Character Pins are one of our staple recognition products at Baudville, and they’re popular because they can be used in a variety of recognition situations. To help you apply this popular item in your organization, we've compiled a list of ten occasions where Character Pins make a great recognition gift.

1. Office Birthdays. Give a Happy Birthday Character Pin to acknowledge an employee’s birthday. It’s both a gift and greeting card. Encourage employees to wear the pin on their special day, so everyone can celebrate with them!

2. Anniversaries. Present a Happy Anniversary Character Pin to recognize an employee’s years of service. You can customize the pin with the number of years you’re celebrating. This is a great item to give in between milestone anniversaries to acknowledge employees' contributions.

3. Team Recognition. Recognize a team for the completion of a project by selecting a different Character Pin for each team member. For an extra personal touch, read the stories when you present the pins for an award presentation the team won’t forget!

4. Holiday Recognition. Thank your employees at the end of the year with a holiday Character Pin that expresses your gratitude for all their hard work and optimism for the new year. Baudville creates new pins every year, so you can incorporate one into your holiday recognition year after year.
