Life events
The moments a company shows up for, or does not
A new baby, a wedding, a surgery, a loss, a retirement. These are not on any calendar and they are the moments people remember longest. Thankscrate gives managers a way to respond in minutes, within a budget the company set, with a gift that fits.
Curated for new parents
Three options, Priya chooses
"Congratulations, Priya. Take every minute you need. We have it covered here."
From Sam, printed on the card
Priya confirms the address
Why it matters
People remember who showed up
The week someone's parent was in the hospital, or the day a baby arrived, is when the company's care is tested. Most companies mean to respond and many do not, because it depends on a manager knowing what to send, where, and how to pay for it. Thankscrate takes those steps off the manager.
- New baby, wedding, get well, bereavement, pet loss, retirement
- Sent in minutes, on demand
- The right tone for each, since sympathy gifts are not birthday gifts

How it runs
The manager notices, the rest follows
Pick the person and the occasion, write the note, choose a curated gift suited to the moment or let them choose. The address is confirmed by the recipient, the order is placed within the tier you set, and the send joins the same history as every scheduled gift.
- Curated sets per occasion
- Within company-defined budgets
- A personal note on a printed card

Good to know
Life events are sent on demand
Unlike birthdays and anniversaries, life events are not created from a date. A manager or program owner sends them when the moment happens, using the occasion's budget and gift set. Bereavement is one of the most-used occasions on the platform, which says something about the companies that use it.
Questions
Common questions
Quick answers.
Will it still feel personal?
Gifts ship with a printed card carrying a message someone actually wrote. Managers get a link to write it, no login needed, and reminders until it's done. Recipients choose the gift that fits them.
Is the gift-card option really any brand?
The recipient redeems their gift card for the brand they want at redemption time. You choose the amount. They choose the brand.
