The easiest way to organise a group collection (without the hidden fees)

Whether you're planning a whip round for a colleague, a teacher thank-you gift  or a group present for a friend’s milestone birthday, you’ve probably found yourself wondering: how can I organise a group collection that’s simple, secure, and actually fee-free?

You’re in the right place.

At GiftRound, we believe that group gifting should feel good  not like a second job. That’s why we’ve created the UK’s only platform that lets you collect money online for a gift with zero fees, zero faff, just a beautifully simple way to organise a group gift.

‍

Group gifting without the guesswork

Gone are the days of passing an envelope around the office or school gates. With more of us working remotely or increasingly cashless, traditional whip rounds just don’t work the way they used to.

That’s where GiftRound’s digital group collection comes in. Whether it’s £5 from a few parents or £10 each from the team, every contribution adds up, fast. And because we’re proudly all gift,no fees, 100% of the money goes to the gift, not to us.

‍

What makes a GiftRound so useful?

When your collection is complete, the recipient gets a FlexCard, a versatile e-gift card they can spend at 95+ UK retailers, including:

John Lewis, Waitrose,M&S, Currys, Argos, ASOS, John Lewis, IKEA and many more

(Brands vary by region)

Perfect for end-of-term gifts, wedding group gifts, farewells, or baby shower group collections. It’s all about giving them something they’ll truly use and enjoy.

‍

Messages matter too

Every GiftRound includes a downloadable FREE group card filled with personal messages from contributors, something the recipient can keep forever. It turns a digital gift into a truly heartfelt moment.

‍

No Platform Fees. No Processing Fees. No Tip Prompts.

Unlike other platforms, we don’t take a cut or pressure contributors into leaving “optional” tips. Here’s what you get:

0% platform or processing fees

No surprise costs at any stage

100% of contributions go directly to the recipient
