The Christmas party is booked, two people want the same week of annual leave, and the employee gifts are still on your list. If you're looking into bulk Christmas gift cards for employees, here's a simple way to approach corporate gifting that lets everyone pick something they'll genuinely look forward to.
Bulk Christmas Gift Cards for Employees That People Actually Use
A team of forty has forty different tastes. Choosing a personal gift for each person is a second job, and guessing wrong is easy. Bulk gifting with digital gift cards flips that around: you buy once, and each person chooses for themselves.
With Gifting Owl, you pick the voucher value, add a personal message and a design, then send it by email. Order through our corporate page (more on that below) and the vouchers can carry your company logo. Your staff then book online, live on Gifting Owl, from 19,000+ experiences in 100+ countries. Vouchers are valid for 3 years, so nobody has to rush to book between the end-of-year deadlines and the office shutdown.

Why Experiences Beat Another Generic Gift
Ask anyone what they got last Christmas and you'll get a shrug. Ask them about the time they jumped out of a plane and you'll get twenty minutes. That's the whole argument for experiences, and it works for a team too.
- They choose. The adrenaline fan and the person who wants a quiet Saturday both get what they actually want, and a gift people pick themselves tends to land better.
- They come with a story. A shared "did you see the sunrise?" chat in January does more for team spirit than a branded notebook, and it's a far more memorable thank-you. Our post on 8 reasons to gift staff experiences is handy if you need to convince the boss.
- There's nothing to wrap, ship or store. Delivery is an email, not a courier van.
Experience Ideas Your Team Might Actually Use
For the Foodies: Winery Tours and Food Experiences
Cellar doors, long tables and someone else doing the pouring. Tell winery-tour recipients to sort a designated driver before they book. Browse our food and drink experiences for tastings, tours and more.
For the Ones Who Volunteer First: Skydiving
That moment when the door opens and the wind takes over is hard to describe, which is why people keep describing it. Skydiving is weather dependent, so tell recipients to keep their dates flexible when they book. It suits the team members who put their hand up for every offsite activity.

Rock Climbing, Abseiling and White Water Rafting
Chalky hands, a long way up, and a colleague holding the rope. Or a boat full of people paddling in the wrong direction (all in good fun). Both are suitable for teams who like a challenge. Suggest they book the same session so the story is shared.
For the Early Risers: Hot Air Ballooning
Quiet, slow and high above the paddocks. The catch is the early start, and a flight can be called off if the weather doesn't play along. A hot air balloon ride suits someone who has earned a gentle reward and doesn't mind setting an alarm for it.
For the Person Who Answers Emails at 9pm: Spa Days and Massages
Warm towels, low lights and no inbox. A spa day or massage can be on the pricier side, so it's worth choosing a higher voucher value for it. If a recipient picks something cheaper, the balance stays on their account for another experience.
Sorting the Practical Bits: Remote Staff, Logos and Timing
Staff scattered across several locations? Delivery is by email only, so it makes no difference whether someone is in the next office or the next country. You can send vouchers immediately or schedule them to deliver at a chosen date and time, such as Christmas morning. Recipients then book online whenever it suits them. For more ideas, see our gift ideas for remote employees.
Corporate vouchers can carry your company logo, and the same approach works if you're thanking clients as well as staff. With that much choice on offer, there's something suitable for most tastes. Bulk gifting discounts start from 10% off at 10 vouchers and increase with quantity, and large orders can be arranged through an enquiry. The vouchers are flexible, too. If someone wants a different experience, exchanges are free, and a greater-value choice just means paying the difference by card.
One for the finance team: gifts to staff can have tax implications depending on your location, so it's worth a quick word with your accountant. On our side, there's no GST or VAT at purchase; tax applies when the experience is booked. If you're building a wider plan for the year, our guide to bulk employee appreciation gifts covers more than Christmas.
