The average American works 47 hours a week, according to a recent Gallup poll. One way many coworkers choose to connect while developing esprit de corps during the typical work day is through the popular office candy jar. But why stock yours with average, everyday treats when you can choose something far more extraordinary? Let’s examine the phenomenon of the office candy jar while highlighting some watercooler-worthy candy jar rations.
Salty, sweet, 3pm perfection.
The 411 on the Office Candy Jar
Want to advance in your job? The trick may be easier than you think. According to one study, 90 percent of people who do one thing in the workplace wind up with promotions. If you’re thinking “work late” or “bring in new clients,” you may be surprised by the surprisingly simple answer: Keep a candy bowl on your desk.
While this may, in fact, be a bit of an oversimplification, the truth is that networking plays a significant role in career advancement. And what simpler way to network than to make your desk the go-to spot for your co-workers during the mid-afternoon slump?
Even if you’re not angling for a promotion, the candy dish offers yet another benefit: it help boosts morale in the workplace, making it a happier, more pleasant place to be.
The New and Improved Candy Jar
Unfortunately, the contents of the usual office candy jar can be less-than-exciting after a while. If you’re truly looking to impress your coworkers, why not skip the last minute stop at the convenience store on your way into work and instead take advantage of the unexpected offerings of mail order foods from gourmet food gift leader FoodyDirect? Featuring an assortment of the country’s tastiest treats, these sophisticated snacks are guaranteed to please even the most refined palates while making your desk the day’s destination.
Wondering where to begin? You can’t go wrong with FoodyDirect’s gourmet popcorn in flavors that beg for conversation. A favorite of celebs including Kelly Ripa and Neil Patrick Harris, the Hampton Popcorn Company elevates basic popcorn into an epicurean adventure. Choose between flavors like Sea Salt Caramel, White Cheddar Truffle, Bacon Cheddar, Chipotle Cheddar Cheese, and the technicolor “Fruitfetti” or mix and match a supersized custom gift tin in your choice of flavors. When 3pm hits and the salty-sweet cravings strike, this crunchy, crispy snack offers irresistible allure.
But no one said candy jar snacks had to be sugar-laden, junk food confections. Sunnyvale, California’s Olson’s Cherries, a favorite of Martha Stewart herself, has made a name for its fine fruit. It takes things to the next luscious level with a selection of pastel chocolate-covered gems, including cherries, strawberries, apricots, and blueberries.
Chocolate-covered deliciousness.
Beyond the Candy Jar
But the appeal of mail order food for the office doesn’t end with the candy jar. Whether you’re celebrating a coworker’s birthday, work anniversary, or another milestone, mail order cakes and cupcakes are a delectable alternative to blah, boring, same-old grocery store cakes.
And when it comes to corporate gifts, mail order offerings are perfect for honoring clients and employees alike.
Whether you’re on a networking mission or simply looking to boost office morale, today’s mail order candy, cookies, cakes and other confections are guaranteed to impress while making those long hours at the office just a little sweeter. Shop candy jar stuffers and other game-changing gifts today.
