LARQ 17 Ounce Self-Cleaning Water Bottle and Water Purification System
Many workers already have a standard stainless steel water bottle, but the LARQ water bottle is so much more than that. Instead of workers having to constantly clean their water bottles, the LARQ uses UV-C LED light to clean itself! The LARQ cleans the inside of the bottle and purifies the water, removing up to 99.9999% of harmful bacteria and viruses.
This is especially important to prevent illness during the cold and flu season. By pressing a button, this water bottle purifies water in 60 seconds. It also keeps water cold for up to 24 hours with its double-wall insulation. The best part? Once employees have started using it, it will self-activate every two hours, meaning that the water bottle will stay cleaning with no effort required. The LARQ is available in Monaco Blue, Obsidian Black, Seaside Mint, Granite White, or Himalayan Pink, and can be customized with a logo. This gift will definitely keep your employees hydrated, healthy, and happy!

Beekman 1802 Farm to Skin Ultimate Hand Care Gift Set
This employee gift will encourage your employees to take some time for themselves and enjoy the finer things in life.

Bring your employees some comfort with a Beekman 1802 Hand & Body Wash and a Beekman 1802 Hand Lotion. These products are made with goat milk, which contains caprylic acid.
The pH level of goat milk is close to that of human skin, which means that your skin will soak it up easily. Goat milk helps to provide a natural moisture barrier for the skin. Beekman 1802 products are also 100% vegetable-based and cruelty-free, so you can feel good about giving your employees gifts that use high quality, clean ingredients that come straight from the farm. These items come in a cotton zippered pouch that can be customized with a company logo.
