You have to check out this site — from Everyone. It is the first site I have seen that helps you with the tedious task of buying a group gift. The gifts they offer are gift cards from national retailers. But, the best part is how easy the process is: First, you select a gift card from the popular brand-name stores. Next, you gather addresses and emails and invite contributors via the site’s email form. Finally, you activate your group gift by making the initial contribution and you’re done. Then, on the designated day, after everyone has had time to donate, the gift is on its way.
The contributions are confidential as well, so the whole office doesn’t have to know how much you gave. I am definitely going to try this for the end of year teacher gift.
The biggest drawback is that there is a 10% fee, but shipping is free. What do you think? Is the price worth the convenience?

For those of you balking at the 10% - here’s the scoop: if you’re giving $5.00 toward the group gift, the service fee is $.50 (that’s fifty cents!) - we think that’s worth it and hope you will too! Paula Cho, Co-Founder
