Our customers love it, so will you

I got my first Hansel last week and honestly thought it was class… used it to treat a friend to a coffee in college - such a fun, simple small moment.

- John

I love that I can add my own touch when I’m sending a Hansel. It’s the small details that make it feel personal.

- Harry

What I really like about Hansel is the flexibility - no pressure, no guessing - just an easy way to give the right gift every time…

- Harrison

I love how Hansel makes even the smallest gift feel meaningful. I sent a quick thank-you, added a little message, and suddenly ‘coffee on me’ felt like a real moment.

- Alison

A Hansel is the kind of gift that makes you appreciate the thought behind it. It really inspires me to use it for those small but meaningful moments. Love it!

I love creating personal gifts. Adding photos, videos and little messages is so much fun - and looking back on everything I’ve sent and received is so much fun

- Ali

Hansel gifts are so easy to use. I can spend them anywhere, see my balance straight away, and I’m not losing leftover money on random gift cards anymore.

The tradition behind Hansel

Long before digital wallets existed, the word 'hansel' meant to place a coin inside a new purse or wallet. This simple gesture was a wish for good fortune, a hopeful start, and a reminder that generosity matters.

At Hansel, we’re bringing that ritual into the digital age. Just as people once gave a first coin to mark a meaningful new beginning, we make it easy to send a modern gift with the same intention. Hansel isn’t just a transaction, it's a thoughtful gesture rooted in tradition that carries a touch of good luck, a moment of care, and a reminder that the best gifts are always about more than what’s inside.

Pass on luck and love!
