12 Best Gift Ideas For Employees Going To Work During Coronavirus
Employees and workers that are not part of the health and medical fields are just as at risk of getting infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus as nurses, doctors and health care workers and professionals. It is most especially so if they are working on-site rather than at home. Month after month, they have done their best to stay safe while doing their part in society. It is because of these reasons that it is time for us to show that we appreciate what they did every day since the start of the pandemic.
As a way of showing your appreciation towards employees who have to go from home to the workplace (and vice versa) every day, it is a good idea to give them gifts, most of which are functional. Some help them re-adjust their health and lifestyle choices; most are exactly what others needed to survive the onslaught of the virus. Whether you are in a managerial role or a fellow employee, giving gifts to employees ensures that they not only stay protected, but also be comfortable at the workplace.
Here are 12 gift ideas for employees going to work during the coronavirus pandemic:
Disposable face masks such as those from CandyCare are simple yet essential tools in reducing the chances of getting infected by the virus. Each mask has elastic ear loops on either side that allow it to fit most head sizes without causing discomfort, along with a 3-layered fabric that keeps dust, debris and respiratory droplets at bay.
Reusable and washable cotton-based face masks like those from Yiiza give added comfort for those who want to stay protected both on the way and after work, and can be folded for easy carrying when not in use. For an added touch, these also feature a printed heart on one side. This one comes in a pack of two on Amazon.
Face shields such as those from Dynatomy offer full protection from virus-carrying droplets without worrying about breathing or discomfort. They are also handy if you are talking to deaf people who have to rely on your mouth movement to understand what you are saying. Each shield has a 1.5-inch thick foam headband that holds the shield away from the face, leaving enough room to place glasses on if you rely on them.
If you are on the way to the office and you want to get rid of unwanted germs off your hands quickly, then a hand sanitizer such as the one from Sparitual is what you will need. This antiseptic sanitizer effectively sanitizes skin surfaces and kills up to 99.9% of germs on hands.
Scared of getting near germ-infested surfaces while at work? Then this set of four travel-sized disinfecting sprays from The Citizen Spray Co. should do the job for you. Because they contain 70% pure isopropyl alcohol, these sprays can kill bacteria present on any surface, and can even double as hand sanitizers.
Frequent hand washing and sanitizing helps get rid or kill potential virus-carrying germs present on your hands, but too much of either can dry your skin in the process. To repair the damage quickly, you will need a hand cream like O'Keefe's Working Hands Hand Cream. It creates a protective layer on the skin's surface that instantly boosts moisture levels while helping prevent further moisture loss, and is even safe for those with diabetes.
If possible, healthy snacking should be practiced, including at the office or workplace. With that in mind, filling, low-calorie, low-sugar snacks such as these snack packs from Youtopia are great options to bring for snacks in-between meals. Perfectly light at just 130 calories and portion-controlled to avoid excessive snacking, it is no wonder why Youtopia was named the Best Overall Healthy Snack of 2018 by Eat Breathe Sweat.
Dehydration, when your body loses a lot more fluid than it takes, results in fatigue as well as urinary and kidney problems, among other unwanted health effects. That is why it is essential to bring a water bottle like the one from Pogo. This BPA-free, dishwasher-safe water bottle has a carrying loop for on-the-go hydration, and comes with either a chug spout or a silicone soft straw.
For employees who are tired of the usual everyday meal deliveries, these meal containers from Enther are great for storing their homemade meals for consumption during lunch break. Each meal box is Microwave, freezer and dishwasher-safe, and has 20 crack-resistant interlayers that provide plenty of versatility for everyday use or long-term storage together with a matching airtight lid.
The University of Michigan outlined ways to manage mental health amid the coronavirus pandemic, and one of these is by doing a "worry drop" to ease anxiety and stress caused by recent developments regarding the virus. For this, it requires a good journal or notebook like this durable hardcover journal from Lemome, which is available in five colors on Amazon.
Dealing with what is happening everyday can be stressful. Unsurprisingly, there is a good chance that. whether at home or traveling to and from work, employees need some form of escape -- in this case, to listen to their favorite playlists or for some privacy with friends and family. These are things that headphones such as those from Mpow can do.
One does not have to be a vegan/vegetarian to appreciate Dr. Michael Greger's New York Times-bestselling book How Not To Die. This book from the physician behind the popular Nutrition Facts website details scientific evidence proving that a plant-based diet helps lower the risk of any of the top 15 causes of premature death in America, including heart disease and diabetes, sometimes trumping prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches to prevent and reverse these diseases.
