Choosing Christmas gifts for employees can become surprisingly difficult when your team includes different ages, personalities and interests. Nobody needs another drawer full of corporate merchandise, and questionable branded socks rarely create the festive excitement businesses hope for. Food, however, tends to disappear remarkably quickly. Brownie and the Bean creates handcrafted Christmas treats that businesses can send to employees throughout the UK.
The best employee gifts make people feel genuinely appreciated rather than simply ticking another task from December’s list. A thoughtful food gift creates an experience that employees can enjoy at home, share with family or secretly hide for themselves. We certainly will not judge that final option. Brownies, mince pies, shortbread, festive cookies, Christmas cake and hampers can all work for different budgets and team sizes.
Hybrid working has completely changed the traditional office Christmas. Your team might work from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and kitchen tables across the country. That makes Christmas gifts for remote employees particularly useful when you want everyone to feel included. We can send individual corporate gifts directly to recipients across the UK rather than delivering everything to one central office.
Adding your company branding can create a polished gift while keeping the experience warm and personal. We offer branded packaging, company colours, logos and personalised messaging across selected corporate gifting options. Companies can also include a gift message thanking employees for their contribution throughout the year. For larger workforces, individually wrapped brownies and branded Christmas crackers provide practical options with strong presentation.
A thoughtful gift does not need to cost £50 per person. Smaller festive food gifts can work brilliantly when you have a large workforce or several locations. Set your total budget first, divide employees into any necessary groups, then choose a product that feels generous at that price. Remember to include delivery and branding costs when comparing suppliers so your final budget stays realistic.
Choosing handcrafted Christmas gifts for employees also gives your company an opportunity to support another British business. Our family bakery sits on the Norfolk and Suffolk border, where our team handcrafts brownies and seasonal bakes in small batches. We source local ingredients wherever possible and make many of the elements inside our bakes ourselves. Your staff therefore receive something made by real people rather than another mass-produced corporate gift.
Early ordering gives you the widest choice of branding, products and delivery dates. Branded Christmas crackers require confirmation by 1 September 2026, while branded Christmas hampers have a 1 October deadline. We can still fulfil many bulk orders afterwards, although bespoke options may become limited. If you already know your employee numbers and budget, getting organised now will make December considerably less frantic.
How much should a company spend on employee Christmas gifts?

What can I send remote employees for Christmas?
Brownies, mince pies and other food gifts work well because they can travel directly to individual UK addresses.
Can staff Christmas gifts feature our company branding?
Yes. Selected gifts can include branded packaging, logos, colours, messages and individually wrapped branded brownies.
