Staff hampers from MakeHampers are the simple way to thank a team. A chocolate box, a bucket of craft beers, an afternoon tea, or an alcohol-free box for the whole floor. Ordered in bulk, sent to homes or desks, each with its own free gift message.
Free UK delivery, no minimum on one hamper and bulk pricing from twenty. Right for Christmas, a thank-you, a work anniversary or a well-earned lift in morale. And a gift of £50 or less can be tax-free under HMRC's trivial-benefits rule.
A staff hamper is a gift sent to employees to say thank you. It rewards the people who did the work. It lifts a team's mood. The boxes are the standard range, ordered in bulk, sent to homes or straight to the office. One order covers the whole floor.
A good staff gift is one they would actually choose. Chocolate, a craft beer bucket, an afternoon tea, or a sweet-and-savoury spread to graze on. It reads as a thank-you, not a box-tick. For a whole team you do not know one by one, keep it broad and let each person enjoy their own.
Here is the useful part. Under HMRC's trivial-benefits rule, a gift to an employee can be free of tax and National Insurance. It has to cost £50 or less. It cannot be cash or a cash voucher. And it cannot be a reward for their work. A hamper fits all three. For company directors the exemption caps at £300 a year. We are not tax advisers, so check your own position. But a staff hamper under £50 is a common way to say thank you with no tax bill.
Match the gift to the reason:
| For | Start with |
|---|---|
| Christmas | the corporate Christmas hampers |
| A thank-you or well done | the chocolate hampers and snack hampers |
| Wellbeing, no alcohol | the alcohol-free hampers |
| A Friday team lift | the beer hampers |
| A work anniversary | the cheese and wine hampers |
Sending across a mixed team, the alcohol-free boxes matter. Around a third of the range holds no alcohol, so nobody is left with a gift they cannot use.
Buying for one colleague's birthday rather than the whole team? The birthday gifts for colleagues page is built for that.
Twenty or more runs through our team, not the checkout. You give us the numbers and the budget per head. We quote the lot. One invoice covers it. Each hamper carries its own free gift message, and letterbox boxes post to homes with nobody needing to be in. The how corporate orders work page walks through it.
If procurement needs the sustainability detail, our sustainability page covers British sourcing and recyclable packing.
Delivery is free to every UK address on the order. A weekday order in by 1pm ships the same day, and bulk sends land in the window you choose. Home-address gifts go best as letterbox boxes, since they need no signature. For the timings, see the delivery and returns page.
Something broad enough to suit a whole team. A chocolate box, a craft beer bucket, or an alcohol-free treat box all land as a thank-you. Keep it to food and drink and nobody is left out, and a gift message makes each one feel meant.
A hamper that suits a per-head budget and posts to home addresses. A letterbox box of chocolate or savoury snacks works for most teams. The corporate Christmas range gathers the ones built for bulk sending in December.
They can be. HMRC's trivial-benefits rule makes a gift exempt from tax and National Insurance when it costs £50 or less, is not cash, and is not a reward for work. A hamper qualifies. Directors are capped at £300 a year. Check your own position, but most staff hampers sit inside the rule.
Yes, to every address on one order, free of charge. Letterbox boxes are best for homes, since they drop through the door with nobody in. Send us the list and each hamper goes out with its own gift message.
