ABOUT US
We believe that every occasion deserves to be celebrated. And that special days become even more special by spreading the joy.
Ever since I was a little child, on my birthday, apart from a lovely party, we had a tradition –  we would pack a big box of everything I had loved and used through the year, to take and share with little children in a home nearby who didn’t have enough. Meeting those children and seeing the smiles on their faces brought me joy in a way the parties never could.
As an adult now, I hope to pass on this tradition to my daughter, and through Scift, hopefully to many more people out there. We’ve partnered with NGOs doing incredible work with animals, children & women, the environment, skill development for young people and many more. Let’s double, triple and quadruple the joy – the more we give, the more we receive!

COLLECT
Guests can contribute money into a gift fund instead of bringing individual gifts.

SHARE
Your gift fund is shared with the charity of your choice.

TESTIMONIALS
Scift is such a refreshing idea in today's world, when most children have so much already. My son did not miss getting many gifts at all and was very happy.
I recently received a Scift donation in my name, made to the Shishu foundation. I hadn't asked for it, I wasn't even expecting it! But in the week before my birthday, there it was, sitting in my inbox - an email thanking me for my donation, and telling me what a huge impact this small donation would make to the kids at the organization! A friend had gifted this to me! And what a wonderful feeling this was - the feeling that I did something good, that I helped someone. Rather than greedily gathering another gift for myself, the occasion of my birthday was used to do a good deed! Incomparable!!"
"Gifting is always stressful. I always put a lot of thought into my gifts - I always hope that it brings the recipient joy, and that it's not just another object that adds clutter to their life. Off late that's becoming tougher and tougher - everyone has everything, you drift away and are no longer sure what the person might like etc. Until I came across Scift, that allows you to 'gift' a donation. You're essentially making a donation in someone else's name! What better way to bring someone joy - not just the recipient, but even the kids who benefit from that donation!!"
"How I wish Scift had existed when my girls were little & we had those birthday parties every year - only to be saddled with so many chocolate gift boxes and at least 3-4 pieces of one type of a game or the same sets of colours - and we were always at a loss what to do with them. Scift would have made it easier for us to directly help the less privileged than us & it would have brought greater joy to my girls seeing a glint of joy on the faces of these children who Scift is supporting."
"Using Scift has beena wonderful experience! My 7 and 4 year olds were made to feel special after using Scift and don't miss getting gifts for their birthdays. They still cherish the pins and check that they recieved. The experience catered by Scift has made it memorable."
