Employees Prefer Gift Cards
Gift cards are one of the most popular workplace rewards, and with good reason.
Polls have found that 76% of UK employees prefer gift cards over other types of rewards [source: HR News]. They’re flexible, easy to deliver, and let employees choose something they actually want.
Gift cards are also cost-effective for employers as they fall under HMRC’s ‘Trivial Benefits’ allowance (up to £50).
This means you can show employees appreciation without triggering tax or national insurance liabilities. Compare that with traditional cash bonuses, which increase pension, NI, and payroll admin costs, and the business case becomes clear.
For example,
The outcome?
Zero national insurance contributions
Thanks to the HMRC Trivial Benefits exemption on gift cards within the £50 annual limit.
Direct saving
This is a direct saving of £650 on employer National Insurance contributions compared to a traditional cash bonus.
Gifteo’s Gift Card Solution
Gifteo makes it easy to deliver gift cards and vouchers for employees that they’ll genuinely value.
You can choose from two popular options:
Gifteo Multi-store Gift Card
This is an all-in-one digital card that gives employees the freedom to choose where they spend it. It’s accepted across the entire Mastercard network (just like a debit card), which means it’s redeemable at thousands of shops, restaurants, and experiences across the UK. It’s a simple way to offer choice without needing to pick specific gift ideas or retailers.
Retailer Gift Cards
Gifteo also gives you access to a full catalogue of gift cards and vouchers for staff from trusted UK retailers such as: Amazon, Tesco, John Lewis, M&S, Harrods, Boots, ASOS, IKEA, Cineworld, Asda
Employees can benefit from gift cards in a huge range of categories, including:
- Everyday essentials (groceries, household goods)
- Lifestyle and wellness (gym, spa, beauty)
- Big-ticket items (tech, furniture, holidays)
- Entertainment (cinemas, events, eating out, streaming services)
- Experiences (hotel stays, theme parks, family days out)
Plus, you can customise delivery with personal messages and automated timing (e.g for birthdays, Christmas gifts, or long service awards).

How It Works
With Gifteo, sending reward vouchers and employee gift cards is simple. There are no spreadsheets, manual codes, or complicated admin processes. Here’s how it works:
Set your budget
Purchase credit upfront through Gifteo. You stay in control of spending, and there’s no need to top up every time you want to issue one.
Allocate credit to managers or HR
Distribute credit to team leads or departments (or convert it into reward points for them to allocate). You decide who in your organisation can issue gift cards and reward vouchers for employees, plus how much flexibility they have.
Send gift cards to your employees
Managers or admins can send instant gift cards or schedule them for key milestones, like work anniversaries, birthdays, or Christmas bonuses. Cards are delivered digitally and can be accompanied by a personalised message.
Employees choose how to spend it
Staff can use their gift card online or in-store (depending on the retailer). They can choose how and where to spend it on whatever matters most to them.
Gifteo makes it easy to deliver employee rewards with minimal overhead.

Whatever your role, Gifteo makes it easier to build a motivated, high‑performing workforce.
For HR Teams and Leadership
Gifteo offers a scalable way to reward and celebrate employee efforts across the business. It’s cost-effective, easy to manage, and helps you control spending with upfront credit purchasing. Companies also save money by getting gift cards at a discounted rate instead of paying the full retail price.
Plus, gift vouchers for employees in the UK can be more tax-efficient than traditional bonuses. This reduces employer National Insurance and pension liabilities when used within HMRC’s trivial benefits threshold (currently £50).
For Managers and Team Leads
Managers, department heads, and team leaders can reward staff quickly and appropriately. Gifteo makes it easy to show appreciation or boost morale. It’s ideal for team members going the extra mile or hitting targets. There’s no need to file requests – just a few clicks and it’s done.
For Remote & Hybrid Teams
When your staff aren’t all in the same building, you need a reward system that works wherever they are. Gifteo’s digital gift cards can be sent and spent from anywhere, so they’re ideal for remote and hybrid workforces. This helps keep teams connected and ensures nobody’s work or performance goes unnoticed.
