Christmas party awards ideas for staff

Fun and serious award ideas for the end of year party, from the wooden spoon to employee of the year.

Why give awards at the Christmas party?

The end of year party is the one time the whole team is together. A mix of serious and fun awards recognises the year, gives people something to talk about and makes the night more memorable.

Serious awards

  • Employee of the year
  • Outstanding contribution
  • Customer service award
  • Rising star
  • Years of service milestones
  • Team of the year

Fun awards

  • The wooden spoon
  • Best dressed
  • Funniest moment
  • Most likely to be on mute
  • Office legend

Fun awards can still be engraved with a name and the reason, which turns a joke into a keepsake. See our novelty trophies.

Choosing the awards

Use acrylic or glass and crystal awards for the serious honours, and smaller trophies for the fun ones. If you run a regular awards schedule, our Corporate Recognition Program delivers done for you quarterly awards.

Timing

End of year is our busiest time. Please allow up to two weeks lead time for trophies, and order earlier for logo awards.
