Kerstpakket of keuzecadeau: wat is beter voor medewerkers?

Een keuzecadeau scoort doorgaans beter dan een traditioneel kerstpakket, omdat elke medewerker zelf iets kiest dat bij hem of haar past. Geen verspilling van producten die niemand wil, en een hogere waardering. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat keuzecadeaus tot 3x vaker als bijzonder worden ervaren dan standaard kerstpakketten.

Hoeveel mag een kerstcadeau voor medewerkers kosten onder de WKR?

Er is geen apart maximum voor kerstcadeaus — de waarde telt mee in de vrije ruimte van de werkkostenregeling (1,92% over de eerste €400.000 loonsom in 2026). De meeste bedrijven geven tussen de €25 en €75 per medewerker aan kerstcadeaus. Cadeo biedt kant-en-klare kerstcollecties in elke prijsklasse.

Hoe regel ik kerstcadeaus voor een groot team (500+ medewerkers)?

Met Cadeo upload je een lijst met namen en e-mailadressen, kies je een kerstcollectie, en het platform regelt de rest. Of het nu 50 of 5.000 medewerkers zijn — de verzending, herinneringen en logistiek worden automatisch afgehandeld. Achteraf ontvang je één overzichtelijke verzamelfactuur met een gedetailleerd rapport.

Kan ik kerstcadeaus via e-mail versturen zonder adressen?

Ja, dat is precies hoe Cadeo werkt. Je verstuurt een digitale uitnodiging per e-mail en de ontvanger kiest zelf een cadeau en vult het afleveradres in. Optioneel kun je ook een handgeschreven kaartje meesturen voor een extra persoonlijke touch. Geen adressengedoe, geen logistieke stress.

Wat zijn duurzame kerstcadeau-opties met impact?

Cadeo werkt uitsluitend met impact-gedreven merken en biedt donatie-opties als onderdeel van de kerstcollectie. Denk aan producten van sociale werkplaatsen, B Corp-gecertificeerde merken en de mogelijkheid om een deel van het cadeaubudget te doneren aan een goed doel. Zo wordt je kerstcadeau ook een statement.

Tot wanneer kan ik kerstcadeaus bestellen voor levering op tijd?

Voor digitale keuzecadeaus is er geen harde deadline — je kunt zelfs op 24 december nog versturen. De ontvanger kiest zelf wanneer het cadeau wordt bezorgd. Voor campagnes met een handgeschreven kaartje raden we aan om minimaal twee weken voor kerst te bestellen, zodat alles ruim op tijd arriveert.

Kan ik kerstcadeaus combineren met een donatie aan een goed doel?

Ja. Bij Cadeo kun je een donatie-optie toevoegen aan je kerstcollectie. Ontvangers kunnen dan kiezen tussen een fysiek cadeau of een donatie aan een goed doel — of een combinatie van beide. Dit sluit aan bij de groeiende vraag naar zinvolle, duurzame eindejaarsgeschenken.

Hoe meet ik het succes van mijn kerstcadeaucampagne?

Via het Cadeo-dashboard zie je real-time hoeveel cadeaus zijn verzilverd, welke producten het populairst zijn en hoeveel bedankberichten je hebt ontvangen. Na afloop ontvang je een uitgebreid campagnerapport met verzilveringspercentages, budgetoverzicht en impact-metrics dat je intern kunt delen.

The problem

Arranging year-end gifts is more complicated than it seems.

Whether you do it for ten or five hundred people: the obstacles are nearly always the same - and before you know it, it's a headache file. Familiar?

Addresses, logistics, and everything in between

Finding and correctly entering all the addresses is extremely time-consuming. Sending out forms, chasing them up, correcting them. And then you also have to plan a Christmas party and decide what you want to give.

One gift for all those people

Everyone is different, yet you want one gift that makes everyone happy. Something tailored for each individual? That's not feasible. And a standard package doesn't feel truly personal to anyone, even though that was the idea.

December is already busy enough

Searching for suppliers, coordinating everything, arranging approvals. Making sure everything arrives on time before the holidays. Before you know it, you spend weeks on it while the rest of your work continues.

About us

Why Christmas gifts with Cadeo?

We (Hendrik, Anthonia, and Ederik) wondered: why are business Christmas gifts often so cumbersome and thoughtless? Because to be honest: how often does a Christmas package end up unopened in the cupboard... or even in the trash? Did you know that 40% of business gifts are thrown away within six months?

At Cadeo, we think that's a shame. For us, a Christmas gift is not a transaction, but an opportunity to strengthen relationships. That's why we work with impact-driven brands and give recipients the choice: a gift that really suits them, or a donation to a good cause.
