“The secret to a good work gift? Give people what they actually want, not what you think they want. Let them choose.” says Linz. “Giving the GroupTogether AnyCard lets each person choose the gift cards they want. What's more, the super stylish digital unwrapping experience makes it feel special and personal.”

“We wanted to make it effortless for companies to give a gift that employees actually love,” says Julie Tylman, GroupTogether Co-Founder.
“It takes minutes, but feels meaningful.”
While the survey made it clear that employees value practicality, GroupTogether’s platform makes sure the experience still feels warm and thoughtful. Each recipient gets a personalised greeting card and a beautiful digital gift unwrapping moment, transforming what could be a transactional gift into something memorable.
