What shall we give our team for Christmas?
Every year in November, the same question crops up in many companies. It usually ends up with someone who’s already got their hands full. So they often end up choosing something that’s quick to order: chocolate, a pen with a logo, a bottle of wine. It’s all well-intentioned. But by February, hardly anyone remembers it.
Yet the answer is often closer than you might think. After a hectic year, most people want one thing above all else: time when nobody is asking anything of them.
Why an experience lasts longer than an object
A gift is meaningful when it suits the person. With a team of twenty, fifty or two hundred people, that’s almost impossible. One person doesn’t drink wine, whilst another already has three thermos flasks. Wellness vouchers get round this problem. They don’t say, ‘We’ve chosen this for you’, but rather, ‘Take some time for yourself, whenever and however suits you’.
Added to this is something that is easily underestimated: an experience becomes associated with the person who gave it. Anyone lying in warm water on a grey January evening, switching off, will also be thinking of the company that made that evening possible. A ballpoint pen rarely achieves that.
An evening at the Hürlimannbad
The Hürlimannbad Zürich shows just what an evening like this can be like. You bathe beneath the old vaults of the former Hürlimann brewery. The lighting is subdued, and the sounds of the city remain outside. Up on the roof, the view stretches out over the rooftops of Zurich – a particularly special moment, especially during the colder months.
If you have a bit more time to spare, treat yourself to the Roman-Irish spa ritual, which guides you step by step through warmth, water and tranquillity. Or a massage. And afterwards, rather than heading straight back to your laptop, you can relax on your way home.
For teams in Zurich, this is a gift that can be redeemed with minimal effort: after work, on a free afternoon or at the weekend. Your staff can book their admissions online and pay for them directly using the Vouchers.
Which voucher is right for whom?
Not every gift has to look the same. At Aqua Spa Resorts, there are three types to choose from, which you can also combine.
The Relax Card is the most flexible solution for the whole team. You set the amount, and the recipient decides how to use it: for admission, a massage or a full day at the spa. The Relax Card is valid at all six spas, from the Hammam Bern to the Mineral bath on the Rigi and the Termali Salini Locarno. This is handy if your team works outside Zurich as well.
Experience vouchers are ideal if you’d like to give someone a specific gift, such as the spa ritual at the Hürlimannbad. They’re personal thank-you notes for customers or partners with whom you’ve had a good year.
An admission voucher is the simplest option if you want to say thank you to a larger group without having to spend a lot of money.
This makes ordering easy
A good corporate gift shouldn’t become an extra chore. That’s why all it takes is a single enquiry. Simply use the form on our company website to tell us how many Vouchers you need, who they’re for and by when you need them. Within two working days, you’ll receive a personalised quote; for orders of 20 Vouchers or more, we offer corporate rates. Once you’ve confirmed your order, the Vouchers will be sent by post or as a PDF for you to print out, and payment can be made on account. For smaller quantities, please order directly from our Voucher shop.
And because we don’t want anyone to feel under pressure: all Vouchers are valid for 10 years. If you don’t have time in January, you can simply go in the spring or next winter.
Just in time for Christmas
If the gift is to be placed under the Christmas tree or at the team dinner, it’s worth enquiring early. It’s best to plan larger orders by Friday 11 December. You can find full details on order deadlines, delivery and terms and conditions on our company website.
