It started with a forgotten farewell gift.
At four o'clock on a Friday afternoon, Fleur still had to arrange something for a colleague who was leaving on Monday. Another voucher. Another twinge of guilt.
She thought: surely this can be nicer? A colleague deserves more than an anonymous balance — something that fits. Something that makes you laugh, or that is genuinely useful. But who has time to find the perfect surprise between two meetings?
That is how Kantoorkado started. We do one thing and we do it well: help you find a gift that actually suits your colleague, in two minutes. You pick the occasion and the type of colleague, and we only show things worth your money. No endless webshop, no generic clutter. Just a smile.
We earn our keep through a small commission from bol.com and our partners. You never pay more, and we have no reason to push expensive things at you. In fact, we would rather remove a boring gift from the shop than add ten more.
The team
Small crew, large gift obsession. These are the people behind your next direct hit.
Fleur
Tastes, tests and approves every gift. If it does not get past Fleur, it does not make the shop. Her motto: better to say no ten times than to be boring once.
Jamel
Combs the internet for the odd, the clever and the rare. Practically lives on Kickstarter and always comes home with something strange.
Sanne
Tracks down the surprises nobody else finds. Digs through niche shops and small makers, and returns with the one gift your colleague never saw coming.
Joris
Responsible for the technical side and for keeping everything running smoothly under the bonnet. Built the Split tool and the group card, so chipping in together is painless.
What we believe
Special over plentiful
A short list of gems beats an endless pile of generic gifts. Every item has to add something.
Honest about money
We sell nothing ourselves. Bol and our partners deliver, we receive a small commission. You never pay extra.
Hassle removed
From choosing a gift to settling up together: sorted in a few clicks. Even when it has to be there tomorrow.
