Whether you're managing a small team or organising something for the whole company, creating a thoughtful group card takes just a few minutes. Invite everyone to sign and send it without the usual admin.
Optional: Get the whole team to chip in on a bigger gift with a Group Gift Collection.
The best team leaders are the ones who notice: the deadline someone quietly saved, the colleague having a rough week, the birthday nobody else clocked. The hard part isn't spotting those moments, it's acting on them before they slip down the list under everything else. Set a card up yourself in a couple of minutes, get the rest of the team to add their own words, and send it or schedule it for the right day. And the evidence on recognition is refreshingly simple: small, specific and regular beats grand and occasional every time.
Three things stop most managers marking the moment. None of them actually apply here.
“I'd have to clear it with HR first.”
You don't. Set the card up yourself and send it, there's nothing to request and nobody to wait on.
“There's no budget for this.”
A card is a small one-off from £2, and any gift is whatever you decide to add. No standing cost, expense it or don't.
“I never find the time.”
Two minutes between meetings. Pick a card, share the link with the team, choose the day. That's the whole job.
Award-winning, too: ExpressWithACard was named Digital Greetings Card Platform of the Year 2026/27 by the Prestige Awards.
These are the kinds of moments that often go unnoticed, but you see them, and naming the specific thing is exactly what makes recognition land.

Frequently asked
No. Any team leader can set one up directly, there's no company sign-off to wait for. It's a one-off cost with no subscription, so there's nothing for anyone to approve.
Single cards start from £2.00 as a one-off, and team bundles bring the price per card down further. There's no subscription. See our pricing page for current rates.
More often than most managers manage, and in small ways. Consistency matters more than scale, a quick, specific acknowledgement whenever someone earns it does more for a team than one big gesture a year. Make it a habit rather than a special occasion.
Be specific. "You handled that client call really calmly, it made a difference" lands far better than "great work". Name the thing they did and why it mattered, and if the rest of the team adds their own lines, even better.
Yes. You create and share the card link with exactly the people you choose, there's no need to involve anyone outside your team.
Yes. Everyone signs from the same link wherever they are, so a distributed team can put a card together just as easily as one sitting in the same room.
No. Anyone with the link can add their message, photo, video or GIF straight away, with nothing to install or sign up for.
Yes to both. Add a smart eGift card redeemable at 200+ UK retailers alongside the card, or use a Group Gift Collection so the whole team can contribute towards something larger.
Yes. Set it up whenever suits you and choose the exact date and time it should be delivered, so it lands first thing on the day rather than whenever you remember.
