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.

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.

I used giftround to set up a retirement gift collection for a work colleague. It was simple and easy to share and for people to contribute and then easy to send to the recipient. No extra charges either!

We’re really pleased you found GiftRound simple and straightforward to use, from setting up the collection to sharing it and sending it on to your colleague.
And we’re especially glad the no-extra-charges part stood out, making sure every contribution goes to the gift is something we really care about.
Thanks again for choosing GiftRound for such a special moment.

We’re really glad GiftRound felt easy from start to finish - that’s exactly what we aim for. While a lot of platforms promise simplicity, we work closely with a brilliant team of designers and developers to make sure the experience genuinely stays clear and uncluttered all the way through a GiftRound, without overwhelming people with too many choices.
Your feedback really did make our team smile, and we’ve shared and celebrated it together thank you for taking the time to let us know and to encourage us.

Thanks so much for your review!
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.
And by keeping GiftRound completely fee-free, we can make sure everyone involved, from contributors to the recipient, has something to smile about when group gifting with GiftRound.
Thanks again for sharing your feedback,

We’re really pleased you found GiftRound simple and straightforward to use. The comments section and PDF download are features that mean a great deal to our team: we wanted to make sure the messages and memories are just as special as the gift itself and something that can be kept and looked back on. It’s wonderful to hear that worked well for you.

We’re really glad you found GiftRound easy to set up and that converting to a gift card at the end worked smoothly.
We design the GiftRound experience with organisers in mind, to help lighten the load when it comes to group gifting, so it’s great to hear the reminders helped with that too.
Thanks again for sharing your feedback.

Great way to organise a collection for someone
Great way to organise a collection for someone, found it very easy to set up. Also love the fact that all the money collected goes to the recipient, rather than having a percentage "admin fee/commission" deducted. I had to email with a query, and got a very swift response back.
The only reason it's not got 5 stars is that one or two people said they had problems donating, and didn't find the process very user friendly. Other than that I would thoroughly recommend

Simple and effective
Easy to use I liked the additional feature of the comments pdf download. The biggest improvement is the number of suppliers you can spend contributions at. E-gift card works well and is a good option if not sure what to buy.

Being able to organise a collection…
Being able to organise a collection with a remote team is fantastic and it is super simple to organise and manage. I understand you have simplified the process but really miss being able to send an actual printed card with messages. The other is transferring some/all of the money to a bank account - sometimes money would preferably be spent on items or companies not listed.

Thank you so much for your lovely 4-star review! I’m really glad GiftRound made it super simple to organise and manage a collection with a remote team.
We know some people miss physical cards but moving away from posted items helps us keep GiftRound 100% fee-free and removes the stress of cards going missing in the post.
To keep things feeling special, we created the GiftRound PDF gift voucher and free group card a beautifully designed, downloadable keepsake you can print or share instantly.
We also understand that bank transfers can feel convenient but with new banking regulations and high processing costs, it’s becoming increasingly intrusive and complex for customers, so we’ve chosen to focus on digital vouchers to ensure every penny contributed goes directly toward the gift, with no fees or deductions 💙
Thank you for taking the time to review GiftRound, we really appreciate it.
