Retirement gift idea
A whole career of memories in one video
Past and present colleagues, loyal clients, family: everyone can say thank you in their own way. The video opens at the farewell party, or later once the new chapter has begun.
A thank-you more personal than a rushed card
Cards often go round at the last minute. A video gives everyone time to share an anecdote, a laugh or what they learned working alongside the person who is leaving.
The reveal date turns it into a moment: during the party, on the first Monday of retirement, or a year later with news from the team.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organise a surprise retirement video?
Ask colleagues for short clips, set a deadline, combine them and upload the video to Capsora. Then choose the reveal date.
Do colleagues need a Capsora account?
No. Only the person creating the capsule needs an account. Everyone else films on their phone and sends you their clip.
Can we watch the video during the farewell party?
Yes. Schedule the reveal for the time of the party and open the link on a screen or phone.
