Employee birthday gifts, sent on the day
The one date on the calendar that belongs entirely to the person is their birthday, not the company's. Gifted sends employee birthday gifts on that date, in whatever country they are in, without anyone checking a spreadsheet first.
Free forever. No card, no contracts, no minimums.
Birthdays are lost in the admin
The date was in a spreadsheet somebody stopped updating in March. Then came the vendor, the order form, the guess at what she likes, and a gift basket that landed three days late on an empty desk. Nobody meant to miss it. The work of not missing it was simply larger than the ninety seconds anyone had.
Everything an employee birthday gift program needs
Three settings cover it, and after that the calendar does the sending.
Sync the dates
Birthdays come across from your HRIS and refresh every day. New hires are added and leavers drop off without anyone maintaining a list.
No HRIS is fine. Upload a list instead.
Set one budget
Most companies land between $50 and $100 per birthday. Birthdays can carry their own budget, separate from everything else you send.
Same value for everyone. Same gift for nobody.
Let them choose
The catalog opens to 4,500+ brands, physical gifts and experiences. A recipient can put the whole amount toward one thing or split it across several.
Nobody has to guess what she wanted.
Every employee birthday, sent on the day
Connect your HRIS once and every birthday lands on the calendar with the budget you set. The gift goes out on the morning of the day, in their time zone, with your note on it, and nobody has to remember a single date.

Pick a template and amount
Choose the birthday template, set the budget, add your message and branding. That is the whole setup.
Watch the redemptions
Each gift triggers on the right day on its own, with an optional heads-up to the manager. You see what was sent, opened and redeemed in real time.

Gifted enabled Vita to democratize employee recognition, increasing appreciation and consistency across the organization.
A birthday is cheap to remember and expensive to miss
The gift matters less than the fact that the date did not slip past you.
Sync the dates once, decide what a birthday is worth, and let the person spend it on something they would have chosen anyway.
Employee birthday gift questions
Can employee birthday gifts send automatically?
Yes. Connect one of 45 HRIS integrations and birthdays sync on their own, or upload a list if you do not use one. Each gift goes out on the day, and the person picks what they want with it.
How much should we spend on an employee birthday?
Most companies land between $50 and $100. You set the amount and each person chooses what to do with it, so the whole budget goes to them rather than to a premium on a fixed item.
What does the program cost to run?
Nothing beyond the gifts. There is no platform fee, no user fee and no minimum. ACH and wire are free. Credit card 3%. International FX 5%.
Can we send to people outside the US?
Yes. Gift links work in 150+ countries with 4,500+ brands in local currency, and digital gift cards arrive with no shipping and no delay.
Do we need an HRIS to use this?
No. Upload a list or add people manually. The integration keeps the list current on its own, but it is a convenience rather than a requirement.
What happens if a birthday gift is never opened?
The money comes back to you. 100% within 72 hours, and 75% up to two years.
Other ways teams use Gifted
Automated work anniversaries
A five-year anniversary noticed a week late reads as an afterthought, because it was one.
Employee recognition
Thank people while the work is still fresh, on autopilot.
New hire swag and welcome kits
A new hire decides how they feel about a company in the first hour, long before the onboarding deck.
Peer-to-peer recognition
Most peer recognition programs celebrate one winner and quietly ignore the twenty people who noticed the work first.
