Giffy vs Stegman

Short answer: Giffy and Stegman both serve the corporate gifts market, but in fundamentally different ways. Giffy is a fully digital rewards platform: the recipient chooses from 300+ brands themselves, WKR reporting is built-in and there are no platform fees. Stegman is a gift specialist from Schagen (since 1992) offering Christmas hampers, gift packages and the online choice concept 'PersoonlijkeNoot', where employees choose from a range curated by the employer. If you want digital freedom of choice and scale, Giffy is built for that. If you are looking for tangible, curated gifts with an unboxing experience, Stegman is a strong choice.
