SEPAHow do you organise a work anniversary gift from the team?
Start one online pot about four weeks before the date and share the link with the team and anyone who has worked with them over the years. Colleagues chip in from their phone, write a message and can keep their amount private. Pay out a few days before the celebration, then buy the gift or hand your colleague the full amount.
Create the anniversary pot
Add their name, the milestone and an optional target. Only people with the link can see it, so the surprise holds.
Invite everyone who worked with them
Post it in the team channel and forward it to people who have moved on. Long careers come with long guest lists.
Wrap up before the day
Buy the gift or hand over the money, with every message gathered on one page.
Built for milestones that took years to reach.
Years of colleagues, one link, and a page of messages that reads like a career.
Messages from every era
The people who hired them and the people they hired, side by side on one page.
Reach former colleagues
Anyone with the link can chip in, including people who changed teams or left years ago.
Give what feels right
Anyone can hide their amount, so the new starter and the director both give what fits.
Buying the gift yourself?
Pay the pot out to your own account. Handy when you're booking the dinner or ordering something engraved.
How much should everyone give for a work anniversary?
There's no fixed amount. Bigger milestones usually mean a bigger gift, but that comes from more people joining, not from asking each person for more.
| Who's chipping in | Per person |
|---|---|
| Close team | €10 to €20 |
| Wider department | €5 to €10 |
| Whole company or several teams | €2 to €5 |
| 25 or 40 years of service | Raise the target, not the amount |
Tip: If the company gives its own gift, say so in the description, so colleagues know theirs comes on top.

Trusted for the big days at work.
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.

In the Netherlands and Belgium the big ones are 12.5, 25 and 40 years of service. Plenty of teams also mark 5 and 10 years with something smaller.
Yes. Anyone with the link can chip in and write a message, whether they moved teams, retired or left years ago.
That's normal for long service milestones. Mention it in the description so colleagues know their gift comes on top, and hand both over together.
About four weeks for 25 or 40 years, so people outside the team can join. Two weeks is plenty for smaller milestones.
