December means Christmas drinks, and at many Dutch offices that comes with a gift. Sometimes through a Secret Santa draw, sometimes as a small present for everyone.
Keep it light and shareable. Something you can open at the table and pass around works better than something that has to be taken home unopened.

For a Christmas gift to one colleague, 5 to 15 euros is normal. For a team gift you agree the budget together.
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.
Something festive and light: something tasty, a warm accessory, or a small game for the break room. Shareable gifts work well at the drinks.
Not always. Many teams do a Secret Santa draw instead, and plenty of offices do nothing at all. Ask before you buy for everyone.
Sinterklaas in early December is the traditional Dutch gift moment, often with a poem. Christmas gifts at work are usually simpler and less personal.
