Why GiftRound is the best group gifting platform for new parents

‍How one gift made a whole team cry: why GiftRound is the best group gifting platform for new parents

When a colleague is about to go on maternity or paternity leave, we often feel the same thing: we want to give a gift that really means something. Something that says we’re excited for you, we’re proud of you, and we’ve got your back for the sleepless nights ahead.

Recently, one workplace did exactly that with GiftRound and the result…one gift, one new baby, one team with happy tears.

This is the power of thoughtful group gifting and the reason more teams, families and friends are choosing GiftRound, the fee-free way to create meaningful collections that genuinely support new parents.

It started with a simple idea: “Let’s all chip in for something really special.”

And ends with no duplicate baby grows, no guesswork, no awkward coordinating hybrid work schedules.Just one shared space where everyone in the team could add a message of love and support and chip in whatever they wanted. Together, the team created a gift perfectly suited to their colleague’s growing family.

Why group gifting for new babies works so well

Supporting new parents shouldn’t be stressful. With fee-free group gifting, it becomes:

Thoughtful
Instead of guessing what the baby already has, parents can choose gifts that suit their needs whether that’s cosy babywear, a meal delivery service, nursery essentials, new carseats or something to make their home life smoother.

Practical
No more drawers overflowing with unused baby items all in the same outgrown size. Group gifting lets parents buy what they’ll actually use.

Flexible
Life with a newborn is unpredictable. GiftRound’s FlexCard  gives parents the freedom to choose when, where and how to spend it.

Meaningful
Every message and contribution becomes part of a shared story something parents will remember long after the sleepless nights have passed.

“Welcome to parenthood: you’ve got this, and we’ve got you.”

Group gifting shines brightest when people want to come together:

Baby showers
No duplicated gifts. No overwhelm. Just one seamless FlexCard from everyone who cares.

Workplace maternity or paternity leave gifts
Easy to organise, inclusive for the whole team and a meaningful way to show support.

Family gifting
Bring grandparents, siblings, cousins and friends together in one place.
