Team Gifts Jar
A Team Gifts Jar is one shared link that takes the awkwardness out of office gifting. Instead of chasing coworkers for cash, you send a single group gift link — everyone adds their share and a note, and you see exactly who is in, all in one place.
What is this?
A Team Gifts Jar is a shared page for one workplace gift — the link you create and send to the team.
What do I do?
Share one link with the team who wants to chip in.
What happens?
Coworkers add their share, send a gift card, or leave a note — with no cash changing hands at desks.
How a Team Gifts Jar works
Name the Jar
Say who the gift is for and the occasion — a birthday, a work anniversary, a new baby, or a thank-you. It takes under three minutes.
Share one link
Drop the group gift link in the team channel or an email. No accounts, no app downloads — anyone can open it and chip in on their own time.
Everyone chips in
The team adds money to the collection, sends a gift card, or leaves a note. You track who has contributed and cash out when you are ready.
Ways people use a Team Gifts Jar
Illustrative examples — not customer testimonials.
The coworker birthday
The team wants to mark a colleague's birthday without one person fronting the cost. A Jar lets everyone add a few dollars quietly, so the card and the gift come from all of you.
Welcoming a new baby
A teammate is heading out on parental leave. Coworkers pool a group gift for the new arrival through one link, even the ones working remotely.
The thank-you collection
An assistant, a mentor, or a departing manager deserves a real thank-you. The team shares a Jar so the whole group can contribute to one meaningful gift.
Team Gifts Jar FAQ
How do coworkers add money to the collection?
They open your link and contribute by card — no account or app needed. Everything lands in one Jar you control.
What are the fees, and how do I get the money?
Contributions are processed securely by Stripe, which charges standard card-processing fees; EventJar adds a small platform fee shown before anyone pays. You cash out to your bank account through Stripe — the balance is yours, minus those transparent fees.
Can I see who has chipped in?
Yes. You can see contributions as they come in, so you know who is in without having to send reminders around the office.
Can people send a gift card instead of cash?
Yes. Alongside the money pool, contributors can send a gift card from popular brands, so the recipient gets choice as well as a group gift.
Do coworkers need the EventJar app?
No. A Jar is just one link. Anyone can open it in a browser and chip in — that is the whole point.
