So, you’re a nice parent. You want to show your gratitude. After all, that teacher has looked after your precious child all year! But you’re also a realist. What can you buy for $20 because no teacher needs another 20 mugs (or scented candles). A group gift would be much better – and everyone can spend a little less but give something really good. But ugh!
As one mum said “I don’t have time to stalk parents in the playground!”.
Research with over 200 Australian teachers to find out what gift they really want showed that:
- Teachers don’t expect a gift but a card is appreciated.
- If you’re going to give a gift, 73% of teachers preferred a group gift; ideally a gift card.
That’s why two Sydney mums came together and invented GroupTogether.com. You just create and share a link with the parents and they pay online and sign the card. It does the heavy lifting – the inviting, reminding, collecting, tracking and then sends you the money or a gift card. Set it up EASILY in 2 minutes from your phone or computer. No tech knowledge or design skills required.
- It’s free to set up.
- It’s free if you convert your gift collection into a gift card.
- If you’d prefer to buy your own gift, the money can be transferred to you. It’s only 2% + 25c per contribution. That’s 65c for a $20 contribution.
