christmas Gifts for Employees - tanTALK

txsanchez · 12-20-2008, 03:02 PM

I have a small salon with 3 employees. Our December sales have been better than Oct/Nov but cash flow is still catching up from the slow season.
Does anyone give small gifts to their employees for Christmas?
If so, what are some low cost ideas?

Free tans! And some sample packets! :)

Or I spend about $100 each on gift cards to restaurants and stuff, bottle of their fav lotion and depending on performance, cash bonus. I try to do the intel work in Nov so it does not seem to obvious when asking were they like to shop/eat.

We have a small Christmas party at our house. We give them small token gifts and grill out by the pool. Free tans are good. Then the bonus based on longevity and performance.

All of our staff has been wanting hoodies.

I ordered zip-up, hooded sweatshirts. They have our salon name on one breast and their name embroidered on the other.

Nothing big, but they will all like the idea.

Dito, but we take our girls out. (I like the BBQ idea) Bonus ranges from 25.00 to 120.00

I have 3 employees. I let each of them pick out a tanning lotion they wanted (max $60 retail). They each got a bottle of wine and bath n body works stuff. Very inexpensive!
