Employee Christmas Gifts

personalised gift hampers created - one for every employee
100%
employee participation in the personalised gift programme
Zero
gift waste - every gift was chosen by the recipient
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 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.
The Result
100% participation,
zero gift waste
All 70 employees participated in the personalised gift programme - each receiving a gift set they had personally chosen. The mix-and-match approach eliminated gift waste entirely, while the curated collection ensured every option felt premium and considered.
