Add Decorations
-
Perhaps the easiest way to celebrate the first day of spring is to decorate. Bring spring inside by adding color to your office. If you work in a drab, gray cubicle, add a few new, vibrant pictures to brighten the walls. Then add a few knickknacks on your desk, such as a pastel pencil holder, to liven up the décor. Add a festive candy dish with multicolored candy both as a decoration and as a reward for winter-weary co-workers.
Bring Flowers
-
Nothing says spring more than bouquets of fresh flowers. Out of consideration for your co-workers, you'll want to select flowers that don't release strong scents. For instance, gardenias are lovely flowers, but you'll need to make certain no one is sensitive to the scent. Roses are always a spring favorite. Look for pink and yellow roses to brighten up the office. Zinnias are also a pretty way to bring spring inside.
Hold a Celebration

Having an office party can be fun. You can have a First Day of Spring potluck lunch where everyone brings a favorite dish. If you don't have time for a luncheon, skip straight to dessert. Have everyone bring in a special spring treat. You can make cupcakes frosted with pastel icing or cookies sprinkled with pastel-colored sugar. If you don't have time to bake, your local grocery-store bakery will have some brightly decorated goodies. Pair your baked treats with pink or yellow lemonade.
Clean Up

Although it might not sound like a favorite spring activity, a lot can be said for clearing away the clutter and getting organized. Spring is a time of starting over, so you can organize an office spring-cleaning party. Starting by clearing off the top of your desk. File all those papers that have been piling up. Toss any old documents you no longer need. Organize your office supplies. Clean old files off your computer.
