The smart eGift card is an all-in-one digital gift card that gives the recipient the freedom to choose where to spend their gift. Instead of being locked into a single retailer, they can browse over 200 participating brands and select a gift from any of them, or even split the balance across multiple stores.
The smart eGift card covers over 200 popular retailers across a wide range of categories, including clothing, dining, homeware, beauty, tech, leisure, and experiences. The recipient simply picks the brand they want at the time of redemption, ensuring the gift always feels personal and useful. The full list of participating brands is available above on this page.

This makes the smart eGift card far more flexible than a traditional single-brand gift card, perfect whether they have something specific in mind or want to spread it across a few treats.
Smart eGift cards are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. The recipient will see the expiry date clearly when they receive their gift, giving them plenty of time to redeem it with the retailer of their choice.
Each contributor covers a small processing fee on top of their chosen contribution amount. This ensures the recipient receives the full amount the group intended to give, so none of the pot is eaten up by fees.

The pot simply collects whatever the group contributes; there's no target to hit. This keeps things relaxed and removes any pressure on contributors. The recipient gets whatever the group pools together.
If the pot has a zero balance when the time comes to send, no smart eGift card is included and it is delivered as a standard group card. You can still send a wonderful card full of heartfelt messages.
Gift Collection Pots currently support GBP (£), with USD and EUR coming soon. The smart eGift card value is delivered in the currency the pot was collected in. Check our pricing page for the latest information on supported currencies.
