Gifts for employees fail when they feel like payroll admin. A FlyKube surprise trip changes that conversation: it is a company gift for employees with flights and hotel included, from 109 EUR per person, destination revealed 48 hours before departure and more than 100 European destinations. The employee picks dates. You pick the budget and the story (recognition, tenure, onboarding or year-end). More than 250,000 travelers have flown with FlyKube since 2017. Trustpilot: 4.2/5 with over 2,300 reviews.
Why HR chooses a trip over an object
The mug, the backpack and the shopping-centre gift card are forgotten. The trip is talked about at home and in Monday's meeting. The recipient links the gesture to the company, not to the merchandising supplier. You do not need sizes, allergies or a warehouse. You deliver a code or an email and FlyKube runs the operations.
This format fits recognition policies that want one criterion for the whole workforce and a predictable cost per person. From the corporate gifts hub you can combine it with incentives or a Christmas order without changing the product.
How the employee experiences it
The employee does not organize flights or compare hotels. They enter departure city, dates and whether they travel with someone. FlyKube books the surprise trip and reveals the destination 48 hours before. If you prefer total calendar freedom, the surprise trip gift card is valid 36 months. Nobody is forced to match the December bank holiday or August holidays.
- Quarterly or annual recognition with a public criterion.
- Onboarding for hard-to-retain profiles in the first six months.
- Tenure milestones (1, 5, 10 years) without a display-case watch.
- Team detail after a workload peak, launch or audit.
Workplace fit and internal comms
The trip is not a mandatory offsite. It is a personal gift the employee uses when shifts, on-call rotas or school terms allow. That reduces friction with line managers: you do not lose half the workforce the same Friday. Comms can be an all-hands announcement, a manager email or a letter on the contract anniversary. If you want a group activity the same weekend, see company team building.
For clients the story is different: loyalty, not internal recognition. That page is gifts for clients. If you come from physical boxes, FlyKube vs Smartbox summarizes why an operated trip avoids the employee picking "what is left" in a catalogue.
Budget, invoice and scale
Prices start at 109 EUR per person. Finance sees a cost per head. Procurement receives an invoice in the company name (Kube Ecosystem SL, Barcelona). You can start with a pilot (one department, an internal contest) and repeat when the story works. Codes do not expire in three months: 36-month validity avoids the classic "use it before Epiphany".
More than 100 destinations cover different tastes without HR guessing beach vs city. The 48-hour reveal keeps excitement and leaves time to pack. If your brief is year-end, cross-check this page with year-end gifts for employees or company anniversary.
How to get started
Fill in the form with number of employees, occasion and budget per person. The business team replies with a fixed proposal. You can also email business@flykube.com. We do not invent a retention ROI: the argument is simpler. The employee remembers who gave them the trip. That is what an object almost never achieves.
