Suggestion to break the ice a little... Go to the dollar store or another store and buy inexpensive office supplies like post it notes in an appropriate design, pens are nice too, or anything They might use in their daily grind. Get a nice set of note cards in a unisex design. Inside you could write, it isn't often that we get a moment to show our gratitude. I wanted to take one today to tell you that I appreciate you and the efforts you make to help our team succeed. People like to be appreciated.

Azuriela, I'd have to work up the nerve.
Fungirlmmm, I might just do that. That could really help.
Thank you both for the suggestions.

@lseule maybe invite them to hang out outside of work sometime ?

@LSeule you're welcome. good luck !
