A retirement marks decades of work, and the send-off should feel like it. A collection link travels further than an envelope ever could — to old teams, past colleagues, and the office abroad — so everyone who wants to say thank you, can.
Alongside the pot, the messages become the real gift: stories, memories, and thank-yous from across the years, delivered online and — if you like — printed in a proper card they can keep on the shelf.
How it works
- 1
Start the collection
Name the recipient, set an optional target and deadline. Free to create, takes two minutes.
- 2
Share one link
Colleagues chip in by card or Apple Pay and leave a message — no app, no account, no cash.
- 3
Deliver the moment
They choose gift cards from 100+ UK brands or a bank transfer, with every message — online or in a printed card.
Free to create — contributions carry a small 1.9% + 20p fee. See the full walkthrough.
Message ideas
Staring at a blank message box? A few starters:
- "Congratulations! You've earned every single lie-in that's coming."
- "Thank you for teaching half this office everything they know."
- "The place won't be the same without you. Mostly because nobody else knows where anything is."
- "Wishing you a retirement as generous as you've been with your time."
