Picture this: hundreds of people, some who’d never even exchanged a Slack message, suddenly writing real thank-you notes, one for a colleague, one for a partner on a different floor, one for the quiet team player whose work usually happens behind the scenes.
Meta encouraged its employees to send a thank-you note to an unsuspecting colleague in exchange for a biscuit. And what happened next? "The morale in the office couldn't have been any better", said Tobias Azizah from Meta.
A biscuit in exchange for a few words of kindness, suddenly every corner of the office buzzed with new conversations.
"Both times we've ordered custom biscuits from The Biskery for our Meta employees they barely last an hour. The last ones were our #Thanks biscuits, that we ordered as a gesture of gratitude to all our London employees for their hard work that quarter.
Spreading gratitude through a biscuit is definitely my new go to for spreading happy energy to employees and partners from now on. A special thanks to the Biskery team for the great service."
Here’s why this worked so well:
💛 Biscuit = permission slip for connection. “Thanks for making my day easier” lands differently when it comes attached to a delicious, award-winning biscuit.
💛 No admin hassle, just instant warmth. Our team managed every last detail, from custom biscuit stamp creation and eco-friendly individual packaging to shipping to London. (We do it for smaller teams and for those rolling out 10,000+ biscuits at once.)
💛 Personal meets brand. Each biscuit reflected Meta’s #thanks message perfectly, no “off-the-shelf” tokenism here.
💛 Kindness keeps spreading. Employees had a tasty excuse to break the ice with someone they admire but never told, or say thanks to that unsung hero across the corridor.
The process could not have been easier. Order placed >>> Biscuits spread all over the office in an hour >>> And the energy? Still going strong!
