Here’s how and what you can give – we’ve got something for every situation. 

Send a Gift From a Group

Group gifting is our bread and butter – birthdays, farewells, baby showers, weddings, thank-yous, you name it.

So, instead of the AnyCard, you get to choose a brand upfront – think fashion, beauty, homewares, tech, entertainment, groceries, dining, wellness and experiences. And we’ve barely scratched the surface here!

Q: Where can I purchase gift cards online?

A: Right here. Really. GroupTogether offers AnyCard eGift Cards, which you can buy online in seconds. No need to run to Woolies, Coles or Myer to hunt down a shelf fresh out of physical cards – not to mention that whole plastic pollution thing. Just buy it digitally and send it instantly. Presto – you’ve got the ultimate gift card sorted. 

Q: What’s the difference between a physical gift card and an eGift Card?

A: A traditional card sits on your desk until you finally remember to take it to the shops. Not to mention the plastic and cardboard that ends up in landfill. An eGift Card? It’s instant, secure and delivered straight to email so you can channel your inner Shakira and use it whenever, wherever. It’s the modern choice for anyone who shops online (so… everyone), and also saves plastic – good for the planet AND your friend.

A: Yes, and it’s ridiculously easy. GroupTogether lets you send bulk eGift Cards with a single spreadsheet upload. Perfect for staff rewards, client gifting, Christmas, EOFY or even, well, Leif Erikson Day – hey, it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else if your team is down!

A: In-store is great…if you enjoy bumper-to-bumper traffic, queues and the thrill of wondering if they’ll even have your card in stock.
