💐 A thank-you for a colleague
Sometimes there is nothing to celebrate and you just want to say thank you. Someone covered your work during a busy week, or thought along when you were stuck.
Exactly because there is no occasion, a small gesture lands hard. Keep it modest: the point is being noticed, not the amount.
Part of our guide gift for a colleague: the complete guide.
How much do you spend?
For a spontaneous thank-you, 2 to 10 euros is plenty. It is the gesture that counts, not the price.
All the usual amounts per occasion are in the gift etiquette. Chipping in without the hassle? Start a gift moment or use the Split tool.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good thank-you gift for a colleague?
Something small and immediate: good coffee, something tasty at their desk, or a handwritten card. Modest works better than grand here.
Is a thank-you gift normal at Dutch offices?
Yes, and it is appreciated precisely because it is unexpected. Keep it small so it does not create an obligation to give something back.
Card or gift?
Both work, and together they work best. A specific line about what someone did for you is often remembered longer than the gift itself.
