Group Gifting

Guest post provided by Katherine Klinger, creator and founder of (oopdoo)TM hug

One way to make your dollar stretch farther is to organize a group of friends to go in on a group gift. For the same cost as sending a card or a small trinket, you can pool your money together to send a more substantial gift.

One site that makes organizing a group gift easy is fromgroup.com.

The process is simple:

• Choose a gift from over 700 gifts ranging from gift baskets, to jewelry, to baked goods.
• Set up a group purchasing page and invite your group to make a commitment to the gift at their own budget level in amounts as low as $5.
• The cost of the gift gets split between participants with respect to each person’s budgeted amount and shipped!

FREE Group e-card

Why send a free birthday e-card to a friend, when you can go one step further and organize a group of friends, coworkers, classmates to send a free group e-card! At groupcard.com you can do just that!

The organizer starts the card and then invites others to come add their own personal touch. To personalize it, you can upload pictures, choose different fonts, etc.

Organizing a group takes a small amount more effort, made easier by modern technologies, but the impact it makes on the recipient makes it worth it!
