The Challenge

Christmas gifts that every
employee actually wants

Finova's HR team wanted to provide personalised Christmas gifts that catered to individual employee preferences - rather than a one-size-fits-all hamper that some employees would appreciate and others wouldn't. With 70 employees across different preferences, demographics, and household situations, the challenge was creating a genuinely personalised experience at scale without creating significant HR admin.

  • Goal: provide personalised Christmas gifts that cater to individual employee preferences
  • Target audience: all 70 company employees
  • Desired outcome: high employee satisfaction through personalised gift selection and reduced gift waste
The Approach

Mix-and-match gifting
at scale

Smilie's platform enabled all 70 Finova employees to personalise their own Christmas gift sets from a curated collection including luxurious wellness products, dining experiences, and family outings. Each employee could mix and match items according to their preferences - ensuring every gift was wanted and appreciated.

  • The Collection

    Wellness, Dining & Family Experiences

    The curated selection included luxurious wellness products, dining experiences, and family outings - giving employees meaningful choices across different lifestyle categories.

  • The Mechanic

    Mix-and-Match Personalisation

    Each employee could mix and match items from the collection according to their own preferences - creating a truly personalised gift rather than a pre-set hamper.

  • The Scale

    70 Employees, 70 Unique Sets

    The Smilie platform handled all 70 personalised selections simultaneously - no HR admin, no coordination overhead, no chasing.

  • The Outcome

    Zero Waste by Design

    Because every employee chose their own gift, every item delivered was genuinely wanted. No unwanted products, no re-gifting, no waste.
