Office Holiday Party Ideas

Holiday Parties are an excellent way to promote unity and office morale with employees. They are also an ideal way to express appreciation for employees, business partners, customers, and clients alike. For one night in the year, all business jargon should be set aside to simply enjoy the company and appreciate the accomplishments of everyone you work with on a daily basis. If you are the lucky one who has been tasked with planning the party, you will want to pick something that you know everyone will enjoy, and that has a new and fresh ring for everyone to enjoy.

Selecting a venue will likely have a lot to do with your budget. Smaller budget events should take advantage of currently available space, like the office as the venue or someone's home for smaller guest lists. Larger budgets and guest lists might check hotels and resorts, art museums, botanical gardens, restaurants, and even theaters for unique venues.

When planning food for your event, there should always be a variety so that everyone will have something to enjoy. Foods from different countries and ethnicities are always an interesting choice! Set up several food stations with bits from different styles around the world. Be sure to include options for vegetarians and vegans, or those with any unusual dietary restrictions (i.e. lactose intolerance or gluten allergy). The key to great food is to have a little something for everyone. And, libations should be flowing freely! Whether it is cocktails, beer and wine, or water and soda, be sure there is plenty to drink to go around.

Plan some form of entertainment to keep guests occupied. You can hire a band or a DJ to provide music throughout the evening. Other interesting choices of entertainment include magicians, hypnotists, or any variety of unusual performing artist. If you elect to host your event in a gallery or museum of some fashion, the gallery will definitely offer entertainment for all of your guests. Take that into account when planning your event!

Christmas Drinks

Enjoy this delicious Christmas drink all throughout the holiday season! A great way to get professional and flavorful coffee at home. An easy recipe that anyone can enjoy!

Christmas Cappuccino

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups espresso beans
3 cups water
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 vanilla bean
4 cups milk
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
whipped cream (if desired)

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk cinnamon and sugar together until well blended and set aside.
Using finely ground espresso beans, brew the espresso with the water in a coffe maker or espresso machine
Carefully split the vanilla bean and scoop seeds into a medium saucepan. Add milk and heat over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
Remove milk from heat and stir in chopped chocolate bits (bittersweet chips may be substituted). Once all chocolate has melted, cover and return to low heat to keep warm.
Divide espresso into cups. Then, whip half of the warm milk in a blender until it becomes frothy. Divide the remaining half of the milk into the cups of espresso and stir. Top each with a serving of the frothed milk and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).

Participating in an office gift exchange? There are several different types of gift swaps that are great for an office environment. More involved gift exchange activities (like the “white elephant” gift exchange) would be too involved in your average office setting. One of these more simple swaps is generally a better choice.

Secret Santa - All of the names of office members are pooled and drawn at random. The only rule, if you get your own name you put it back in the pot! Set a maximum dollar amount and give employees a couple of ideas of appropriate gifts.

Random Draw - Employees are asked to bring a small gift to be exchanged completely at random. Each gift is numbered as it comes in, and each employee asked to draw a random number which will represent their exchanged gift. Many offices prefer this method so that any coworkers who forget to bring a gift or choose not to participate do not have to.

Cookie Swap - Instead of asking everyone to bring gifts, ask them to bring a small tin of cookies. It can even be a mix of whatever cookies you already were making at home! Then just swap tins the same way you would gifts. The management may want to participate by bringing extra cookies for everyone to enjoy in the office!

Gift Card Exchange - A great alternative to those trying to encourage participation. Ask employees to bring a small gift card (set an amount like $15 - $25) from their favorite restaurant or store. Swap the gift cards however you like. Even if it is a for a location you do not enjoy, you can easily trade with another coworker who does or use to purchase a gift for someone else.

Coworker Gift Ideas

Many offices enjoy the giving spirit and generosity of an office holiday gift exchange. The small bit of time and investment it takes to exchange gifts amongst coworkers is a great way to express appreciation for the team. It also makes for a great holiday activity to boost morale outside of the office holiday party.

If you are looking for a gift for a holiday gift swap then you likely want to pick something that your coworkers might actually enjoy while shopping on a budget. We have several universal and useful gift items available as an easy choice! If you know who is receiving your gift then go for a personalized notepad set. Or, check out one of our coaster or file folder options! Browse through our gift section to get some ideas for yourself.

Other great choices include holiday themed items to help with decoration and enjoyment of the season. Scented candles, fancy ornaments, and calendars are all great "generic" choices. For something a bit more unique, assemble your own mug set by filling a holiday mug with a sample of peppermint, cinnamon, or eggnog coffee. Include some peppermint sprinkles, a candy cane or two, and a cute holiday stirrer to complete the package. Don’t bother with trying to wrap it, all this fun and simple gift needs is a bow!

Selecting the right invitation for a corporate event can be slightly challenging. You will want to choose an invitation that suits your company, theme, and budget. Further, the invitation should be somewhat neutral even though it is intended for the Christmas Holidays. There are several different styles of invitations to choose from, and countless designs appropriate for the holidays. Here are some things you will want to determine and keep in mind when selecting the right invitation!

Formality - Is the event a cocktail party for employees to let loose, mix and mingle? Or, is it a formal banquet and possibly awards ceremony? Informal events might enjoy some of the cuter designs with cocktails and fun wording. Formal events should stick to simple elegance, with options for enhancing the design with layers, ribbons, pockets, or even gemstones.

Budget - Every style of design will have several options to suit different budgets. However, the more pieces to the invitation the more it will cost. Keep that in mind to determine what your company is willing to afford.

Wording - True, it can be easier to select a design than to assemble all of your wording. Make a list of what pieces of information need to be included to have an idea of how much space you will need. Then, eliminate designs that you know will have too little space to accommodate your needs.

Holiday Theme - Some invitations will be clearly Christmas themed with Christmas trees and Santa Claus. Others will have holiday colors like red, green, gold, silver, or blue. Consider who is being invited to your event when selecting an invitation. As a business, you will not want to appear excluding or insensitive. Often, a simpler design is a better choice when a large number of people are being invited.

Easy Cookies for the Office
