Sympathy
A sympathy card for a colleague, when you don't know what to say
Giftable lets you build a free, quiet sympathy card for a colleague - gentle design, a few sincere lines, messages from the team if you want them - and send the full card for €3, one-time. It opens privately from a link in any browser, no app, whenever they're ready - and they can answer with a 30-second video reply only if and when they want to.

What to write in a sympathy card for a colleague
“I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't think about work at all - everything here is handled. We're thinking of you.”
“There are no right words, so I'll offer the true ones: I'm sorry, I'm here, and your desk will wait as long as it needs to.”
“The whole team is holding you in our thoughts. Take every day you need. When you come back, lunch is on us - no conversation required unless you want one.”
How it works
Pick photos and an occasion
Choose the occasion, add your favorite photos, and write your message. No account needed to start.
Add a scratch-off surprise
Hide a photo or a message under a foil layer they rub away with a finger - the moment feels like unwrapping a gift.
Share the link
Send it by WhatsApp, iMessage, or email. It opens in any browser - no app to install - and they can answer with a 30-second video reply.
Frequently asked questions
What should I avoid writing in a workplace sympathy card?
Skip 'everything happens for a reason', skip questions, skip anything about return dates. Say you're sorry, say work is covered, say you're thinking of them. Short and sincere beats long and eloquent.
Is a digital card appropriate for condolences?
It has one real advantage: they open it when they choose, privately, not at their desk with people watching. Several teammates can add short messages, and there's no pressure to respond.
What does it cost?
Building the card is free; a single-slide card sends free, and the full card is €3 one-time. Understated design - nothing festive, no confetti.
