Every team has its milestones – birthdays, weddings, farewells, or promotions. These are moments that shape our lives and can bring people closer together, even in the workplace. But how often do we actually do something about it?

We all know the drill. Someone mentions an upcoming birthday, another suggests sending flowers for a colleague who has just been promoted... and suddenly there’s an awkward silence in the group chat. Should we buy a card? Who collects money for the flowers? Everyone wants to do something nice, but no one really wants to take charge. It often remains a casual suggestion, a last-minute idea – and let’s be honest: organising usually falls to that one colleague who never voluntarily becomes the party planner.

What if there was a better way to organise group gifts within your organisation?

Imagine: your team puts in a few euros every month into a shared Love & Care fund. Not complicated or expensive – just a small contribution, which over time can become something big and meaningful. This Love & Care fund, or Team fund is there for both the big and small moments in life: a birthday surprise, a thoughtful gesture on International Women's Day, or a farewell gift to appreciate someone’s hard work. Everything becomes simple, because the budget is already in the fund and ready to turn good intentions into real action.
