For a colleague

A personal gift for your colleague, made together

There is a colleague who means something to all of you. Someone who's leaving, who has a birthday, or who could just do with being seen for once. A gift card is quickly bought, but it says nothing. What does last are the words of the people around that person. Here you turn those words into one gift together. You start it, your colleagues write, and out comes something you're glad to put your name to.

Starting costs nothing. You only pay when the gift is finished and you want it made.

Why this is more personal than anything you can buy

An ordinary gift comes from one person and would suit anyone. Not this one. Here the whole team writes, each in their own words, about the one thing that makes that colleague who they are. One of them mentions how she always looks in. Another that he never let anyone down. Together that becomes a portrait nobody else could have given. Which is exactly why people keep it.

From start to gift, with no fuss

The only thing you have to arrange is the starting whistle. You make a board for who it is for and why. You get a link to share with your colleagues, by email or in the group chat. Everyone writes their own words, whenever it suits them, without an account. On the day you choose the board closes and you see it all together. Then you pick the form it takes and pay in one go. The rest happens by itself and lands on the doormat ready to give. More about how Complimentje for teams works.

Every word together on one canvas

The messages come together on a canvas of 30 by 40 centimetres, in the soft Complimentje style. Not a loose pile of cards that disappears into a drawer, but one thing to hang up. The words stay readable, with the names beside them, years later.

One team, one gift, one amount

No passing an envelope round and chasing loose change. The canvas costs 59 euros, and that's all. You pay in one go on behalf of everyone, or you split it afterwards the way you always do. No subscription, no surprises.

Worth knowing

You don't need an account to start. The board is private: only people with the link can write on it, and you see every message before it goes to print, so it stays in your hands. If something doesn't belong, you take it straight out.

The most personal gift is not in any shop, because it's about that one colleague and nobody else. Words from the people around someone come closest. At Complimentje the whole team writes together, and those words become one canvas that lasts.

How do you make a gift together with your colleagues?

You start a free board, share the link with your colleagues, and everyone writes their own words without an account. On the date you choose the board closes and you see it all together. Then you pick the form it takes and pay in one go.

What does a shared gift for a colleague cost?

The canvas with all the messages on it costs 59 euros, and that's the whole amount. Starting the board and filling it is free; you only pay when you have it made.

What occasions is this for?

For a leaving do, a retirement, an anniversary, a birthday, or simply to let a colleague know for once that it's noticed. Anywhere several people want to say something together to one person.

Does everyone need an account to write?

No. Your colleagues open the link, write their words, and that's that. Only you, as the organiser, keep track and see every message before the gift is made.
