Things parents usually ask.
The useful bits to know before you put the link on the party invite.
GiftRound runs the collection and issues the Argos e-gift card.
Nothing to set up or send the gift.
No sneaky deductions from contributions
Only the people you send the link to can see it.
Will it look like I'm asking for money?+
Not if you keep it optional and offer it instead of a present. Most parents will be glad to skip the shopping trip and wrapping.
Does it work for parties of any size?+
Yes. It works just as well for eight children as it does for 25. Inviting the whole class? That is when PartiGift really comes into its own.
Does everyone need to contribute?+
No. It's completely optional, and nobody is chased or reminded.
How much should people contribute?+
Whatever feels right. There's no set or suggested amount.
Can guests leave a birthday message?+
Yes. Guests can add a birthday message with their contribution.
Is the collection private?+
Yes. It isn't listed or searchable. Only people with the link can see it.
What does the birthday child receive?+
The collection is redeemed as an Argos e-gift card, so the family can pick one bigger birthday gift. It's valid for 12 months from the day it's issued.
Why Argos?+
Every PartiGift collection is redeemed as an Argos e-gift card. With toys, LEGO, bikes and scooters, gaming, tech, arts and crafts, outdoor play and more, families have plenty to choose from across ages and interests.
Is there a fee?+
No. PartiGift is powered by GiftRound and is completely free to use. There are no setup fees, contribution fees or charges to send the gift. 100% of every contribution goes towards the birthday gift, which is redeemed as an Argos e-gift card.
Is there a limit on what people can chip in?+
Contributions run from £1 to £250 each, and a collection can total up to £3,000. Plenty of room for a class-sized party.
How long does the collection stay open?+
Up to 60 days from the day you create it, and you can close it earlier. Most parents close theirs just after the party, then have six months to claim the gift card.
Who sets the collection up, and who holds the money?+
A parent or guardian aged 18 or over sets it up and manages it. Children don't have accounts and don't handle payments. Payments are processed by Ryft, GiftRound's payment provider, not by this website.
What details do you need about my child?+
A first name and an age is plenty. There's no need to add a surname, address, school, full date of birth or photos, and we'd rather you didn't. Only people with the link ever see it.
Who runs PartiGift?+
PartiGift is a consumer-facing occasion brand operated by Gift Round Limited and powered by GiftRound. Gift Round Limited is registered in Scotland under company number SC515352.
What if someone still wants to bring a present?+
That's absolutely fine. The collection is an option, not a rule.
