Dental Team Appreciation Ideas For The New Year

January and February can seem bleak and boring after the excitement and activity of the holiday season. It’s the perfect time to surprise your Dental Team with an appreciation gift or office celebration. At DentalStaffing.org, we know this is a great way to show them they are valued! In the next two months here are some of the holidays you may want to celebrate with your Dental Team:

Martin Luther King Day
Black History Month
Groundhog Day
Chinese New Year
Valentine’s Day
Presidents’ Day
Employee Appreciation Day

For specific dates for each of these, along with additional holidays, visit CalendarDate.com.

Here are some ideas the team at DentalStaffing.org curated to make it easy for you to send a winter “thank you” gift to your staff:

Winter Survival Kit
Help your team survive the dreary winter months by creating your own gift basket, which can be customized to meet your budget and regional weather. Items you could include are specialty hot chocolate, tea or coffee; an insulated travel mug; fuzzy socks; a cozy blanket; hand lotion; chapstick; a rechargeable hand warmer; or a heated lap blanket. 

Spa Box or Gift Card
After the busyness of the holidays, a little pampering might be just what your team needs. You can find a variety of options for spa boxes on Etsy or customize your own box on Knack. Or, support a local spa and purchase gift cards.

Drink Sampler
Winter months are a great time to curl up indoors with a relaxing beverage, and a sampler box is a fun way to try new options. Depending on the tastes of your team, you can purchase wine, cocktail, coffee or tea samplers.

And don’t forget!! You and your Dental Team can have fun celebrating these upcoming Dental Events with your patients! February is Children’s Dental Health Month and Gum Disease Awareness Month. Toothache Day is on February 9 and Tooth Fairy Day is on February 28.
