How to Avoid Useless Christmas Gifts with an Online Money Pot

Every year in Switzerland, Christmas comes with good-intentioned gifts that often end up unused. Duplicate items, objects nobody needs and rushed last-minute shopping create waste, unnecessary spending and stress.

A simple, modern and very Swiss solution exists: the online money pot. It ensures one meaningful gift, chosen directly by the person, without mistakes.

Why do useless gifts accumulate at Christmas?

Several reasons explain this:

• lack of ideas or time
• holiday stress
• social obligation to offer “something”
• impersonal last-minute purchases
• uncertainty about the recipient’s taste

Swiss media such as 20 Minutes and RTS regularly highlight how many Christmas gifts end up forgotten, exchanged or resold.

The online money pot: the smartest option

A money pot eliminates gift mistakes entirely. The recipient can use the funds for what they truly need:

• a quality item
• an experience
• a weekend trip
• home equipment
• a wellness package
• or any meaningful project

In Switzerland, HappyPot.ch offers a simple, secure and local way to create a Christmas money pot. Contributors can send money within seconds and add a personalised message.

Concrete ideas to replace useless gifts

1. A high-quality group gift
    Instead of many small items, friends and family can contribute to one valuable present: Swiss design, a watch, a premium appliance or a weekend away.
2. A memorable experience
    Theatre, spa, mountain stay, creative courses or family activities. Swiss people increasingly choose experiences over objects.
3. A contribution to a personal project
    Home renovation, a driving licence, sports equipment or professional training.
4. A gesture of solidarity
    Some families dedicate their Christmas money pot to helping someone or supporting an association or local humanitarian project.
