Sure, you can give your employees the standard catered lunch when you want to show appreciation, but that’s not very personal. Why not take an extra step by gifting them something thoughtful for their child?

As long as you feel comfortable doing so, giving an associate something for their little one shows you value and understand their life outside of work. It’s also one less thing for them to buy.

Kids are active and full of pent-up energy. That’s why any of these gifts would make a thoughtful, practical present for the caregivers in your company. They also make following an active grownup around that much easier, with the added plus that they keep youngsters warm and make them look adorable.

Keep kiddos ready for action with these cozy pairs of anti-skid socks. With multiple sizes and vibrant colorways to choose from, these cotton-blend socks sport extra-strong grip patterns from heel to toe for stability. That makes them perfect for keeping rambunctious kids steady as they walk, skip, run, slide, or attempt a new dance move. Youngsters ages 4-7 can wear these breathable athletic socks with or without shoes. They boast soft terry loops for comfort and a little extra cushion beneath heels and toes. Parents who like to stay organized will also appreciate that the sizing is stitched into the cuffs to keep track of various pairs on laundry day.
For the employee with a fearless equestrian at home, you can’t go wrong with this pair of TuffRider jods. Crafted from comfortable cotton with a dash of spandex for give, these pull-on breeches sport UltraGrip knee patches, a false fly, Velcro ankle closures, and belt loops for versatility. They come in a wide range of sizes and bold colors to help young riders stand out from the crowd. And after a long day of riding, parents can toss them into the washing machine with everything else.
Soft, breathable, and crafted from cotton that resists snags and tears, these stretchy tights move with active children. With over ten vibrant colors and six sizes, they’re perfect for adding a pop of style to a girls’ outfit or keeping baby boys warm on chillier days. Walk, jump, or run thanks to nonskid grip soles that run from heel to toe for peace of mind on slippery surfaces. And thanks to stretchy, flex fabric, growing kiddos can wear these for some time to come.
Have a colleague who sends their little one off to frequent playdates in the wintertime? Get them geared up and ready for fun activities with these cable knit tights. They’re cute enough to complete a darling outfit thanks to classic colors and a cable knit pattern that runs up to the stretch waistband. Every pair sports a nonslip grip on the heels and balls of the feet to help keep little ones from slipping and sliding as they enjoy themselves. These anti-skid soles also make them ideal for wearing with shoes that might be a little too roomy, keeping little feet in place and preventing blisters.
These charming boys’ gloves will suit any little adventurer and are durable enough for everyday wear. Keep hands and fingers warm while maintaining motion with plenty of grips. The elastic comfort cuffs make them easy for kids to pull on and off themselves, and the 3M Thinsulate construction keeps cold out. With dinosaur, camouflage, and other playful themes, these handy gloves are perfect for kids and toddlers who won’t slow down even when it’s snowing out.

Your employees are probably used to getting things like gift cards and office supplies, so try surprising them with something thoughtful. Being a working parent is hard, and they’ll appreciate you recognizing that.

Not only will these gifts for active kids encourage play and exploration, but they’ll also keep little ones comfy as they discover the next wonder that’s waiting for them. And every time your employee sees their child having a blast wearing one of these accessories, they’ll think about how considerate and caring their boss is.
