‘Tis the season for the annual Christmas office party. A time for merrymaking with your colleagues, lifting spirits, and of course unwinding after another year of much appreciated hard work.
However, with all the (jingle) bells and whistles required to host such an anticipated event, you may be wondering - What is the benefit of throwing an office Christmas party?
Despite all the trimmings necessary for organising a memorable evening, the annual office Christmas party is a great opportunity to celebrate the successes of the year, acknowledge your employees’ achievements and leave guests feeling rejuvenated and motivated for the next 12 months. It’s also a great chance for staff to get better acquainted and build a stronger team bond, which will undoubtedly improve how colleagues understand and work with each other!
Christmas goodie bags
For an extra special way to improve morale with your office Christmas party, make sure your guests leave with a thoughtful party favour. These are traditionally small Christmas table gifts that don a designated place setting. However, be sure to avoid the not so awe-inspiring branded pen or new year notebook and wow your guests with a more personalised and quirky Christmas goodie bag. Our list of the unique office party gift ideas not only look great as a Christmas party table favour but will also ensure your employees feel rewarded and personally appreciated for their diligent work.

Where should we host our office Christmas party?
Now you know how to dress the tables and how to treat the guests, it's time to think about the ‘where’.
