Post from Oana Borcoman
Employee gifts and mini-holiday-themed events in the office greatly impact the company culture with minimal investment. Whether you are doing an office Halloween lunch party or just encouraging a bit of dress-up, employees enjoy a chance to pull away from the daily mundane.
Below are some ideas for sprucing up Halloween for employees through gifting from corporate gifting expert, Oana Borcoman.
- Staff Halloween goodie bags with branded re-usable (for trick or treating or otherwise) bags – stuff them with candies, funny or spooky decorated cookies, and some Halloween desk decor. They will love taking this home to their kids or enjoying it for themselves!
- Hosting or Home Gifts – serving platters, coasters, wine openers, knife set, refillable soap containers, etc. – theme out with spooky or dark versions of these items that someone can use year after year at their home.
- Themed Scented Candles – of all sizes and varieties – skull shape, bat shape, pumpkin shape!
- Candy Dishes – get creative in the containers; sure to make a fun gift as everyone either hands out candy or puts something out on their porch.
- Easy Go-To Mini Costumes – not everyone loves this holiday and some find it annoying to find a costume to dress up for a party or to go trick-or-treating with kids. Fun “mini-costumes” make great gifts, like a skeleton sweatshirt, a character-themed headband, funky glasses, etc. Everyone has someone in their family who is sure to appreciate the quick grab-and-go “costume” add-on.
- Delicious Munchies – there is no shortage of candies and sweets during Halloween, but get creative with some unique or savory-themed finds to shock and delight your recipient!

“The best kind of gifts for themed holidays are either delicious munchies or actual usable items someone can pull out every year for that holiday,” she says.
