No. 2Hat Box Treat Gift
Nestlé chocolates in a hat box, four sizes, and it can sit on a desk without anyone having to find a vase. The larger sizes stretch to a team rather than one person, which is usually what December needs.
Skip it if half the team is off sugar over the holidays.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 3Classic Bon Appetit Hamper
Nougat, chocolate, biltong, dried fruit and a bottle of wine, sized small through large, with a message added at checkout. Enough of a gift for a manager or a client without looking like an attempt at anything.
Skip it if the office does not do alcohol or the recipient does not drink.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 4La Motte Millenium and Lindt Gift
Bottle of La Motte Millennium with a Lindt slab, the size of gift you can hand to several people without it becoming a project. Giftbox versions make it look considered when it is opened at a desk.
Not for a colleague who does not drink or would rather not be given wine.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 5Snack Attack
Halaal-certified snacks, both sweet and savoury, in four sizes. The certification is the reason to choose this one for a mixed office, since it takes one worry off the list.
Skip it if there are allergies you have not checked with anyone.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 6Nuts About Nuts Crate
A hand-packed wooden box holds nougat, Ferrero Rocher, brittle and Montagu snacks in three sizes. The reusable box suits someone who likes sweet and savoury nibbles.
Skip it if they have a nut allergy.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 7Ultimate Nuts About Chocolate Snack Crate
Nuts and sweet bites laid out in a wooden divider box, with a biltong version if the office leans savoury. Presentation is the point: it looks like more than a box of snacks when it is handed over.
Skip it if nut allergies are a known issue on the team.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 8Personalised Parker Script Mate Pen
Parker Jotter in blue, personalised, presented in a black gift box, and there is a version with a notebook. Safe for a colleague at any level, since a pen carries no message beyond the name on it.
Skip it if they never write anything by hand any more.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 9Personalised Biltong Cutter
Engraved with their name, this is a wooden board for cutting biltong and a gift that will outlast the job. Personal without being intimate, which is a narrow line to walk at work.
Not for a colleague who does not eat meat.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 10Chateau Gateaux Chocolate Nostalgia Cake
Chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse, biscuit crumble and dark chocolate ganache gives them something to share. It contains wheat, gluten, milk, nuts and eggs, so check those allergens before ordering.
Skip it if they avoid the listed allergens.
Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban only; confirm arrival at NetFlorist
No. 11Personalised Classic A5 Notebook
Hardcover A5 notebook with their name on it, in black, blue or pink, or as a set of three. The plainest of the personalised gifts here, which is exactly why it works across a whole team.
Skip it if you would have to guess at the spelling of their name.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 12Fruity Nuts Assorted Wooden Crate
Turkish apricots, mixed tree nuts and roasted nuts in a wooden crate, with a biltong version too. Dried fruit gives people something to eat that is not another slab of chocolate in December.
Skip it if anyone who will share it has a nut allergy.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 13Floral Scarf with Charlotte Rhys Hamper
Scarf with a candle and Charlotte Rhys soap, which is a personal sort of gift to give at work. Reserve it for a colleague you actually know, not the whole floor.
Skip it if you are buying for a group rather than one person.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 14Johnnie Walker Man Crate
Whisky in a crate with savoury snacks packed around it, in Standard, Double Black or Gold. This is the big gesture on the page, so keep it for a boss or a client rather than a desk neighbour.
Skip it if a gift this size would put your colleague in an awkward position.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 15Munch Mania
Ferrero Rocher, Wedgewood biscuits and roasted nuts, four sizes, nothing that needs cutlery or a fridge. Lands well in an office kitchen where it gets opened and finished the same afternoon.
Skip it if someone in the office reacts to nuts.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 16Bro Got the Munchies Bucket
Oreos, droëwors, peanuts and Nestlé chocolate make a casual bucket of snacks to share. The mix suits a relaxed gathering where people can graze.
Skip it if anyone sharing it avoids meat or nuts.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 17Biltong & Wine Bro Bucket
Droëwors, a small bottle of Beyerskloof Pinotage, Montagu nuts and Pringles in a bucket. Aimed squarely at one person rather than a team, so it suits the colleague you drew in a Secret Santa.
Skip it if they are vegetarian or the office has a no-alcohol rule.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 18Golden Treat Crate
Ferrero Rocher, peanut brittle and Montagu roasted nuts in a crate, in four sizes. Made for sharing, so it suits a household rather than one person on their own.
Skip it if anyone there cannot eat nuts.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 19Gold Box of Pongracz
Pongrácz Cap Classique with three Ferrero Rocher in a gold box, which reads as a year-end thank you rather than a Christmas trinket. Good for a colleague who has carried something heavy this year.
Skip it if they do not drink or the gift is being opened in the office.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 20Large Chocolate Filled Hatbox
Chocolate in a hatbox again, this time the larger selection, in standard, medium and large. The one to send when the gift is going to a whole office and needs to go round properly.
Skip it if the team is small and it would sit half-eaten for weeks.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 21Biltong and Chocs Treat Box
Biltong, droëwors and a Lindt slab in a small box that takes a printed message. The right size for a colleague you like but do not know well, where anything bigger would be awkward.
Not for a vegetarian colleague or anyone who avoids red meat.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 22Black Box of Rothschild
Red wine in a black gift box, with a version that adds sixteen Ferrero Rocher. Rupert & Rothschild Classique rather than a bubbly, which covers the wine drinker who never orders sparkling.
Skip it if they drink white and red sits in the rack untouched.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 23Red Snack Hamper
Snacks in a red hamper, three assortments, red enough to read as Christmas without any tinsel on it. Sensible for a colleague working remotely, since it needs nothing at the other end.
Skip it if you want the gift to be about them rather than about food.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 24My Best Friend Duo
Wine with savoury and sweet snacks in a large box, put together for sharing. Works as a gift to a team or a department, where one bottle for one person would look pointed.
Skip it if the office is dry or several of the team do not drink.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address

How to choose a gift for colleagues
Prices on this page run from R200–300 to R1 000–2 000; 6 of the 24 picks are under R300 and 1 are R1 000 or more. This list leans towards things to eat and hampers and crates. 23 of them deliver nationwide; the rest are metro-only, and the retailer page shows the next delivery date for your area. Start from the price band you have in mind, then read the note under each pick: it says who the thing is really for and who should skip it. Where a pick is filed for colleagues by the retailer itself we say so; where a page borrows from a neighbouring list we say that too.
Where this list comes from: we read NetFlorist's whole catalogue, keep only what it files for colleagues itself (Mixed flowers, Chocolate & Nougat, Gourmet among the categories here), rank by where NetFlorist places each item, what its buyers have said and how the price sits, and write our own note on who it suits and who should skip it. We have not handled these products and do not say we have. Commission never touches the order. Price bands come from NetFlorist's prices on 7 September 2026; the retailer page is the truth on the day. The full method.
