5 gift ideas to give your staff on Saint Nicholas Day

The saying “On Saint Nicholas’s Day, bringing joy is the only way” doesn’t exist, but it might as well do. To mark this joyful celebration, giving gifts to your employees is an excellent initiative. Need a little inspiration? Here are 5 ideas to help you.

Idea number 1: the classic box of chocolates

To give your staff a nice treat, you don’t necessarily need to look for an original idea, you can also bank on the big classics that always go down well.

And during the festive period, people love to give chocolates. Choose to buy them from a local artisan chocolatier and put together some attractive bundles of treats. You can even mix things up by opting for an assortment of chocolates, sweetmeats and pastries.

And if you like being behind the stove, why not make the chocolates and other confectionery yourself, so that you can then give them to your staff?

It could take a little while, but they will certainly appreciate your gesture and the thought you’ve put into it. When it comes to recipes, you can find them in books but also online.

Idea number 2: cinema vouchers or gift boxes!

Make the most of our box office with attractive prices when you buy 10 tickets and up!

Give your colleagues cinema vouchers:

Cinema vouchers are cinema tickets that are valid for one your, that you can order directly from our online box office. You can attach a popcorn voucher to them (3.15€), a drink voucher (3.00€) or a bar voucher bar (7.50€ or 10€)

You will also be able to enjoy our technologies (3D, 4DX, LONG FILM, laser ultra, cosy seats, etc.) subject to an extra charge.

Give them gift boxes:

A gift that will allow them to enjoy one or more movies at the cinema, with a food & drink voucher depending on the type of box you’ve chosen. Valid for one year, several packages are available, depending on your desires and your budget.

In both of the 2 cases, you’ll be able to personalize the cinema tickets by adding your company’s name to them, for free, and by adding a short message: Happy Saint Nicholas Day! Give a magical gift during the festive season. On top of everything else, we make our own popcorn!

On Saint Nicholas Day, it’s a great idea to give cinema tickets!

A third idea for a corporate Saint Nicholas Day gift: a party!

And why not organise a party for Saint Nicholas Day, to enable your staff to unwind, have a dance and a sing-song and enjoy themselves?

Haven’t got a venue? No need to panic!

To organise your “party”, Kinepolis offers you the opportunity to rent cinema auditoriums and reception spaces with various capacities. Be aware that you can hire the cinema auditorium separately from the reception space, and vice-versa.

When it comes to the agenda, we propose that you combine a breakfast or tea with a private screening and entertainment.

If you prefer a glittering evening do, we can arrange a memorable party with aperitifs or a sit-down meal, MCs for the evening and musical entertainment (DJ or band).

To make this Saint Nicholas Day evening even more memorable, offer games or even a Secret Santa (organised well in advance so that everyone brings their gift to the party). The goal? To have a wonderful time together.

Idea number 4: a memorable experience

Do you know all about your employees’ tastes? Perhaps Sara adores strong sensations, whilst Roger is passionate about classical music? For Saint Nicholas Day, give your staff a memorable experience.

For Roger (and others of course), contact Kinepolis Business so that you can offer him a private screening of an opera. Our programmes can be live-streamed (by satellite) or rebroadcast on request, depending on your wishes.

There is no shortage of ideas for unforgettable experiences. Make sure you check what your employees like to do, so that you can ensure the experience offered corresponds with their tastes. You don’t want to offer a parachute-jumping experience to someone with vertigo, for example!

Idea number 5: an ecological gift

The end-of-year festivities are synonymous with lots of shopping, plentiful meals (and, regrettably, some food waste) and other things besides, but it is also possible to make them a time when ecology is the watchword.

As a corporate Saint Nicholas Day gift, you can certainly give your staff an ecological, ethical gift. Contact local businesses or even charities (some of them allow you to sponsor animals), and choose products that are sustainable, eco-designed or bio-designed.

The idea is to bring joy without veering into over-consumption, but also to set an example to your staff.

If they have children and/or grandchildren, you could include them, with a bag of locally-made chocolates, for instance. The little ones will be delighted with their gift (and they’ll soon devour it).

Would you like to celebrate Saint Nicholas Day with your staff? Why not rent one of the cinema auditoriums at Kinepolis to mark the occasion? You can find our range of offers online and get in touch with us for more information.
