Onboarding Gift Boxes for New Employees: What to Put in a Welcome Box

Curated corporate gift box with WA-made products and branded glassware by No Matter What Gift Box Perth

No Matter What Gift Box is a Perth gift box company that makes onboarding gift boxes for new employees, built from locally sourced WA-made products with a personalised welcome card and branded options. Boxes are delivered across the Perth metro area and can be sent to remote and interstate starters, with a minimum order of 5 for corporate gifting. This guide covers what to put in a welcome box, when to send it, and how to set it up so every new starter gets the same good first week. For the wider picture, see our corporate gifts for employees.

TL;DR: A good onboarding gift box is small, useful and clearly chosen. Build it around a few quality WA-made products, add a welcome card that names the person, include something that carries your brand, and have it arrive in the first week. Plan an alcohol-free version from the start, and set the box up once so it can be repeated for every new starter.

What is an onboarding gift box?

An onboarding gift box is a welcome gift given to a new team member in their first days. A first-week gift sets the tone and tells a new starter they joined somewhere that cares about the detail. It does not need to be large. It needs to feel considered.

What to put in a welcome box for new employees

The boxes that land well combine a few elements rather than relying on one big item.

  • Something made in WA: we build our boxes around local makers such as Mondo Nougat and Morish Nuts from the Swan Valley and Bahen & Co chocolate from Margaret River.
  • Something to share: treats that get passed around the desk help a new starter meet the team.
  • Something that carries your brand: branded message cards, company logo stickers, custom inserts and branded outer packaging are all options, depending on the brief and order size.
  • A welcome card: a personalised message card can be included with each box. Use the person's name and say something specific about the role or the team.
  • An alcohol-free version: plan one from the start, so everyone receives a gift of the same quality.

When to send an onboarding gift

The first week is the moment. A box waiting on the desk on day one, or delivered to a home address for a remote starter, does more than the same gift a month later. If you hire in groups, order the boxes as a run so every starter in the cohort receives the same thing.
