Gift ideas

What to get a colleague

A colleague is close enough that the gift matters and far enough that you don't know their taste. Here are neutral but never boring ideas, and a way to fit the whole office collection into one link.

Create the team gift — free

Free. Colleagues need no app and no account.

Ideas by budget: from you or from the whole team

The first two budgets are for when you give; the third is for when the whole office chips in.

Up to 30 ₾

A small gesture that stays on the desk instead of disappearing into a drawer.

30–80 ₾

When the colleague is a friend too, or you remember their birthday without a calendar.

A team gift: 150 ₾ and up

Ten colleagues at 15–30 ₾ each, and you can think about a real gift. And the organiser no longer has to message everyone one by one.

Prices are from extra.ge and may change. Prices from extra.ge, checked 28.10.2026.

Why a colleague's gift is strangely hard

It's not the money; it's the awkwardness.

  • Neutral, but not boring

    Perfume and clothes are too personal. Another mug or hand cream is the gift people forget within a week. You need something in between, and that's the hard part.

  • The envelope that goes desk to desk

    Someone collects cash, someone has no change, remote colleagues get left out entirely. In the end the organiser quietly covers the gap from their own pocket. And next month, when the next birthday comes round, it all starts again.

  • "How much do I put in?"

    Nobody writes an amount in the chat, so everyone watches everyone else. To some, 10 ₾ feels awkwardly small; to others, 50 feels like too much. So nobody starts.

How Wishler helps here

One link in the team chat, and the organiser never has to count.

  1. The organiser creates the gift

    In their own Wishler they add the gift, from a shop link or just by name, and switch on "chip in together". They add how to pay them: a card or bank details.

  2. One link in the team chat

    Viber, WhatsApp or Slack: the link opens in any browser. Remote colleagues join exactly like the people in the office.

  3. Everyone adds their share

    Any amount, with a name if they like. Everyone sees how much is collected and how much is left. The money goes straight to the organiser; Wishler holds none of it and takes no fee. It's all recorded in one place, so nobody has to collect screenshots.

Questions people ask

What to get a colleague for their birthday?

Something they'll use at work or at home that isn't too personal: a table lamp, a buildable bouquet, a good thermos. If the colleague has a Wishler list, just pick from it. Or ask a colleague who's close to them what they love: coffee, sport or books.

How much should we collect for a colleague's gift?

You don't need a fixed amount. The organiser sets the gift's price, everyone adds what feels right, and everyone sees how much is left to the goal.

How to collect money for a colleague's gift online?

The organiser creates the gift in Wishler with "chip in together" on and sends one link to the team chat. Everyone pays the organiser directly and marks their share there.

What to get a colleague who is leaving?

Something for the next chapter: a carry-on suitcase, good earbuds or whatever they've been talking about lately. Add a card where everyone writes a line; people keep those for years.

This time, one link and no envelope

Two minutes to create the gift, one message in the chat; the team does the rest.
