Corporate gifting, minus the corporate.

Workplace gifting has a bad rep. Huggg is the fix: a UK gifting platform built for employee recognition, free to use, and trusted by 2,000+ UK companies. In-the-moment thank yous, long service, Christmas, the lot. Send an employee gift in minutes. No addresses. No admin. No drawer full of stuff nobody asked for.

How it works:

1. Pick a category, set your budget (they never see the price)
2. Add a note, pick a digital gift wrap, or add branding (optional)
3. Send it by link: Slack, Teams, email, SMS, anywhere you can paste a URL
4. They pick what they actually want from 10,000+ options across 200+ brands

Who's it for:

- HR and people teams. Build recognition programmes managers actually use. Set budgets, see what's been sent, watch the reactions roll in. All without asking a single person for their home address.

- Managers. Say thanks in the moment it happens, not in next year's review. Takes minutes. Costs nothing to start.
Office and ops. Christmas, new starter packs, leaving dos, sorted without the spreadsheet gymnastics. One account, one invoice, done.

- Sales and marketing. Client gifts and rewards that feel personal, not promotional. Turns out a gift with choice lands a bit better than a branded pen.

Why it actually works:

Most corporate gifting is built for the sender, not the person opening it. Merch that lives out its years in a drawer. Hampers full of tat. Gift cards for places nobody's shopped since 1983.

Huggg flips it. It's choice-led, so people browse and pick the thing they genuinely want, price hidden. It feels like a gift, not a line on a budget. And because it's just a link, no addresses, no postal delays, no chasing sizes and colours, it actually gets done. Because recognition that's easy to send is recognition that gets sent.

The bit finance will like:

Free to use. No platform fees, no per-send charge, no per-claim charge. You pay for the gift. That's the whole bill. Need more? Budget controls, manager permissions, VAT receipts, P11D-ready reporting and reaction tracking, all built for the people who have to explain the spend.

Good enough for Octopus Electric Vehicles, GoCardless, Starbucks, Wingstop UK, Dermalogica and 2,000+ other UK businesses. Over £300m in gifts sent so far.
