10 Gift Ideas for Maintenance Worker
Appreciation Day 2024

1. Treat Their Snack-etite to a Customized Snack Box

We all have our snack preferences: salty, sweet, savory, or sour. Offering your maintenance staff a customized snack box is a surefire way to show gratitude. If you know their snacking habits, opt for a snack box showcasing their number one craving.

Still trying to figure out what their go-to treat is? Choose a customized snack box with a variety of snacks to choose from, such as:

1. Nothing says hats off more than a You’re Appreciated Sustainable Snack Pack.
2. Show your appreciation with an Out to Lunch Gourmet Treats Cooler
3. Thank them with an Igloo® The Fun Starts Here Gourmet Cooler
4. For those who are Vegan, go for a Bunny James Premium Vegan Gift Box.

2. Boost Their Morale with Branded Apparel

On any given day, your maintenance staff is likely fixing X or tinkering with Y across multiple areas of your building and property. No doubt, many, if not most, of their job duties occur in isolation.

Let them know they're a vital part of the team with these most-wanted branded apparel items:

1. A Harriton ¼ Zip Fleece Pullover is ideal whether they perform indoor or outdoor maintenance work.
2. Keep them warm with a Nice-N-Cozy Fleece Gift Set and a branded Bode Fleece Jacket.
3. Protect them from the elements with a Northerly Rain Jacket.
4. Known for its sturdy durability, the Carhartt® Thermal-Lined Duck Active Jacket will see them through the toughest maintenance work.

3. Renew Their Energy in Style with Branded Drinkware

From starting their morning with a coffee or tea to staying hydrated throughout the day or enjoying an adult beverage off the clock, our branded drinkware is a practical gift. For instance, a customized thermos such as the 16 oz. Notable Leatherette Vacuum Bottle or The Companion 16 oz. Stainless Steel Flask will keep their beverages hot when they’re on the move.

A custom water bottle will show them your company values their hydration (and wellness) at work and elsewhere. The 1 Gallon Coleman® Jug will get them through the day, especially in workspaces with a limited water supply.

Are you leaning toward personalized barware to show your appreciation? Go for a customized Pint Glass Thank You Set and throw in a twelve-pack of their favorite brew. Or, make a toast to a job well done with the Napa Stemless Wine Tumbler Set.

4. Keep it Practical by Giving Them Customized Supplies

Anything you can do to make their job easier, the better. That’s a win-win situation for you and them. Put together a customized gift bag or tote with branded supplies to take the load off of your maintenance staff.

Fill their totes with any (or all) of the following supplies:

1. The Combination Clipboard to keep their paperwork in one place.
2. The Office-To-Go Kit will keep essential office supplies available while they perform maintenance on the go.
3. A Convenient USB Plug-In Fan will give them sufficient air flow when working in tight quarters.
4. The branded Professional Tool Kit will come in handy for minor repair jobs.

5. Show Them They’re Important to the Team With Personalized Swag

Giving personalized employee appreciation gifts is a simple yet effective way to make your maintenance staff feel their work matters to the company. From practical to elegant, there’s a wide range of gifts to choose from.

If you’re more of a “practical” gift giver, go with the Revolution Solid Umbrella or a customized Super Soft Sherpa Blanket to make their lives a little more comfortable.

Are you looking for a gift that will stand out? The Cuisinart® Petite Gourmet Portable Gas Grill gifted with a branded Cuisinart® 4-Piece Folding Grill Tool Set is a sure-fire way to let them know they’re doing a great job!

6. Give Them the Most-Wanted Tech Accessories in 2024

You can’t go wrong with giving your maintenance workers branded tech accessories. Since your staff is likely always on the move, they’ll benefit from some of the most-wanted tech accessories, such as:

2. A Reclaim RPET MagClick Fast Wireless JournalBook

7. Consider an Eco-Friendly Gift That Keeps on Giving

Eco-friendly branded products are an ideal way to show appreciation–especially if they’re low-maintenance. For instance, while tiny, the Modern Sprout® Tiny Terracotta Grow Kit only proves that the best gifts come in small packages.

If you’re working with a limited budget, go for the Wooden Planter Block or the Plant Starter Kit. You can always include a Terra Cotta Petite Planter Kit in a gift basket or hamper loaded with other personalized employee appreciation gifts.

8. Invest in Their Health and Wellness with Customized Self-Care Gifts

Employee wellness matters around the clock, not just when they clock in for a shift. While self-care means something different to each of us, there are multiple ways to invest in their health and wellness and show your gratitude for the work they do.

Here are some of the best personalized self-care gifts to keep in mind for Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day next year:
