Gifts for Volunteers

Volunteer Appreciation Gifts for National Volunteer Week, Hospital Auxiliary Luncheons and Year End Thank Yous

Volunteers give their time, and the thank you has to feel personal. A volunteer services coordinator hands a gift to every volunteer at the appreciation luncheon during National Volunteer Week every April, a hospital auxiliary thanks its gift shop and information desk volunteers with a plush bear or a tumbler, and a hospice or a senior center thanks its companion volunteers with a hot and cold eye mask or a journal at the year end gathering. A lapel pin marks a volunteer's service hours.

This store gathers gifts that suit volunteers: hot and cold packs and plush eye masks, lip balm and lip balm and sun stick combos, hand and body lotion, plush bears, tulip pot and heart stress relievers, mood stress dudes, acrylic tumblers and sport bottles, journals and pen sets, lunch sacks and cinchpacks, book lights and flashlights, folding mirrors, bud vases and cloisonne lapel pins. Most fit an appreciation budget under five dollars. Health Promotions Now sends free samples to businesses and organizations so buyers can compare volunteer gifts before ordering.

Common Questions About Volunteer Appreciation Gifts

What are good volunteer appreciation gift ideas?
A plush Aqua Pearls hot and cold eye mask for a hospice volunteer, a plush bear for the auxiliary, a tulip pot stress reliever for the information desk, a soft bound journal for a long serving volunteer, an acrylic tumbler for the whole team and a cloisonne lapel pin for service hours. Pick several from this page and request free samples, and they arrive before the planning meeting.

When is National Volunteer Week?
Every April. Order a month or more ahead so gifts arrive before the luncheon.

Can the committee see a few gifts before we choose one for every volunteer?
Yes. Put three or four in the sample basket from the product pages, or call us, and we will pack them for the volunteer services committee so they can set them out at the table and choose the one that feels right for the people they thank.

Is there a gift that marks service hours?
Yes. A hard enamel cloisonne lapel pin with your program name marks a milestone.

Can gifts arrive in time for the luncheon?
Give us the date when you ask for a quote. Call 800.378.6376 and the team will plan back from it.
