Give Over

Giftshare Service

Sniff sniff. Weep weep.

Your most treasured colleague is leaving the company in favour of pastures new.

But you’re not sobbing because he/she’s abandoning you — oh, no. It’s because you’re the idiot who’s volunteered to secretly trawl around the office with a crumpled brown envelope, pestering co-workers for their hard-earned cash in order to buy a paltry gift for the traitor.

And once they’ve donated their coppers, you’re unclear as to what to actually buy with the total sum. So you’ll be happy to know that online service Giftshare does the whole thing for you. Whether it’s for a wedding, birthday, retirement or newborn, you simply go online and set up a specific fund into which friends and family can donate or ‘club together’ directly. Giftshare will then assist in the purchasing of the present and deliver it directly to you.

Which means your work is done, while your reputation remains intact.

You lucky beggar.
