Givenly
Trusted by world-class teams
Automations  ·  Synced from your HR system

Set it once. It runs all year.

Connect your HR system and Givenly keeps every birthday, hire date and new starter current. Then decide what happens on each day: a gift link three days before a birthday, a different collection at 1, 5 and 10 years, wallet credit in a new hire’s first week.

  • Birthdays and work anniversaries straight from your HR data, sent days before or on the day.
  • Milestone years, so a fifth anniversary gets a different gift than a first.
  • New hires welcomed when their account is activated, and leavers drop off on their own.

Gift links, wallet funds and gifts

Three ways to give. All automatic.

Pick one for each moment, or mix them. Every option runs on the same automations, the same login and the same invoice.

Send Redemption

A gift they choose

One branded link by email or text. They pick from the collection you set for the moment and enter their own address. No prices, no account, and unclaimed gifts cost nothing.

Assign Wallet Funds

Credit for your company store

Add funds to their Givenly wallet on a birthday, an anniversary or a schedule. They spend it in your company store, on your branded gear or on gifts from the catalog.

From a real customer
★★★★★

“We use Givenly year round for employee appreciation. Givenly makes this a breeze. If I ever have any questions their team is always there to answer them. They are truly AMAZING! So much so that we expanded our business with them — we added Brand on Demand and contracted them to do our swag bags for our yearly company event. I wish I could give Givenly more than 5 stars!”

FAQ

Employee gifting questions, answered.

How do employee gifts send automatically?

Connect your HR system and Givenly keeps birthdays, hire dates and new starters up to date. Then set an automation for each occasion: a gift link a few days before a birthday, a different collection for each work anniversary milestone, or wallet credit when a new hire’s account is activated. They run all year without anyone keeping a list.

Which HR systems does Givenly connect to?

Givenly syncs with HR systems like Workday, ADP, UKG, BambooHR, Paylocity, Rippling and Gusto, and with any HR system that can send a scheduled file export. Birthdays, hire dates and leavers stay current, so gifts reach the right people.

Can we give a different gift at 1, 5 and 10 years?

Yes. Choose the milestone years you want to celebrate and give each one its own collection, so a fifth anniversary feels different from a first. See Employee Milestones for service awards end to end.

What’s the difference between a gift link and wallet funds?

A gift link is for one occasion: the employee picks from the collection you chose and enters their own address, with no account to create. Wallet funds add dollars to the employee’s Givenly wallet, on a birthday, an anniversary or a schedule, to spend in your company store on branded gear or gifts from the catalog.

Do we pay for gifts nobody claims?

No. Nothing is charged when a gift link goes out. You pay when the employee redeems it, and unclaimed gifts cost you nothing. Links expire after the number of days you set (30 by default), with reminders along the way.

Does it work for remote and international teams?

Yes. Employees enter their own shipping address, wherever they work. Teammates in the US, Canada and 25+ other countries can choose gifts that ship where they live, Givenly handles duties and customs, and every gift page has a translate button.

Can managers send a gift or a thank-you anytime?

Yes. Anyone you allow can send a gift link to one person or a whole team in a few clicks. For everyday thank-yous, Recognition Central lets coworkers recognize each other with real dollars attached.

Can we ship a welcome kit to new hires?

Yes. Givenly can ship a specific gift or kit automatically, and our team designs custom welcome kits with your brand, packed in our three US warehouses and shipped to each new hire’s door. See onboarding kits.

Are the gifts branded to our company?

Yes. The email and the gift page carry your logo, your colors and your message, with a photo, GIF or video if you like. It reads as a gift from your company, not from a vendor.

Are employee gifts taxable?

In the US, gifts to employees are generally taxable income, with two common exceptions. Occasional small non-cash gifts, like a holiday treat, can be tax-free de minimis benefits, but cash and gift cards are always taxable. Length-of-service and safety awards of tangible items can be excluded up to $400 per employee per year ($1,600 under a qualified award plan). This isn’t tax advice: check with your accountant or payroll provider.

What are good gifts for employees?

The best employee gifts are the ones people would pick for themselves, which is hard to guess for a whole team. Popular choices include earbuds and speakers, smart mugs, fitness trackers, birthday treats, and bigger milestone gifts like a grill or a watch. A gift link lets each person choose. See employee gift ideas.

How is this different from Recognition Central?

Employee gifting is the gift itself: the moment, the choice and the delivery. Recognition Central adds the everyday layer: peer recognition with real dollars, Celebrations for birthdays and work anniversaries, and Team Member of the Month. Both run on the same login and the same invoice.

Is our employee data secure?

Givenly runs on AWS in the United States, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and keeps each company’s data separate. Card payments are handled by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). We’ll complete your security questionnaire and join a review call with your IT team.
