We often congratulate people on achieving a milestone or getting success in their professional or personal lives. A verbal congratulation wish is all that we offer to most people, but when it comes to your colleague who has been a great support to you, we think ways of congratulating him/her in some unique ways. Whether they have received a promotion at work or have a better job, it is important to send congratulations cake and wish your colleague to acknowledge their success and to be encouraging to them. We list below five unique ways to congratulate your co-workers on achieving success.

  • Buy a congratulations cake – Cake is synonymous with celebration and vice versa. No celebration is complete without a cake, and thus, when you plan to celebrate your colleague’s success, you must do so by buying congratulations cakes. A personalized celebration cake is the best way to congratulate your co-worker. You can order it from the online stores and get congratulatory notes written on the cake like a simple ‘congratulations’ or ‘so proud of you.’
  • Gift a personalized congratulations card – You can get a variety of congratulatory cards in the market to choose from. You can make a card at home to show how much your colleague’s success means to you. Recognize their specific achievement by mentioning it in the card. Also, mention to them how proud you are for their achievement and success. Be encouraging by writing motivating sentences.
  • Send a congratulations gift – If your colleague has found a new job and is leaving your company, you can send him a congratulatory gift. It can be anything from a personalized mug, a pen, a watch, or a fancy notebook. These items are easy to carry, especially if the colleague is relocated to another city or country. It will help your colleague to remember you repeatedly when they use your gift in their day-to-day life.
  • A business notebook – If your co-worker has been appointed for a managerial post or received an appraisal, it is time to congratulate him on his big moment. Sticky notes and to-do paper notes scattered all over the workplace is boring to look at. Instead of gift your colleague a notebook with a business planner that he can use to write his daily work schedules, make important notes, to-do lists, upcoming project plans, etc.
  • Fruit basket – A healthy way to congratulate your colleague is by gifting him a fruit basket with a congratulatory note written in it. An assorted fruit basket is a way to show your colleague that you are concerned about his health and that you wish him a healthy life ahead. You can prepare this fruit basket, keeping in mind the fruits that your co-worker is fond of eating.

The above unique ways to congratulate your colleague go a long way to show your happiness on your colleague’s success and builds a healthy rapport with your colleague to make the work ambiance enjoyable and fun.
