Terryberry has outlined options for Thanksgiving employee gifts, combining physical items and shared experiences with points that employees can redeem through a rewards catalog.
The October 22, 2025 guide groups its ideas around personalization, remote participation and budgets. Suggestions range from food baskets and branded items to technology accessories, wellness packages and handwritten messages.
For employers using Terryberry’s Be Recognized platform, the company describes awarding points across a workforce. Employees can choose merchandise, event tickets, experiences, gift cards, company-branded products and charitable donations, according to the provider.
Personalization is a recurring theme. The guide suggests using employee preferences to select suitable rewards, rather than assuming one food, hobby or product appeals to everyone. Names, messages and customization can accompany an item, but the underlying choice still needs to suit its recipient.
Remote employees receive attention through home office equipment, online classes, virtual experiences and subscriptions. Examples include laptop stands and desk accessories, plus activities that people can join from different locations.
Terryberry also describes lower-cost gestures such as homemade treats, plants and notes. Group options include pooling contributions for a larger gift, arranging a team meal or choosing a shared activity.
The provider recommends incorporating seasonal gifts into a regular recognition schedule, with opportunities for colleagues to acknowledge one another. It presents these ideas as ways to express appreciation, without supplying a measured reduction in turnover attributable to Thanksgiving gifts.
