The office whip-round, done properly

If you're the office manager, you already know how this goes: a card gets carried desk to desk, someone's out when you need their signature, and a cash envelope goes missing somewhere between finance and the kitchen. A group gift collection replaces all of it with one shared link. Everyone adds their message and their contribution from wherever they're working, the money is handled online, and it's ready long before you'd have finished chasing the paper version.

The whip-round, reinvented

Collecting for a leaving gift or a big birthday, minus the cash tin. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

1

Add a pot to the card

Create the group card as normal, then add a Gift Collection Pot beside it. Setting it up costs you nothing.

No upfront cost to you
2

Share one link

Drop it in an email, a team channel or a WhatsApp group. Anyone who has the link can open it and join in.

No account to sign up for
3

Everyone signs and chips in

People add a message and contribute whatever feels right. Amounts stay private, nobody can see who gave what, not even you.

Paid by card, no cash
4

It arrives as one gift

Send it now or schedule it for the day. The recipient gets the card plus a smart eGift card loaded with the total, to spend across 200+ retailers.

Nothing to count or bank

Things you can finally stop doing

All the little jobs a whip-round quietly dumps on the office manager, gone.

  • Rattling a cash tin round the building
  • Chasing the one team that never replies to the envelope
  • Keeping a tally of who has and hasn't paid
  • Leaving out whoever's remote or off that week
  • Fronting the shortfall out of your own pocket
  • Working out who owes what when it comes up short

Award-winning, too: ExpressWithACard was named Digital Greetings Card Platform of the Year 2026/27 by the Prestige Awards.

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know

Use a Group Gift Collection alongside the card. Everyone contributes online, whatever they like, and the total is loaded onto a smart eGift card the recipient can spend across 200+ retailers, all delivered with the card in one email.

There is no upfront cost to the organiser to add a pot. A small minimum applies per contribution to cover the payment processing fee, and each contributor covers that fee on top of their amount, so the recipient still gets the full amount the group intended to give.

No. Contribution amounts are private, nobody can see who gave what. As the organiser you can see the total collected and how many people took part, but not individual amounts.

There's no target to hit, the recipient simply gets whatever the group pools together. If the pot is empty when it's time to send, it goes out as a lovely group card full of messages, with no gift card attached.

No. Anyone with the link can add a message or make a contribution straight away, with nothing to install or sign up for.

Yes. All contributions are processed securely through Stripe, and card details are never stored on our servers. If plans change, the organiser can cancel before sending and everyone is automatically refunded.

Yes. One link works for everyone, whatever building, floor or location they're in, including remote and hybrid colleagues.

Yes. Set the card up as soon as you know the date and choose exactly when it should be delivered.

You can set up a brand kit with your company logo and colours and apply it to the cards you send. And no, there's no subscription, you pay only for the cards and gifts you send. See our pricing page for current rates.
