Whether you’re recognising a work anniversary, celebrating a birthday, or simply showing appreciation, Happl’s Gifting feature makes it easy for employers to send thoughtful gifts to team members – at scale and with heart.


Where to Find Gifting

Head to the Admin panel and select Gifting from the left-hand menu. From here, you can:

  • Browse the Store for curated gifts

  • Review Past Orders

  • Send celebration gifts through the Team Celebrations page for events such as birthdays, work anniversaries, maternity leave, general leavers, and new joiners.


Explore the Store

The store features everything from gift cards and wine to wellness hampers and houseplants. Filter by employee name and category to tailor your selection and make it truly personal.

We believe the best gifts are the ones that feel personal. When you select an employee, you’ll see:

  • Their bio

  • Their interests (e.g. wine, fitness, design, sustainability, pets)

  • Any preferences they’ve added (e.g. no alcohol, no gifts, halal, no nuts, vegan)

This ensures that you’re never sending something generic – just meaningful, inclusive gifts every time.

Top Tip: Filter by employee to view their profile and interests – Happl automatically recommends gifts that align with what they love.

How to order

Follow the steps below to learn how to place an order and send to an employee.

  1. Select the gift that you wish to send

    From the curated list of gifting options, ensuring that it aligns with the employees interests and preferences if possible.

  2. Add a personal note

    To make your gift that little bit more special, add a personalised note that we will send via email so the employee knows who it's from.

  3. Pay with a Happl Card

    Select the Happl card that you wish to pay with, and copy the details into the relevant fields below. You can also pay for the gift with any standard banking card too, for more flexibility.

  4. View your Order Confirmation

    Head to the Past Orders tab nested underneath gifting on the left navigation. Here you can see the date, status, order number, amount and download an invoice.

    You can download your invoice by clicking the 'View Order' button and then the 'Download Invoice' button at the top right of the pop up.

Managing Gifting Preferences

As an admin user you have the ability to edit who can see and use gifting, as well as who can utilise the gift cards.

Head to Settings → Preferences to manage:

  1. Allow Employees to See Gifting

    Gifting for employees gives employees access to a range of products that they can choose to buy for themselves, family, or colleagues.

  2. Allow Admins & Managers to See Gifting

    Gifting for admins allows managers to send gifts on key milestone events for their team, such as birthdays, work anniversaries and more.

  3. Allow Employees to use Gift Cards

    Gift cards allow employees to browse a range of merchants and buy a gift card with their choice of value.

Some organisations choose to disable this as they have no visibility on what the employee buys once they have bought the gift card, which may go against allowance policy details.
