Why desk drops are important

In today's busy and often stressful work environment, it's more important than ever to show your colleagues and friends that you care. Desk drops are a simple but effective way to do just that. They can help to create a more positive and supportive work environment, and they can also help to boost morale and productivity.

 

How to give a desk drop

When giving a desk drop, it's important to keep the recipient in mind. Choose something that you think they will appreciate and enjoy. You can also get creative and personalise the desk drop in some way. For example, you could write a handwritten note or include a message that's relevant to the recipient's interests.

 

Here are some ideas for desk drops:

  • Handwritten notes. A handwritten note is a simple but effective way to show someone that you're thinking of them. You can write a note to thank them for their help, to congratulate them on a recent achievement, or simply to let them know that you appreciate them.
  • Personalised biscuit. A personalised biscuit impressed with a relevant message is a sweet way to show someone that you care. 
  • Funny mugs. A funny mug is a great way to put a smile on someone's face. You can find mugs with all sorts of funny sayings or images.
  • Plants. A plant is a thoughtful gift that will brighten up someone's workspace. You can choose a plant that matches their personality or interests.
  • Books. A book is a great way to show someone that you care about their interests. You can choose a book that you think they'll enjoy, or you can get them a book related to their work.
  • Gift cards. A gift card is a versatile gift that can be used to buy anything from biscuits to clothes. It's a great way to let someone choose their own gift.

 

Here are some additional tips for giving desk drops:

  • Be timely. Desk drops are a great way to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays, holidays, or work anniversaries.
  • Be personal. If you can, personalise the desk drop in some way. This could mean writing a handwritten note or including a message that's relevant to the recipient's interests.
  • Be consistent. The more often you give desk drops, the more likely they are to have a positive impact.

Desk drops are a simple but effective way to brighten someone's day and show them that you care.
