The power of the gift card as a company gift: give your employees ultimate freedom to choose.

With a gift card, there’s something for everyone: books, wellness, fashion, items for the home, or a day out, that’s what freedom to choose is all about. The recipient gets to choose their own gift, and you get to avoid buying the wrong thing, proving that you really can please everyone. It’s the perfect way to tailor your appre­ci­a­tion to the recipient’s pref­er­ences.

Critics argue that a gift card is playing it safe and too impersonal. But the freedom to choose offered by a gift card actually makes it the best way to ensure the recipient feels truly appre­ci­at­ed. And thanks to the range of per­son­al­i­sa­tion options, the gift can be tailored to both giver and receiver.

Getting a gift card is always a nice surprise, but the Kadonation Gift Card takes it a step further. Instead of being limited to a single shop or brand, it offers real freedom of choice. The recipient decides how, where and when to redeem their gift card, and can even split it over multiple purchases and different shops.

A quick overview of the advantages:

• Ultimate freedom to choose: the recipient chooses from more than 100 partners.
  
• Works inter­na­tion­al­ly: easily available in 30+ currencies.
• Tax-efficient: fully in line with the rules for employee gifts.
• Per­son­al­i­sa­tion options: add a personal message or video.
• Flexible to use: spend the value in one go or split it over multiple purchases.
• Validity: valid for 3 years, no pressure or rush to spend.
• Digital and physical: ideal for organ­i­sa­tions with a hybrid or remote working policy.

Nowadays, the most popular approach to showing your appre­ci­a­tion means you don’t have to choose: a flexible gift card combined with a meaningful gift.

Customers who choose this combo put most of the budget towards the Kadonation Gift Card, so employees can choose something they really want. On top of that they also receive a small, personal item tailored to the message the customer wants to convey: a symbolic item or a playful detail that aligns with your company culture.

• Freedom to choose + emotion = maximum appre­ci­a­tion
  The gift card leaves room for personal preference, while the physical gift adds warmth and sincerity. This com­bi­na­tion creates a gesture that is both relevant and meaningful.
• Efficient and memorable
  HR no longer has to choose individual gifts, but employees still feel like their gift has been tailored to them. A memorable experience, without any extra work.
• Brand identity and recog­nis­abil­i­ty
  Reflecting your company branding or values in your gift, for example a card with your logo or a small gadget that symbolises teamwork or growth, is a subtle way to strengthen your brand identity.
• Long-lasting and flexible
  No more unwanted gifts shoved in a drawer. The gift card gets spent, the gift used or shared.

• Classic & stylish: a beautiful envelope with per­son­alised card and Kadonation Gift Card with video.
• Creative & light-hearted: a mini Lego figure or plant with a ​‘Thank you for all your teamwork’ card.
• Seasonal: a winter gift with heartfelt message, together with a digital gift card offering them the freedom to choose.
