Sydney, Australia, 23rd November 2016- Teachers are always grateful for the thought behind a gift…however,198 teachers that were surveyed by GroupTogether share their favourite end of year gifts and their not so favourite gifts….
 

One teacher says: “We already have all the scented candles, hand creams and mugs we could ever wish for!” 


Another teacher adds: “Definitely pool gifts with either the whole class or other families if cost is an issue to avoid 20 boxes of $5 chocolates.” “A thoughtful card and meaningful words are most appreciated.”

GroupTogether takes the hassle and awkwardness out of collecting for a group gift. One person sets up a collection in a few minutes. GroupTogether does the heavy lifting: the reminders, tracking and collecting contributions online. Then the pooled money is transferred to the organizer.
 
It’s more convenient for everyone to be able to pay online and add a personal message to the card. The printable card is such a nice keepsake for the teacher.
It’s free to set up and free to contribute for teacher collections (school/ballet/scouts) using the promo link. http://fbfeefreemums.grouptogether.com/
 

 
About GroupTogether:
Ali Linz and Julie Tylman's are revolutionising the way Australians are gifting with a website that takes the hassle out of collecting for a group gift. In the last year, over 10,000 Australians have enjoyed the ease of it and the way it takes the awkwardness out of collecting money. 
 
GroupTogether doesn't sell gifts. The user-friendly platform does the inviting, reminding, collecting, tracking and then sends the money and group card to the organiser.  It makes it easy to pool funds to give one gift that’s really wanted without the waste. Friends can also add a photo and message to the group card. For those who want to “give back”, there’s the option to donate a portion of the gift pool to your favourite charity.
