How to send Christmas gift cards to employees

01

Set up and fund

Sign up, complete a one-time business check, and add funds in your preferred currency.

02

Add your team

Upload a spreadsheet with names, countries and values, or connect your HR system.

03

Schedule the day

A second person signs off, the cards go out on the date you pick, and you track every send live.

What you get

Christmas corporate gifts for employees, in one order

Sent on the day

Set the date once, and every card goes out before the break.

Their choice of brand

Send a reward link and let each person pick the gift card they want.

Every office, one order

One order covers several countries, and each person gets a card in their own currency.

A festive, branded email

Add your logo, colours and a message from the leadership team.

Nobody left out

Email, SMS or WhatsApp, so frontline staff without a work inbox get theirs too.

Unclaimed cards

Reward links can expire on a date you set. Cancel unclaimed links and the value returns to your wallet.

Timing

When to send Christmas gift cards to employees

The weeks before Christmas fill up fast. Start in November, and the send is ready long before anyone goes on leave.

  • Send about a week before the break, while everyone is still at work.
  • Allow time for a second person to check the list and sign off.
  • Not sure how much to give, or how the cards are taxed? See our gift cards for employees guide.

Let each person pick their Christmas gift card

A single brand for the whole company always misses someone. A reward link lets each employee choose from the Plum gift card catalogue, in their own country and currency.

  • Shopping, food, travel and entertainment brands side by side.
  • One link per person, with an expiry date you set.
  • Prefer one brand for everyone? Send that card directly instead.

Message

Christmas or holiday gift cards: getting the wording right

Not everyone on your team celebrates Christmas. You write the message on every card, so you can send one card to everyone with words that fit.

  • Use “Christmas” where your whole team celebrates it.
  • Use “holidays” or “year-end” for a mixed or global team.
  • Send a different message to each country in the same order.

Christmas

Merry Christmas, and thank you for everything you did this year.

Holidays

Happy holidays. Enjoy the break, you’ve earned it.

Year-end

Thank you for this year. Here’s something to spend on whatever you like.

Ideas

Christmas gift card ideas for every team

The whole company

One send for everyone, the same value at every level.

Remote and hybrid teams

No hampers to post, and no home addresses to collect.

Frontline and shift staff

Cards by SMS or WhatsApp for people without a work inbox.

Managers to their teams

Give each manager a budget to thank their own people.

December joiners

Add new starters to the list so nobody misses out.

Year-end top performers

A bigger card for the people who carried the year.

Pay on issue, or pay on use

Plum runs on a pre-funded wallet. You choose when it’s debited.

Pay on issue

You pay the full card value the moment each card is sent.

  • A fixed, known cost for every send.
  • Suits awards and gifts, where every card gets used.
  • Unused value stays with Xoxoday.

Pay on use

You pay only for the value people actually spend.

  • Unused value goes back to your wallet.
  • Suits survey incentives and campaigns, where some cards go unused.

Questions about Christmas gift cards for employees

About a week before people leave for the break, so the card arrives while everyone is still at work. Schedule the send in advance, and it goes out on the day without anyone pressing a button.
