Colleague farewell

Send a colleague off with something from everyone.

Moving on deserves more than a card passed round the office. Set up a free pot in 30 seconds, share one link in Slack, Teams or email, and let everyone they worked with chip in and say goodbye. No app, no account, no fees.

How it works

How do you organise a leaving gift for a colleague?

Start one online pot as soon as their last day is known and share the link in a team channel they're not in. Colleagues chip in from their phone with iDEAL | Wero, Bancontact or their own bank, write a goodbye message and can keep their amount private. Pay out a few days before their last day and buy the gift, or give them the money with every message.

Step 1

Create the farewell pot

Add their name and an optional target. It takes about 30 seconds.

Step 2

Share it with everyone they worked with

Post it in a channel they're not in. Other teams and people working from home join from the same link.

Step 3

Hand it over on their last day

Give the gift at the leaving drinks, or send them a private link to cash out, with every message on one page.

Made for farewells

A proper send-off, without the envelope.

No cash to collect at desks, no list to keep, and every goodbye in one place.

A goodbye card that writes itself

Every name and message on one page they keep. It does the job of the card.

Give what feels right

Anyone can hide their amount, so the intern and the manager both feel fine.

Works for hybrid teams

Colleagues at home, in other offices or on other days join from the same link.

A live total, not a spreadsheet

See who has chipped in and how close you are, without chasing anyone.

Farewell gift etiquette

How much should everyone give for a leaving gift?

It depends on how long they've been with you and how well people know them. Suggest an amount, set a target and let people keep what they gave to themselves.

Who's chipping inPer person
Close team€10 to €20
Wider department€5 to €10
Whole company€2 to €5
Manager or long-time colleagueOften a bit more

Tip: Agree a team default once. Every farewell then feels fair, and nobody has to ask.

We collected for our team lead's farewell in under a day. Nobody had to chase anyone for cash. The collection page felt safe and modern.

Finally no more "can you pay me back?" chaos. One link, everyone chips in, done.

The reveal page is the best part: all the messages and names together. Way more personal than an envelope of cash.
