If you want to show appreciation to your techs, get them a gift they will actually use, here is a list of ideas. As someone that has been in the field and received many gifts over the years I have seen some truly bizarre and wonderful gifts.
Golden rules.
Gift something that they either appreciate or can use. Don’t get anything you wouldn’t want if you were them. Gag gifts are ok for some but don’t make it the only gift. Gift cards are ok but impersonal – they often get re-gifted or go unused. If you do decide to give gift cards make sure they are to stores near you and that they will be used, Some example are to Home Depot, Lowe’s, Ace Hardware, Tool Supply, Amazon etc. Above all, genuine appreciation is always received well and I hope this list proves to be helpful!!
