Working in communications and public relations is difficult. Fun, exciting, challenging — but difficult at the same time. What better way to show appreciation for your company’s PR specialist than by getting them useful and intentional gifts? These five gifts are a mix of thoughtful and savvy and will surely be great stocking-stuffers for your PR team for the holidays!
Help your PR specialist stay on top of the changing landscapes! PR specialists are always on the lookout for the latest news and trends. A subscription to a high-quality media monitoring tool allows them to stay informed about relevant industry news, competitor activities, and mentions of their brand or clients.
When it comes to these kinds of subscriptions, a lot of sales and promos come up by the holidays. You could be getting a premium package of your preferred tool for half the price, or communications suites for a really good deal! This is a surprise they will surely appreciate because it makes their job worlds easier.
Invest in their growth. Gift your PR specialist the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge with professional development courses or workshops. Whether it’s a course on crisis management, social media strategy, or advanced media relations, this gift supports their continuous growth in the field.
This also shows the level of thoughtfulness you and the rest of your company has for your PR specialist. Investing in someone’s growth is a sign of trust, which can help keep them on your team for a long, long time!
Studies show that a pleasant and well-equipped workspace can motivate people to work better, so elevate your PR person’s desk with special items! A set of personalized stationery or stylish office accessories adds a touch of professionalism and personalization to their workspace. Consider items like custom notebooks, engraved pens, or elegant desk organizers.
Monogrammed items are also a subtle mark of status within a company, so it’s a beautiful gift without being over-the-top. It looks good when they take it on work trips, and it can show that your company doesn’t scrimp on rewarding its employees. Good gifts don’t need to be too fancy, they can be useful too!
PR specialists will always appreciate any form of tech that can help them streamline work. They juggle multiple tasks, and gadgets can significantly enhance their productivity. Consider gifts like noise-canceling headphones, a high-quality webcam for virtual meetings, or a smart planner that integrates with their digital workflow.
Subscriptions for note-taking apps or automation apps can also count as a good tech-focused gift! Gadgets might be out of the budget for some (and with good reason!), so it’s totally fine to go with an online app package instead of a big splurge on something like a smartphone for work.
Connections are the backbone of every PR specialist’s career, so help them stretch theirs! PR specialists thrive on networking, so gift them tickets to industry conferences, seminars, or memberships to professional networking organizations. This provides valuable opportunities to connect with peers, learn from industry leaders, and stay updated on the latest PR trends.
Networking events are also a good way for them to practice social events skills and interact with peers and role models in the industry. As trivial as it might seem, dressing up and being welcomed into a room full of people we respect is motivational and a good mental break.
These thoughtful holiday gifts cater to the needs and interests of PR specialists, supporting their professional development, enhancing their workspace, and providing tools that contribute to their success in the dynamic field of public relations.
