Group Gifting 101

Group Gifting saves you money; from: Everyone saves you time; it really is that simple. If you're trying to make your dollar go farther, especially when it comes time for gift giving, organize a group of friends to give together. For the same cost as sending a card or a small gift, you can pool your money and give a more substantial gift, from everyone! It's like getting more bang for your buck and that makes sense in today's economy.

And more, from: Everyone is all about the gift card - the gift of choice. Let that special person choose what they really want, either online or at a brick and mortar store. No more 'white elephant' gifts that sit in the closet collecting dust. Afterall, you want them to be happy right?

So get to it people, there are Teachers to Appreciate, Coaches to Thank, Brides to Congratulate and Babies to Welcome!

It's May already and time to think about the End-of-School

This school year has breezed by way too quickly for me. It feels like we celebrated the holidays, and all of a sudden I was looking for summer camp options. And now, we're into May and the end is in sight. For me, the end of the school year is kind of a push-pull. Intially, I'm happy to have some flexibility in our daily schedule; but soon enough, we're all looking for some structure. I'm joyful about celebrating all of my child's accomplishments of the year; and slightly saddened that they really are a little older. The perpetual Mom-Dichotomy!

Anyhow, as the year-end approaches and you start thinking about a gift for your teachers, remember to visit from: Everyone (http://www.fromeveryone.com/) the 'group gift' website. It makes more sense, now more than ever, to gather together to say thank you. It's not about extravagance; it's the gesture and thought that counts. And don't forget, as cute as all those crafty little things are, our teachers really do deserve something special for themselves; a gift card from Nordstrom, Borders, or Whole Foods - give them something they'd really love - a group gift from: Everyone.
