Modern workplaces thrive on branded tech gadgets. Portable chargers are lightweight and can be branded, ideal for keeping employees connected on the go. You could also look to upgrade ergonomics in the workplace with branded wrist rests, mouse pads or laptop stands, improving comfort during work hours.
  5. Games and Toys – Bring out the inner child in your employees with branded mini board games, puzzles, or fidget toys. These items are great for taking a break and recharging during a busy workday. You could go beyond stress balls – think stress cubes, squishy toys, or even customizable putty with fun themes.
