No, you do not need to sign up to join a gift. Just enter the name you want to be shown on the gift, the email address where we can send the receipt and notifications, and include a greeting (optional). Once you add your contribution using a debit or a credit card, PayPal, or Venmo, you are all set! If you join gifts through a gifting page, add all the gifts you want to join into your cart and then pay for all of them together.
Currently, people can join GiftCrowd gifts from anywhere in the world. However, gift cards ordered through GiftCrowd are only valid in the US and, in some instances, Canada. (Please refer to the terms and conditions as well as redemption instructions for each card).
GiftCrowd enables you to create gifting events in which you can list several gift recipients. For example, you might include several teachers from a school or a head coach and an assistant coach in a gifting event. A unique link will be created to your gifting event's page, and gift invitees can easily join several (or all) of the gifts on this page.
To hide the amount of individual contributions in individual gifts, please check the "Do not show the individual contribution amounts to the gift recipient" box. For gifts that are part of a gifting event, uncheck the "Show the individual contribution amount to the gift recipient" box.
Every gift card has its own redemption instructions. Please refer to them before ordering a card.
Every gift recipient can choose how to redeem their gift amount into one or more cards from hundreds of brands. A single gift can be redeemed into multiple cards. Every card selected is sent via email and is ready to use right away.
