What a great way to boost morale and show your appreciation! Bring in a massage therapist and schedule a short massage for the admin staff.  An office seated, fully-clothed massage which has long been recognized as an enjoyable and convenient way to counteract stress. Increasingly, it’s also being recognized as an important business tool, helping busy professionals maintain their health and performance. It’s a win win!
If your office isn’t conducive to bringing in a massage therapist, purchase a spa/massage gift certificate. These can be found at most local stores and even online.

Go out for a group lunch where team members can take the opportunity to say something nice about the administrative professional. Treat your administrative professional to lunch at some point throughout this week. If you don’t know your office administrative professional well, this is the perfect opportunity to find out more about them!

If you know what they like to drink, buy a bottle of their drink of choice. Wine? Beer? Or maybe a nice liqueur. With a heartwarming personalized note attached, you’ll score big brownie points.

Chocolates! Really, who doesn’t love chocolate? This of course works best if you know they are not on a special diet. Do your homework before you buy.

The best gift basket that you can buy for your admin is one that incorporates some of their favorite goodies. Are they a big time snacker? Health Nut? Do they enjoy cooking? There are so many choices with custom gift baskets; you can’t go wrong.

Gift card (s). Although a little impersonal, they can get what they want. But in order to avoid buying them a gift card that will seem generic and impersonal, think about what they like. Do they like to work in the garden? Do handy work in the house? Or like to entertain? There’s a gift card for that!  
You can’t go wrong with flowers. It’s been a long time traditional Administrative Professionals day gift for years. Select their favorite colors, add stuffed animals and even You’re the Greatest balloons.    
In a nutshell, never underestimate the importance of your support staff! Your business depends on their performance, and there’s no denying they make your job a whole lot easier. It’s important to show them how invaluable they are and how much you appreciate their hard work.
