The first day sets the tone. A new joiner who finds a generic mug on their desk gets one message. A new joiner who finds something made for them, with their name on it, gets another. Welcome kits are small, but they are one of the cheapest ways to make people feel they made the right choice.
Here is how to build a welcome kit around hand-embroidered pieces, and how to order it for the way your team actually hires.
What goes in a good employee welcome kit?
A good welcome kit mixes something useful with something personal. A branded notebook and pen cover the basics, but the piece people remember is usually the one made for them: a tee or sweatshirt with their name or initials. Keep it to a few quality items rather than a pile of throwaway swag.
Why personalised handmade pieces work for onboarding
Every Vee Threads piece is stitched by hand in our Bulandshahr studio and personalised with the wearer's name or initials. For a new hire, that is the difference between standard company merchandise and a gift that feels like it was waiting for them. It is also something they will wear outside work, which quietly puts your brand in the world.
Build your welcome kit
Three pieces that work on their own or together as a kit. Each can be personalised with a name or initials.

Welcome kit FAQ
Can you put each new hire's name on their kit?
Yes, every piece is personalised by hand with a name or initials. Send us the list and we stitch each one individually.
Can you handle one new joiner at a time?
Yes. Tell us each joining date and we will turn pieces around to suit. The more notice you give us, the better.
How big should a welcome kit be?
Most teams pick one or two pieces, such as a tee plus a cap. A few quality items read better than a big pile of swag.
Can we match sizes for each person?
Yes. Collect sizes during onboarding and tell us per person. Tees and sweatshirts run XS to XL.
Do you deliver across India?
Yes, we ship across India, to one office or to each new hire directly. Let us know which works for you.
