SEPAHow do siblings collect money for their parents' anniversary gift?
One of you starts an online pot and shares the link in the family chat. Brothers, sisters, grandchildren and friends chip in from their phone with iDEAL | Wero, Bancontact or their own bank, write a message and can keep their amount private. Pay out a week before the party, then buy the gift or give your parents the money with every message.
Create the anniversary pot
Pick the milestone, add what the gift is for and set an optional target.
Share it with the family
Siblings, grandchildren, aunts, uncles and old friends all join from one link, at home or abroad.
Present it at the party
Buy the gift yourself, or send your parents a private link with every message.
One gift, however spread out the family is.
No sibling spreadsheet, no awkward maths, and messages from three generations in one place.
Fair without the maths
Suggest a share and let people hide their amount, so nobody compares what each sibling gave.
Messages across generations
From the grandchildren to their oldest friends, every message on one page.
Family abroad can join
Anyone with a bank account in 21 European countries pays from the same link.
Buying the gift yourself?
Pay the pot out to your own account and book the trip or the dinner.
How much should each sibling give?
Most families split the main gift between the children, then let grandchildren and friends add what they like. Budgets differ between siblings, and that's fine. Hidden amounts keep it that way.
| Who's chipping in | Suggested amount |
|---|---|
| Each child or couple | €50 to €150 |
| Grandchildren | €10 to €25 |
| Aunts, uncles and friends | €10 to €50 |
| Golden or diamond anniversary | Often a bigger target |
Tip: Agree the gift first, then set the target to match. It ends the "so what are we actually buying?" thread.

Set up a pot for my mother-in-law's 70th in two minutes. Everyone paid with iDEAL | Wero straight from the group chat. Full amount arrived.
Family in Belgium and Germany could all join. No fees taken off, which was the whole point for us.
The reveal page is the best part: all the messages and names together. Way more personal than an envelope of cash.
