Year-end staff gifting fails more often from poor planning than from a bad product choice — the scramble in the first week of December is where most of the generic, forgettable decisions actually get made.
The timeline that actually works
See the year-end gifts guide for Kenya for market-specific lead times. The general rule: lock in budget and product choice by October, place the order in early November, and delivery lands comfortably before the office closes rather than racing the calendar.
Budgeting per team or level
Different gift types or budgets per team, department, or seniority level are normal, not an edge case — it doesn't need to be one identical item for the entire company.
Handling staff on leave
For anyone away from the office in December, a RewardsCard sends digitally regardless of location, so annual leave doesn't hold up the whole batch or leave someone out entirely.
Browse the December collection or talk to the team to lock in your timeline.
