About GiftRound
Written by the company
All gift, no fees. Just simple, fair, joyful group gifting with GiftRound.
Organising a group gift used to mean chasing people for cash, juggling bank details and trying to keep track of who’d contributed. GiftRound was created to change that. We’re a UK-based online platform that makes it easy for friends, families, colleagues and school communities to come together, collect for a gift and celebrate someone special – without any of the hassle.
With GiftRound, you can set up a collection in minutes, share a secure link and watch the messages and contributions roll in. Contributors don’t need an account or an app – they can chip in quickly, leave a personal message and even add a photo or GIF, all in a few clicks. Every collection includes a free online group card that can be downloaded as a PDF, so the recipient can keep all those kind words forever.
When it’s time to spend the collection, the recipient receives a GiftRound FlexCard which can be used at 95+ well-loved UK retailers, including M&S, John Lewis, Currys and more. And when we say free, we really mean it: there are no set-up charges, no transaction fees and no sneaky “service” tips. Every penny goes to the person you’re celebrating. GiftRound is funded through small commissions from retail partners – never from your generosity.
Whether you’re organising a retirement gift, a teacher thank you, a new baby collection or a big team send-off, GiftRound helps you celebrate together and show you care – with zero hassle and all heart.
Simple, fair, joyful group gifting.

Easy and effective
Found it tricky working out how to get back into my giftround collection after it had closed to generate the pdf of messages and voucher.
Frustrated that the system wouldn't acknowledge and use the apostrophe needed for the collection's name.
Would have been nice to be able to amend some of the messages after submission, having belatedly discovered the person the collection was for didn't want any references to retiring.
Otherwise, this was really easy and effective - with a voucher being able to be used in lots of different places a fantastic option!

Thanks so much for your review, we’re really pleased you found GiftRound easy and effective and that the FlexCard worked so well for you.
Sorry to hear you found it tricky to access your collection after closing. We do have a help page that walks through this step-by-step but I've passed this feedback to our design team.
Thanks also for flagging the apostrophe issue our team has now fixed this.
On editing messages, contributors can update their own comments if needed, as organisers often prefer not to edit on others’ behalf.
We really appreciate your feedback thank you again.

fabulous service
fabulous service - easy to set up and share across a workforce that cover numerous regions (where signing a physical card wouldn't be possible). easy to then close the collection and print off all comments and pictures, to create a lovely memento and also easy to print a list of gift cards they can purchase with the collection amount - highly recommend especially for big companies where its tricky to organise collections sometimes -this is fantastic!

Only place that doesn't charge a fee.
Only place that doesn't charge a fee.
Unfortunately, companies get leavers and with that, collections! I didn't want to use my bank account and no one seems to use envelopes for coins anymore altho that would be perfect coz no one can afford to keep putting £5, let's be honest!
With this company, you can hide the amount people put in to:
A - encourage people into donating, however small the donation is.
B - donations can be anonymous
People can place notes and messages as well as photos.
At the end of the collection, the admin can print the messages into a booklet type for printing and also send the giftcard for use with a lot of online shops.
Shame it's not cash but the gift card is as good as.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. We’re really pleased you found GiftRound's features helpful, especially hidden amounts, messages and photos. We built GiftRound to make contributing feel comfortable for everyone, whatever they’re able to give.
And while it’s not cash, that’s actually quite intentional. We believe FlexCards often beat bank transfers because they’re far more likely to be used as a treat rather than quietly absorbed into everyday bills or essentials.
Most importantly, as you mention, keeping everything as a FlexCard allows us to stay genuinely free from start to finish. No fees, no deductions, no awkward extras.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience it really does mean a lot to our team!

Decent & to be fair it is all well run but...
To be fair it is all well run. Creates something presentable to the gift receiver.
Either it wasn't clear or I didn't read that I could only buy a gift card/s with the proceeds.
Then trying to redeem a card I can only purchase in multiples of 50/100...meaning I have £20 in limbo.
Probably wouldn't use again

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review we’re really glad you found GiftRound well run and presentable for the recipient.
Just to clarify for future readers: GiftRound collections are always redeemed as our FlexCard (rather than bank transfer), which can be swapped with 100+ retailers in the UK. This choice allows us to keep GiftRound genuinely free from start to finish: no fees, no deductions and no “unlock to send” charges.
FlexCards are valid for 12 months, so no funds are lost or in limbo and you can choose from 100+ brand to spend the remaining balance. Sadly Airbnb is an exception, which currently only supports £50 increments via our provider, though we’re actively working to improve this.
Our small team is always happy to help including talking things through over the phone so please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can support you.
Thanks again for the feedback. It really helps us keep improving the experience for everyone.

We’re really pleased to hear GiftRound was easy to use and, most importantly, well received. Knowing that recipients enjoy opening their FlexCard alongside all the lovely messages from the group is one of our favourite moments, to us it’s what group gifting is all about.
