Lolligift Automates Office Gift Collection

Which is more annoying: Collecting money in your office for someone with a birthday, anniversary, new baby, etc., or being asked to contribute and not having any cash on you?

Fear not: Lolligift is here. As reported by TechCrunch, Lolligift uses a single link to allow users to begin sending funds, which are then collected via PayPal, with the latter taking its cut and the former taking $5 of its own. Or the funds can come in the form of a free mailed check or Visa Check Card.

The site is run by former Microsoft employees and was founded by Adam Sheppard and William Lai, TechCrunch reported.
