Employee Gifts and Team Catering

Gifts for a team in Israel — chag boxes for everyone, or a catered breakfast that lands on the office table.

About Employee Gifts and Team Catering

Employee gifting in Israel is concentrated in two weeks a year, before Rosh Hashana and before Pesach, and it is judged on whether the gift is something a person actually wants to carry home on the bus. A well-chosen chocolate or food box passes that test; a branded object generally does not.

The other half of this page is the shared version: a catered breakfast or lunch for the whole floor, which costs less per head and gets remembered longer than an individual gift. Order the same item across a team, choose the delivery date at checkout so it lands before the chag rather than during it, and check the store's kashrut so every member of the team can eat it.

What people usually send

  • A chag gift box, ordered once per employee
  • A catered breakfast or lunch for the office
  • Platters for a team milestone or a farewell
  • Chocolate boxes for a smaller team
