Unforgettable Employee Christmas Gift Ideas That Work

Tired of giving generic gift cards that get forgotten in a wallet? The best employee Christmas gift ideas are personal, memorable, and show genuine appreciation. A truly thoughtful gift is more than a holiday gesture; it’s a smart way to boost morale, strengthen company culture, and remind your team that their hard work is valued. This year, give them an experience they’ll be talking about well into the new year.

How It Works

Creating a unique holiday surprise for your team is delightfully simple. We’ve streamlined the process into three easy steps to deliver a magical experience without taking up your valuable time.

  1. Fill Out a Quick Survey: You’ll complete a simple online form with the key details. This is where you provide the fun stuff—team names, major achievements, inside jokes, or specific shout-outs you want Santa to include.
  2. We Craft Your Message: Our workshop gets busy creating a warm, authentic message straight from the North Pole. We take your notes and craft a special greeting packed with genuine holiday cheer.
  3. Receive Your Digital Delivery: We send the finished video or letter directly to you, ready to be shared with your employees via email, Slack, or as the grand finale of your holiday party.

What We Personalize

The magic is in the details. A personalized Santa video message or a custom Santa letter (print-ready keepsake) can be tailored to make your team feel truly recognized. For group or office orders, we can weave in details that speak to your unique company culture.

Here are just a few of the things we can personalize:

  • Team & Company Names: Giving a special shout-out to the entire company or specific departments.
  • Key Achievements: Celebrating a record-breaking quarter, a successful product launch, or overcoming a tough challenge.
  • Company Traditions: Mentioning annual holiday parties, funny office awards, or other inside jokes.
  • Core Values: Highlighting how the team embodied company values like teamwork, innovation, or resilience.
  • Individual Recognition: Acknowledging a top performer or a team member who went above and beyond (great for smaller teams).
  • Family-Friendly Wishes: Extending warm holiday greetings to your employees' families, showing you value their life outside of work.
  • Future Goals: Looking forward to an exciting new year and the great things to come.
