Planning group gifts, trips or events? That can quickly become chaotic. With Potje, you keep it simple. Whether you're organising a surprise party, a stag weekend, or a group gift: Potje makes contributions fair, easy, and stress-free. Discover when Potje is your secret weapon – and save yourself the financial headaches.
When should you use Potje?
1. The “We all chip in for the party” plan
Perfect for: surprise parties, housewarmings, birthdays, farewell drinks.
Groceries, drinks, decorations, balloons, photo booths or even a cleaning service… costs can add up quickly. With one Potje, everyone pays their share in advance. This way, you won't have to chase after anyone for outstanding contributions the next morning.
2. The stag party or group getaway
Perfect for: hen parties, weekend getaways, staycations with friends.
Airbnb, groceries, transport, activities – shared costs abound. Let everyone chip in at their own pace (with clear deadlines) and Potje sends automatic reminders. Say goodbye to messy spreadsheets or “Who hasn’t paid yet?” messages; all financial matters neatly in one place.
3. The group gift
Perfect for: baby showers, housewarmings, retirements, graduations.
One larger, thoughtful gift is often more valuable than ten random trinkets (no one is waiting for a third baby blanket). With Potje, you can easily gather contributions, even from people who can't be there. Think of a travel voucher, coffee machine or stylish wine glass set – fairly distributed, so no one is left with too many costs.
Tip: Lacking inspiration? Discover our Gift Pots – the fun, personal and sustainable way to give money as a gift. This makes giving money just as special as unwrapping. Through a Gift Pot, you can collect money and gift the filled pot to the birthday person.
So… is Potje the move?
If you’re organising something with multiple people and shared costs, the answer is a resounding yes. Potje is not just an app, but your peace of mind planner: fair, transparent, and organised. You focus on celebrating while Potje manages the finances.
