Gifts aren’t always about work life.

School season is knocking on everyone’s door. Parents on your team with kids of all ages, the intern still racking up those college credits for graduation, and even your senior manager who decided to get their Master’s in Art Therapy (you think you know someone, eh?).

Aside from the Q4 planning they have a lot to do outside the office so why not make it easier for them with a back-to-school surprise?

Give Them the Tool to Rule the School

Everyone's in shopping mode during the transition between summer and school. Parents will go for the practical stuff - folders, pens, notebooks, a fall wardrobe for their fashionable teens, and, of course, that sturdy backpack. Others might want something that makes their workspace or kid’s dorm even better - desk organizers, a comfortable chair, good lighting. With all the options, it’s tough to go wrong!

Your teams get to handle their back-to-school needs while knowing you thought about what's happening in their lives right now. It's recognition that connects to the season and gives them real flexibility when they need it. So curate an awesome gift card collection that’’ll cover every single one of their bases.

Must-Haves for the School Year Under $100

The standard pen and notebook are great choices for gifts, but how about something to make their mornings run smoother? Parents making pancakes, busy college kids grabbing their toast for breakfast, maybe your employee with the coffee addiction?

Think of it as the little boost that keeps the school-year chaos from spilling into their workday. Happiness up, productivity up, employee appreciation- up! There's so many more options under $100 but these are a good start (and we have more ideas if you want them)!

Homework: Make Your Team Happy

We're sure you're going to get an A+. Back-to-school season brings that exciting energy of fresh starts and new possibilities. Your team's buzzing with September plans already getting kids ready, tackling their own learning goals, and embracing all those new routines.

This is your chance to be the boss who totally nails it. Skip the generic recognition and go straight for what clicks - because what’s back-to school without a mouse pun?

Turn in your assignment early and watch your team light up!
