The Perfect Christmas Gift for Employees in 2026: Corporate Gift Cards with VAT Invoices

Every year, HR teams and business owners face the same challenge: how to delight their employees for Christmas without breaking the budget, underestimating their needs, or risking the gift going unused. The universal answer that works for both a small team of five and a company of a hundred is a gift card—issued with an invoice to the company.

Why a Gift Card is the Best Gift for Employees

A gift card solves the biggest problem of any corporate gift: pleasing everyone on the team’s tastes and sizes. You don’t need to know your colleague’s style, whether they wear M or XL, or whether they prefer classic or something bolder. The recipient chooses for themselves—something from the ready-made collection, a custom-made model, or a suit tailored to their personal measurements.

For the company, this means several more clear advantages:

• It can be given immediately by email, with a code and link to the gift card—no logistics, no courier headaches, and no stock to manage.
• Each employee can receive a different value within a single order—convenient when the team has varying levels of seniority or rank.
• The gift card is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, so no one feels pressured to spend the amount right away.
• It is sent directly to each recipient by email, and they can add it to their Apple Wallet with a single tap.

One Gift Card, Three Ways to Use It

This is also its strongest argument: a single gift card opens up the entire world of Roberto. The recipient decides how to use it. There is a ready-made selection for women and men from established brands and Roberto&Co’s own brand—view the full catalog to see the range. They can order a specific model in their desired size and color. Or they can opt for made-to-measure tailoring—the service that sets Roberto apart from average competitors.

The gift card is valid both online and in our stores in Velingrad—including for made-to-measure tailoring, where you can choose from over 600 fabrics, 150 types of buttons, and even embroidered initials. A custom-made men’s suit or jacket takes 2–3 weeks to produce, and the consultation is free and carries no obligation to purchase.

An Invoice to the Company—A Gift That Can Be Properly Accounted For

For any company’s accounting department, it is important that a gift does not bring surprises at the end of the year. A corporate order at Roberto is processed with an invoice to the company and payment by bank transfer. When placing the order, the company’s details are entered—name, company registration number or VAT number, contact person, phone number, and email for the invoice—so that the document can be issued correctly.

In 2026, many businesses are rethinking their expenses in light of new tax rules on excess profits and are looking for ways to keep funds within the company through meaningful, deductible investments. A corporate gift for employees is exactly that kind of expense—a real investment in the team that is processed with a regular invoice and has a clear paper trail. An important note: the specific tax regime and the deductibility of the expense depend on your situation, so it is best to consult your accountant—we provide the correct documents, and they determine how to record them.

How to Place a Corporate Order

The process is quick and does not require complex negotiations. On the gift card page, there is a separate “For Companies” section where you can submit a request for a corporate order: company name, company registration number or VAT number, contact person, phone number, number of gift cards, gift card value in euros, email for the invoice, and notes regarding the occasion, different values, and the desired date.

If you prefer to speak directly, you can write to shop@roberto.bg or call +359 892 030 004. The stores in Velingrad are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

How to Choose the Gift Value

The gift card is available in set values of 50, 100, 150, 250, and 500 euros, and if desired, a custom amount can be entered—from 10 to 1,000 euros in increments of 10. It is practical to think about what you want to give: 50 euros covers an accessory or a T-shirt, 100–150 euros is enough for a sweater or a set, and over 250 euros opens the door to a coat, leather jacket, or made-to-measure suit.

If you are unsure, stick with a universal value and let the employee enjoy choosing for themselves. It is this choice that turns a work gift into a personal gesture—and that is the difference between a gift that is forgotten and one that is remembered.

Why Roberto

Roberto has worked with natural materials since 1999 and curates a collection for women and men who value quality, fabric, and silhouette. The store in Velingrad is also a physical location where the employee can try on clothes, feel the fabrics, and receive a personal consultation—something an online gift can rarely offer.

If you want a gift for the team that is practical, personal, and correct from an accounting perspective, explore the corporate gift cards and give them the gift of choice. For delivery, returns, and ordering methods, the answers can be found on the frequently asked questions page.
