Send a gift as a private individual

How to send online

1. 1When private web gifting is available, open https://send.glede.app/personal. If you choose personal gifting during business registration, you can bring your amount, recipient, card and message to the personal flow. Choose one recipient if your draft contains several. You choose before an existing personal draft is replaced. Review the gift before paying; business branding and invoicing do not carry over. Your business draft stays saved. Choose your language and Norwegian kroner (NOK) or Swedish kronor (SEK) in the menu at the top. Choose currency while editing the gift. Each gift has one recipient.
2. 2Enter the amount, card and greeting, and delivery method on one page. The amount field starts empty. Enter an amount or choose one of the suggestions. Each step gets a tick once it is filled in. The preview sits next to “Create a greeting”, and the total price and “Continue to checkout” are at the bottom of the page. On a phone, the total and button stay at the bottom of the screen until you get there. Under “Choose delivery” choose “Glede sends the gift” or “I'll give it myself”. If we send it, type the recipient’s mobile number or email address in one field: a mobile number is sent as a text message, and an email address as an email. Text messages go to Norwegian or Swedish mobile numbers and direct recipients to the Glede app. Email contains a gift link that opens on the web. Under “When should it be sent?” choose “Now” (right after payment), “Tomorrow 9 AM” or “Pick a time …” for your own date and time up to a year ahead. Gifts you give yourself are not sent by us and have no time.
3. 3Verify your Norwegian or Swedish mobile number by SMS. If BankID is required, verify first to retrieve your name, date of birth and available address. Then enter only missing details and a receipt email. For smaller purchases without BankID, new buyers provide their name, date of birth and address. You must be at least 18. No password or business account is required.
4. 4Checkout has one step per page: mobile number, your details (including the receipt email) and payment. Your browser’s back button takes you one step back without losing anything. On the payment page you review the recipient and delivery, accept the terms and that delivery starts before the cancellation period ends. The payment button shows the total from the start. Card fields and available Apple Pay/Google Pay options load immediately. Receipt and validity information appears alongside the terms and payment button. Tick both boxes before you pay.

Photos and video are available in the app

Under “Create a greeting”, fill in “To” and “From”. In “Message”, you can write an optional greeting of up to 120 characters. “Choose wrapping” at the bottom of the greeting box opens six large choices: Classic, Birthday, Christmas, Celebration, Summer and Easter egg. Each style comes with matching gift paper, colours and animation. On the right of the message field, “Add a card” shows small card examples that match the wrapping. Select “Choose a card” to open the card library. Your selected card stays when you change wrapping; use “Change card” to choose another or the cross on the card to remove it. The preview follows what you enter. Select “Preview gift opening” beside the preview or “Preview the unwrapping” below “Continue to payment” to see the gift as the recipient will. Between delivery and the summary, “Glede for business” introduces sending to many, your own branding and payment by invoice. “Explore Glede for business” opens a dialog showing the benefits of business gifting; you only switch after confirming with “Switch to business”. Gift logos and sending to several people are available in the business flow, which you can also open at https://send.glede.app. File uploads and recipient imports are not available in private checkout. The Glede app lets you add more greeting pages, photos, video, GIFs, a song of your own and a tip about a place to use the gift. In the app’s greeting editor, Wrapping sits next to Gift tip and Song. All six themes appear as large cards: Classic, Birthday, Christmas, Celebration, Summer and Easter. Tap a card to select its wrapping. Preview gift opening shows the full experience. Changing themes keeps your card, greeting, song and gift tip. You can also get a notification when the gift starts being used, and the recipient can send a photo thank-you back. Select “See what you get in the app” at the top of the page for a tour with five clickable steps. The phone shows the step you select. Choose “Download the Glede app” or scan the QR code. A web draft is not automatically transferred to the app.

Gift links and printing

Choose “I'll give it myself” to get a gift link and a PDF with a QR code. “Download a sample (PDF)” shows what the PDF looks like before you pay. You get the real one once the payment and gift are confirmed. You do not need the recipient’s phone number or email address, and we do not send an automatic message. Copy the link or download the PDF from the confirmation page and give it to the recipient. The gift PDF is also attached to your receipt email, along with the receipt and withdrawal form. Anyone with the link can open the gift, so share it only with the intended recipient. Gift links cannot be scheduled; validity starts when the gift is created, not when you hand over the printout.

When is BankID required?

BankID is required before payment when your cumulative gift value reaches NOK 1,500 or more. Individual gifts of SEK 1,500 or more also require BankID. Swedish purchases are converted to NOK for the shared purchase limits. Previous web and app purchases count together with the new gift, excluding fees. Another unfinished payment may also reserve value while it can still be completed. Documented BankID verification you already completed with Glede is reused. Your gift and greeting are kept during verification.

Find your receipt in the app

Your receipt is emailed to the address you provide. Sign in to the Glede app with the same mobile number you verified at checkout and open “Sent gifts” for orders and receipts. You do not need to have received a gift first. The page checks payment status automatically after payment. If confirmation takes longer, choose “Check payment status” or contact us through Help. Do not pay again while the status is unclear.

SMS sign-in is closed between 00:30 and 06:30 Norwegian time. Try again after 06:30. If your account cannot perform an action, contact Glede through the support form.
