Gifts
Chip in for the gift, without chasing anyone
Birthday, Christmas or baby shower. List the ideas with their prices, everyone says “I’ll buy it” and Divall splits what it cost among everyone chipping in.
How it works
From the idea to the wrapped gift
- Name it. If you like, add the occasion, who it’s for and a date.
- Who’s chipping in? Add the people taking part. Don’t add the person receiving it, so they don’t find out.
- What do you want to give? Add ideas with a rough price, or use the quick ideas, like a card or gift wrap.
- “I’ll buy it”. Everyone says what they’ll buy. When they mark it as bought, they enter what it cost and it moves to Purchases. Anything someone buys that wasn’t on the list goes on it too, and a red number on the account shows how many things are left.
- Who pays whom. Divall splits what it cost among everyone and, under “Close account”, shows how much each person sends to whoever bought it.
An example
Laura’s birthday
Four friends give her headphones. Ana bought them for $150.00.
| Who | Paid | Share | Pays Ana |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ana | $150.00 | $37.50 | — |
| Luis | $0.00 | $37.50 | $37.50 |
| Diana | $0.00 | $37.50 | $37.50 |
| Mauricio | $0.00 | $37.50 | $37.50 |
If someone else buys the card or the gift wrap, it’s added to the expenses and Divall works out the accounts again.

Not if you don’t add them to the account. Divall reminds you when you choose who’s chipping in for the gift.
What if everyone buys part of the gift?
Everyone says “I’ll buy it” on their part and, when they mark it as bought, enters what it cost. Divall splits the total among everyone and shows who pays whom.

Yes. The gift list works for birthdays, Christmas, baby showers or any gift from a group.
Is Gifts free?
Yes. On the Free plan you create up to 20 accounts every 30 days across Food and drinks, Nights out, Events and Gifts, with 2 open at a time.
