Guide
A jar created in two minutes, a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Step 1 — Create
Sign up free, name your jar, write a short note to your group, pick a card that fits the occasion — or upload your own. Set an end date, and you're done.
There's an optional target amount if you have something specific in mind.
Then copy your private link and share it — email, Slack, WhatsApp, a team channel. Just keep it hidden from the recipient.
Organising one for yourself? Brilliant idea! Share the link, skip the hints, get exactly what you wanted.
Step 2 — Chip in
Contributors open the link, chip in by card, and leave a message. That's it. Payments go through Stripe so everything is secure.
Amounts are completely private. Not even the organiser sees who gave what — only the recipient does. So whether someone gives $10 or $100, even a message without contribution is just as welcome. Nobody feels pressured or left out.
The link can be passed along — that's how small collections sometimes quietly grow beyond the original group.
Step 3 — Gift
When you're ready, enter the recipient's email and set a 6-digit PIN. They get a secure link and use the PIN to "open" the jar.
Every message is laid out clearly — not squeezed into the margins of a card that ran out of space. The recipient is the only person who sees who gave what.
Their Amazon gift card code arrives by email and never expires. It covers the full amount collected, minus a small 5% fee. They also choose a bigger gift by simply paying the difference at checkout.
The messages stay online permanently — something to come back to long after the gift card is spent.
