What Should Be Included in Our PC Incentive Bundle for Employees?

[rennea]

For those of you who don’t know my DH and I own a restaurant and I am coming up with an incentive package for employees. We have recently created a new training program and when the employee hits different levels we give them an incentive. When they finish the course they receive a nice package. I would like to make it a “PC” bundle. My question is what does everyone think that the bundle should have in it. I would like to keep it in the $100-150 range.
My favourite PC item is probably the batter bowls so I will start with that. Any other idea’s??

Thanks Guys

What about making a theme for the gift? Maybe baking and including the large bar pan, a scoop, measure-all or easy reads, small mix n scraper, some yummy recipes, etc.

What are the interests and ages of your employees?

I agree to keep everything thematically related.

I think basic tools that everyone can use are a good idea: SS Whisk, Classic Scraper, Mix N Scraper, Mini Serving Spatula, Med. Bar Pan, Oven Mitt...

I like the theme idea.Maybe a "pizza kit" - stone, rack, a turner, pizza cutter, Italian seasoning...

Thanks for the imput. Employees going through the program are 19+. We already have the med round stone and cutter as a incentive and I would like to keep adding to it.
So far I'm thinking: Classic scraper,bamboo spoons,measuring spoons, whisk,batter bowl, forged paring knife, and maybe med bar pan, celebrate plate,mini spatula. hmmm....choices I would like to put a little bit of EVERYTHING I'm going to wrap it all up with cello and ribbon. We also do some exchanges with a local supermarket and I'm putting in $25 food certificates so they can by the supplies to use all there new kitchen goodies.

Sounds like a great start! The nice thing about smaller items is that it looks like you are giving them A LOT! (Which you are of course).

Maybe add a new TTA to hold it all! I think I started using PC stuff twice as much when I got my TTA vs. when it was all in a drawer.

I am all for the forged knives (they are my favorites!) but make sure if you give them one, you give them the honer as well, or they will not like it once it needs honed!

I like your idea of putting it all into a BB and wraping it up, that will look nice!
