Start a group gift, invite everyone to contribute, then choose and deliver the gift cards. HipChip handles the collection and helps keep everyone on track.
1. Set up Your Group Gift
Choose your occasion, add one or more recipients, and select a contribution deadline. You can decide on gift cards after collecting.
2. Invite People to Chip-In
