Christmas gifting tips from Office Management Group members

Are you counting down to Christmas already? Huggg’s survey of the Office Management Group, a community for office and administration professionals, revealed that 63.3% of members look after Christmas gifts, and 68% enjoy it. Here are OM’s most useful Christmas gifting tips and insights.

Start planning early

Huggg discovered that 58% of members start preparing in August! Worryingly, 47% spend over a day organising Christmas gifting. Huggg helps you find the perfect gift for every colleague, and schedule them in advance to avoid the Christmas rush. With plenty of gift choice and no need to worry about updating addresses or GDPR, Huggg is a one-stop shop – leaving you more time to plan the Christmas festivities.

Christmas gifting favourite – food and drink

Food and drink (46.8%) closely followed by hampers (45.6%) are the most popular Christmas gifts. Huggg favourites include Harding Gomez hampers and Virgin wine boxes, as well as crowd-pleasing advent calendars. Every gift is tested via mystery shopping, so you can be assured of its quality.

Budgets are a barrier (but they don’t have to be)

51.4% said that the main reason for not sending gifts is budget. Huggg’s high quality gifts suit budgets of all sizes – and include postage costs. Our survey found 34.2% like the flexibility of gift cards, and our gifts with choice ensures they’ll get something they love.

Include every employee in your Christmas gifting

46.8% of members want to send gifts to the office and the home, so they can treat in-office, hybrid and remote teams equally, and 62% plan to send gifts to every employee. Send a single gifting link to an entire team with the Group link function, which also provides a space for social engagement – great for measuring gift success.

Remember to collect feedback

Only 6.3% use employee engagement surveys following a gift, and most gauge gift success from the number of thank you’s they receive. Group link reporting can help you measure gifting more effectively, so you can create a happier workplace.
