High-quality employee gifts and corporate equipment: show appreciation in your company look

Meaningful employee gifts that make everyday working life more enjoyable

What makes a truly great employee gift? It is about the feeling—genuine appreciation. Employee gifts should say: you belong with us, and we invest in your everyday working life. Motivating employee gifts from SIGEL do exactly that, becoming a statement for both your brand and your employees.

What truly meaningful employee gifts are all about:

• Belonging: A consistent look connects your team—in the office, when working from home and at trade fairs. When your team enjoys using and showing products in your corporate design, it strengthens the sense of togetherness. An appreciation gift becomes an expression of identification with the company.
• Practical value: From a Desk Sharing Bag and a roll-up desk mat to a premium notebook, every product is an everyday companion that makes working life noticeably easier.
• Design: Precise corporate colours, a refined finish and well-considered shapes ensure that your company merchandise stands out at every customer appointment, meeting and desk.
• Quality: Premium materials and careful workmanship ensure that your employee gifts last a long time and still look as good as new after months of use.

For technology and transport: Office Bags, Desk Sharing Bags and laptop cases

Your team is on the move—between the office and home office, on the way to a customer appointment or the next trade fair. They need companions that combine functionality and company pride while looking great:

• Desk Sharing Bags: available from the premium water-repellent version and the stylish two-tone range to the basic felt bag made from 100% recycled PET—also in size L for laptops up to 17.3 inches

• Workspace Bags: the innovative 2-in-1 concept combining a bag and a compact workspace with privacy screen—ideal for train journeys, co-working spaces and anywhere space is limited

• Laptop sleeves and cases: with reliable protection for your most important work device; the cases also feature a practical stand function for ergonomic working anywhere

• Bag organisers: available in a practical set of two, so charging cables, pens and business cards always have their designated place

For the desk: desk mats and mouse pads

The desk is home during the working day, and the right desk essentials make it a stage for your branding too. Whether in the office, at home or at a flexible shared desk, these products turn every workstation into a brand touchpoint:

• Roll-up felt desk mats: designed for mobile working and desk sharing; compact to roll up, ready to unroll and use in seconds, and suitable for all mouse types

• Mouse pads in your corporate design: designed as a functional work surface with brand impact, in premium quality and tailored precisely to your company design

For thoughts and plans: notebooks and calendars

Some ideas need paper. Premium notebooks and calendars accompany people through meetings, make an impression at every customer appointment and showcase your branding every day. Here is an overview of the ranges:

• Linescape Sun notebooks: in A5 format, with subtle colour accents such as a pen loop and elastic closure—perfect for ideas, notes and project planning

• Linescape Sun calendars: available in three colours, for smart time planning and maximum brand visibility throughout the year

• Re-Up notebooks: NCP vegan-certified, available in six contemporary colours and made from residual materials such as coffee bean husks or tea fibres

Budget, taxes and more: what to consider for employee gifts

You want to give your team something premium, but first the budget needs to work and the tax authorities need to be on board. The good news is that many SIGEL products—such as notebooks, calendars, mouse pads, bag organisers and laptop sleeves—comfortably fall within the tax-exempt limits. Premium Desk Sharing Bags also offer options that can qualify as benefits in kind or small tokens of appreciation thanks to attractive volume pricing.

Note: Tax information is provided without guarantee. Please consult your tax adviser for advice specific to your situation.

The key rules at a glance:

• €50 monthly exemption threshold for benefits in kind: Non-cash benefits for employees remain exempt from tax and social-security contributions up to a gross value of €50 per month. This limit applies per month and per employee. If it is exceeded by even one cent, the full amount becomes taxable. Important: this is an exemption threshold, not an allowance.
• €60 for personal occasions: In addition to the monthly exemption threshold for benefits in kind, small gifts for personal occasions—such as a birthday, wedding, birth of a child or anniversary—remain tax-exempt up to a gross value of €60 per occasion. If an employee has both a birthday and a work anniversary in one month, two gifts of €60 each may be given.
• Within the benefit-in-kind exemption threshold (up to €50 per month): The gift remains entirely exempt from tax and social-security contributions for both employer and employee.
• Small gifts for personal occasions (up to €60): These are also tax-exempt, provided there is a specific personal occasion and the €60 limit is observed.
• Above the exemption thresholds: If an exemption threshold is exceeded, the entire amount is subject to wage tax and social-security contributions. Alternatively, the employer may assume a flat-rate tax of 30 per cent under Section 37b of the German Income Tax Act, leaving the gift tax-free for the employee.
• Tip for HR and procurement: Document the occasion, recipient and gross value for every gift. Especially for small gifts on personal occasions, allocating the gift to the specific event is crucial to tax exemption.

Here is how the process works:

1. Choose your products: Browse our portfolio and find the products that suit your team and the way you work. A Desk Sharing Bag for a mobile team? A notebook for the creative department? A roll-up desk mat for a desk-sharing floor? Select your favourites and corporate colours, or let us advise you personally.
2. Customise your logo and colours: Send us your company logo as vector artwork (.ai, .eps or a print-ready .pdf). Our service team will create a digital print layout showing the precise positioning. Production only begins once you have approved it. With Desk Sharing Bags, you can also choose custom colours—giving you full control over the look.
3. Receive your company merchandise: Your premium branded merchandise will be delivered directly to your office. Standard delivery takes approximately 15 working days after print approval. Orders start from 25 units for bags and accessories, or 50 units for notebooks and calendars.

Create premium employee gifts in your own brand look

With SIGEL, appreciation becomes a gift your team will enjoy using every day. Whether it is a Desk Sharing Bag, laptop sleeve, desk mat, notebook or calendar, every product can be customised to match your corporate design and keep your brand visible throughout the working day. The result is company merchandise that is practical, looks great and creates a genuine sense of belonging.
