What to Include in an Employee Welcome Kit
A great welcome kit makes a new hire feel part of the team before their first stand-up. The staples are branded apparel they will actually wear, a tee plus a hoodie or quarter-zip, an insulated bottle, a notebook and pen for day-one training, and a personal welcome card, all in a gift box that survives shipping. A typical kit runs about $60 to $90 per person, and this tool lets you set your hire count and build it item by item to hit that per-kit number. Order the apparel across all your hires at once to lower the per-kit cost, and we will quote it with no minimums and two-day shipping.

Most new-hire kits land between $50 and $90 per person. The default build here, a branded tee, a hoodie or quarter-zip, an insulated bottle, a notebook and pen, a welcome card, and a gift box, totals about $84 per kit. Toggle any item off or edit a price to hit your own day-one number.
Start from your new-hire count, then set a unit price for each item a person receives on day one. The tool multiplies by quantity and updates the per-kit and total figures as you toggle apparel, drinkware, and desk items in or out.
Order the branded apparel across all your hires at once so the tee and hoodie drop in unit price, keep one hero apparel piece instead of two, and drop low-impact extras like the gift box for a simpler mailer. The per-kit figure updates the moment you change anything.
