12 ways to congratulate the hero of the day at work
In principle, this is how you can congratulate a colleague on any birthday, but if it is an anniversary, you have to try.
In all my previous jobs, everything happened like this:
Almost at the last moment, the courier or secretary was sent for "some bouquet" and "some beautiful bottle." Then we phoned each other to orderly burst into the office of the hero of the day, where the powerful smell of smoked sausage had already settled.
A little more hitch to choose the most worthy of reading aloud wishes on a large postcard... A primitive rhyme sounded, applause, your colleague with a bouquet, bottle and envelope is distributing plastic cups of champagne. Everything!
Naturally, the slightest deviation from this scenario will be remembered for the rest of my life! Once colleagues used an old trick with a large number of boxes, gradually opening which the hero of the day found a small box with a gift. And another case was connected with a musical greeting over the speakerphone. Kirkorov sang: "I love you, Marina, stronger and stronger every day."
I'll try to advise something more effective ...
How to congratulate a colleague on his birthday in an original way
Order a personalized gift (engraving, stamping, printing)
Anyone will appreciate the attention of the team if you "breathe" a little warmth and individuality into an ordinary little thing.
A person's name, initials, photograph, or very personal text on a purse, diary, glass, flash drive, sweet gift, etc. makes the gift invaluable. I assure you that this is not overdone and is not thrown on the mezzanine.
Here are some examples (there are over 200 of them):
Arrange a professional photo session for the hero of the day
Women of any age love to be photographed, so for the beautiful half of office jubilees - an ideal option. Since she came to work in the best outfit, received many compliments, flowers and gifts, she glows from the inside with happiness, do not miss the moment!
We have a photographer who knows how to choose an interesting image for any person for portrait photography. Then you can take pictures with colleagues and artists, the birthday girl will have something to show on social networks!
The pictures are slightly corrected in Photoshop, it will be quite glamorous! ???? And here . Call us!
Present a festive program
Yes, that happens too. The whole team is having fun and celebrating the birthday man, combining congratulatory toasts with some memorable entertainment.
Unusual to give a gift
It will be very unexpected if a huge life size puppet suddenly comes into the office, rushes to hug the hero of the day, and gives him a gift. It can be a huge hare or a bear, a cartoon character or an alien monster. Go to a site where you can rent such a doll, dress up a volunteer, it will be great.
You can rent the usual carnival costumes and dress up the couple. Hussar and a young lady, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden (even funnier in summer), Superman and Batman, Pirate and Pirate, etc. Instruct them to congratulate a colleague “in images”. Do not forget to photograph all this as a keepsake.
Fountain in honor of the birthday boy! Chocolate…
Well, what can I say ... It's very beautiful and festive. Call a pastry chef who will launch (or better, three small fountains with white, milk and dark chocolate), cut beautiful pieces of biscuit, marshmallow and fruit, so that you can celebrate the beginning of the "sweet life" together with the hero of the day.
Decorate the cabinet
Oh, this is insanely pleasant ... Your colleague, who has matured for a year, drags to his workplace, opens an office, and there ...
Balloons under the ceiling or tied to chairs ... Or bright paper pom-poms (delivery folded, fluffing up is easy enough). Large inflatable toys and "Happy Birthday" garlands, fountains made of balloons (bundles of 10-15 pieces with a weighting agent on the floor), an inflatable bouquet of thin "sausages" look great. If you are in Moscow, call "Holiday Again" :-).
By the way, if we are talking about a men's anniversary, you can make giant numbers... Of what? ...
Make a presentation with congratulations from the team
If you have a meeting room with a projector, do not be lazy to make a funny presentation for your favorite hero of the day.
These can be collective video wishes from different departments, management, office neighbors. Or make a slideshow of pictures of your colleagues who, in different ways, but very original, wrote the word "Congratulations" on the hood of a snow-covered car, with coins on the table, pebbles in the sand, leaves on the asphalt, just printed on a printer and held in their hands.
Such a task can be given to employees in advance, then just collect all the photos in one presentation or wall newspaper. Easy and very pleasant ...
Show sand show
You've probably seen how an artist paints a beautiful story on a light table. Sand pictures replace each other, and on the big screen you see an animated movie. The congratulation lasts 15-20 minutes. By the way, the main role may be the birthday man himself! Sand story FOR him and ABM for him. Tell the artist ahead of time about the milestones in their life or career.
The reviews are always excellent, call me, I will advise the artist :-). All you need is a cabinet with a temporary dimming option. ...
Invite artists
♦ You invite a colleague to congratulate you in a small hall, suddenly gypsies burst in! Cheerfully, dancing to the guitar: “Maxim Sergey-e-eich dAAAA-raaaaa-goooy… Ai ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne-ne…” came to us, to us, and further in the text.
♦ I can also send you girls in feathers from the Brazilian carnival, a classic couple with ballroom dancing, tap dancers, whoever you want.
♦ It happens that there is no place for such fun in the office at all. In these cases, I recommend magician with micromagic session... The illusionist will show tricks with cards and coins right on the desktop to your colleague whom you wish happy birthday to.
Contact the secret gift service
I am very sorry that the UHTYBOX service did not exist during the years of my work in the holding. At that time, my duties included almost weekly selection of gifts for colleagues, and it was difficult and painful. The service offers to name a convenient order amount, and you do not need to deal with the choice of gifts, packaging and delivery.
The trick is that the contents of the box will be a surprise not only for the hero of the day, but also for the gift givers. Nobody knows in advance what will be in the secret box ... It is only known that it will be beautiful and stylish.
Firework!
Even if you went the traditional way (entered the office with a postcard), no one bothers to get three or four firecrackers for the premises and arrange fireworks. There is now crackers from which money flies(you can choose rubles, dollars or euros), rose petals or ordinary serpentine.
Let someone command: "Pli" so that it will be at the same time. It is better to warn the guards so as not to press the panic button in fear. The hero of the day will be showered with money from head to foot with best wishes.
Still look great "Cold fountains"... These are completely safe table or floor structures that delight the birthday person with bright silver splashes for several minutes. ...
The most killer option is a huge transparent ball, which contains from 50 to 100 small balls and confetti. You need to hang it from the ceiling. Now you need a daredevil with a pushpin. Bah-a-abah !!! And the whole office becomes colorful. I know a specialist in the manufacture of such a "killer" surprise ball, I will help.
Take a picture with the hero of the day with a photo booth
Why not use funny tendrils and stick sponges for a fun series of photos. By the way, even the most modest employees pose with such accessories, and the hero of the day will have a memory of a fun photo session. Pass out funny props and you won't hear, "I'm not doing well." All handsome!
These are all sold in holiday-themed stores.
Paint the big picture
I am telling you how it happens. They bring a huge painting to your office (100x150 cm or any other size), on which a professional artist, on your order, makes a sketch of a plot that your colleague will definitely like. In principle, it may be he himself, surrounded by palm trees, expensive cars and beauties. And then ... Everyone has to paint any object or part of the picture picturesquely. Of course, it will not be a masterpiece in the generally accepted sense, but it’s sooooo nice ... If the team has craftsmen, you can just buy a canvas and a frame, make a sketch.
Order a cake with a plot
Modern confectioners work wonders, so they will create a cake for your order that will make the hero of the occasion feel that this is HIS day, it is HIS cake. You can "blind" hobbies, habits, favorite films, even the hero of the day. This art has no boundaries other than the congratulation budget.
