Make gift cards memorable! Discover creative ways to give gift cards for special occasions with Assembly’s new program.
Gift cards have come a long way from being a last-minute, impersonal option. Today, with a bit of creativity and the right tools, gift cards can become the centerpiece of thoughtful, memorable gifts for any holiday or special occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, retirement, anniversary, or simply want to say “thank you,” there are endless ways to make gift cards feel personal and exciting. In this article, we’ll explore innovative approaches to seasonal gifting and show how Assembly’s soon-to-launch gift card program can help you deliver delight with every gift.
Gift cards offer flexibility and choice—two things most recipients appreciate. The key to making a gift card feel special is in the presentation and the experience you create around it. With Assembly’s new program, you can elevate your gifting game with features designed for both individuals and organizations, making every occasion more meaningful.
Skip the standard envelope. Craft a festive card holder, tuck the card into a small box with confetti, or attach it to a themed item. For example, pair a coffee shop card with a personalized mug, or a bookstore card with a beautiful bookmark. For holidays, consider placing the card inside a Christmas ornament or a Valentine’s Day bouquet.
Turn receiving a gift card into an adventure. Hide the card in a scavenger hunt, or create a puzzle the recipient must solve to reveal their gift. For group occasions, assemble a “gift card bouquet” with multiple cards from different stores, each with a note from a different friend or colleague.
A heartfelt note explaining why you chose a particular card or how you hope the recipient will use it can make all the difference. With Assembly’s e-card feature, you can create a kudo board—an interactive, customizable card that friends and coworkers can sign and send via email or text, complete with fun animations.
Assembly’s new gift card program is designed to make gifting more personal, flexible, and fun:
Assembly takes the guesswork out of gifting, making it easy to send thoughtful, personalized gifts for any occasion. Whether you’re recognizing a colleague, celebrating a milestone, or just spreading a little joy, Assembly’s platform ensures your gift stands out and creates a memorable moment.

Yes, at Assembly, security is a top priority. Each quarter, we have ongoing security work that is everyone’s responsibility. While we maintain a strong security posture, it was important for us to prove to our customers that we do everything we claim to do. This led us to pursue a SOC 2 Type II report that would provide evidence of our compliance with industry gold-standard security practice.
There is study after study showing that employee recognition leads to increased engagement.

At the time of redemption (when your employees exchange their points for a paid reward) you'll pay face value. If a reward is a $10 Amazon gift card, your cost will be $10. All paid rewards are billed for on a monthly basis.
The good news is that you don't have to pay for rewards upfront because we only charge you when points are redeemed, not when they're earned.
We offer discounts or educational or charitable organizations. In order to secure a discount, you'll first need to book a demo with a customer support specialist.
For all other organizations, we are willing to consider longer-term agreements in exchange for discounts. To set up annual plans or longer, you will need to book a demo with a customer support specialist.
If you're on a month to month plan, you can go here and cancel anytime. If you're having concerns or need help setting up your account for success, you can always book a demo with a customer support specialist.

Great question! You can customize your core values to match your organization's to boost and track alignment. You can change your currency from the 🏆 emoji (our default) to any emoji of your choice. You can swap our logo for your own. You can also set up company culture rewards such as, "Lunch with the CEO," "Buy a book on us," and so much more!
While we recommend a peer to peer set up where anyone in your organization can give or receive recognition, you can set up Assembly however you want. If you need to limit the people who can give or receive recognition, that's perfectly fine and can be done from your Admin, here.
Assembly connects to the tools your employees use every day to offer an easy, seamless experience with minimal change management.
Assembly has integrations with HCM/HRIS systems like ADP, Google, Office 365, and Slack. We also integrate with communication tools like Slack and Teams so you and your employees can access Assembly wherever they work now.
That depends on the company's permissions set up. That said, over 90% of the employees on Assembly's platform are recognized on a monthly basis. That means nearly every employee across all of our customers are receiving regular recognition from their peers, managers, or leadership. We're extremely proud of this.
They are not required. You can use Assembly without having rewards set up. However, we don't recommend it if you intend to have a high adoption and usage rate. You can always keep the costs down by offering internal culture rewards that are fulfilled by you internally.
No, you can remove allowances from anyone or everyone. It's up to you but we do recommend using points whether they're worth a real dollar value or not. Companies that use points have a much higher engagement rate even if those points don't exchange for real dollars.
