At the team table
The year-end dinner or the last meeting. You hand out the books and it happens right there, together. This is the one that changes how the room feels.
One book per table is enough, but one each is a gift they take home.
Corporate gifts
You are not giving a book. You are giving presence.
Not another bottle. A book that makes a table talk: everyone writes to someone and reads it out loud. Twenty minutes with the people who matter to them, and the words stay.
From 20 copies, with your logo. We deliver everything to one address.
The honest part
You already know what happened to last year’s gift.
The bottle got drunk on a Tuesday. The mug is in a cupboard. The gift card expired. Nobody remembers who signed the card, and the person who chose it spent weeks on it.
It is not a lack of budget. It is that things compete with other things, and lose.
What we would give instead
Presence. And a reason to be present.
What people remember from a year is not what they were given. It is the evening someone told them something they had never said out loud.
That does not happen on its own. It needs a reason, a moment and something on the table that gives everyone permission to speak.
What it is
A book that gets taken apart
Wichteln with Words is a printed game. Everyone at the table draws a name, writes a short letter to that person, cuts it out of the book and folds it. Then the letters are read out loud, and the table guesses who each one is for.
It takes twenty minutes. It works with four people or with twenty four. There are 24 letters in each book, so the leftover ones stay for another day.
It comes out as yours, not as ours
Your logo
On the front and on the back. Nothing else moves.
Your color
Instead of our yellow. The book on the table looks like it came from you, because it did.
The rest stays
Same game, same pages, and katalais.com/gifts on the back. Keeping it simple is what keeps it quick and keeps the price where it is.
Two ways to give it
At home, with their people
One book per person, to take home. The message writes itself: this year we are giving you an unforgettable moment with your family and the people you love.
You ship them or hand them out. We deliver everything to one address.
How it works
1

2
We make it yours
Your logo and your color, on the front and the back. You see a proof before anything is printed.
3
It gets printed and delivered
Two to three weeks from the moment you approve the proof. It is printed in Europe and everything arrives at one address, ready to hand out.
4
You give it
With two minutes of your own words. We send you a page with what to say and how to set the table, so nobody has to improvise.

Fewer than 20 copies? The standard edition is on Amazon at its list price. For teams outside Germany, ask us and we will quote the shipping. The company edition is 23 × 18 cm, slightly larger than the one on Amazon, because that is the landscape format our printer runs.
Ordering for a team?
From 5 copies, or from 20 with your logo and your colors. Tell us what you need and we will come back with a price.
Questions
Is it a Christmas gift?
It is a winter gift, on purpose. There is no Santa hat and no religion in it, so it works for a team where people celebrate different things, or nothing.
What is the minimum?
20 copies for the customized edition. Below that, the standard edition is on Amazon.
Can we mix German and English?
Yes. They are two editions of the same game, and one order can have both.
Who ships it to the team?
You do. We deliver the whole order to one address, and you hand them out at the dinner or send them to people’s homes. That way you decide the moment.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from the moment you approve the proof: a few days of printing in Europe, then delivery. For December, tell us by the middle of November.
How big is it?
23 × 18 cm, landscape, 56 pages, 24 letters to cut out. The company edition is slightly larger than the one on Amazon, because that is the landscape format our printer runs.
Our team works remotely.
Then send the books to their homes. The letters get written at their own table, with their own people, which is the part that stays.
Can we see one first?
Yes. Ask for a sample copy in the form and we will tell you how to get one.
Presence is the only thing nobody has enough of.
