Interns are the unsung heroes of your team—juggling tasks, asking smart questions, and bringing fresh energy to the table. Whether it’s the end of the internship or you just want to say thanks for their hustle, finding the right intern appreciation gift goes a long way.
Here are three thoughtful and effective intern gift ideas that strike the perfect balance of professional and personal:
1. Send a Custom Gift Box
Nothing says "we appreciate you" like a personalized gift box filled with thoughtful items. You can tailor each gift to reflect your brand and their personality—think snacks, self-care items, fun desk accessories, and a handwritten note from the team. Whether you have five interns or fifty, a curated intern gift box makes it easy to show you care in a meaningful way.
Why it works:
Custom gift boxes are personal, easy to scale, and way more memorable than a generic coffee mug.
2. Let Them Pick Their Own Gift
If you’re unsure what to send—or just want to give interns the power of choice—offer a Gift of Choice option. You set the budget, they pick the gift. It’s flexible, modern, and feels like a treat without putting pressure on you to guess what they’d love.
Why it works:
You respect their individuality while still showing appreciation. Plus, it works great for hybrid or remote internship programs.
3. The Intern Appreciation Box
Recognize your interns for the value they bring with a gift that feels both thoughtful and intentional. Our NEW Intern Appreciation Box is the perfect choice.
Why it works:
It reinforces your company culture and gives interns something to remember their experience by.
