A Group Gift Giving Blog, FrumUs To You!
Welcome.....
Ever since I was a little girl growing up in suburban Philadelphia in the '70s, I have relished the challenge of finding creative, thoughtful gifts at a reasonable price. Adding a homemade card, complete with a rhyming poem, rounded out the perfect gift. Decades later I am inspired by the prospect of sharing ideas to make group gift giving exciting and meaningful. Cheers -- Karen

Looking for a unique teacher gift idea? Check out the Wishing Wall from Uncommon Goods (one of my favorite websites for unique gift ideas). Instead of everyone pitching in for a gift card (kinda boring), have the kids and parents all write personal notes and wishes to teacher and roll them up with dollar bills and stick them into the wishing wall. Teacher can either ... Keep Reading

(See the screen grab of our card to the left.) There's even a Facebook app ... Keep Reading

My babies are now teenagers much to my chagrin. As time marches on I am more and more grateful for the keepsakes I have received and collected. I recently came across a few fabulous finds for new babies that would make great gifts -- from a family or a group.
Check out the Birth Announcement Rug from Posh Tots. The colors and graphics are too cute. This is the ... Keep Reading

My son’s
Little League baseball team lost their first playoff game on Sunday afternoon and the coach
invited everyone over to his house for a pool party on Monday afternoon. UGH!
Nobody had collected for the coach. Maybe we all subconsciously hoped we'd be playing longer into the playoffs or maybe we're just not organized enough or (likely) both.

Check out this Summer Patio Memory Tray from Exposures! It's on clearance for $16.99. What a great gift idea to send as a "thank you" if you're invited to someone's summer home or after a family vacation to give to the organizer. I have always been a big fan of Exposures. ... Keep Reading

Office group gift collections are a great way for a "work family" to get together and show support for one another -- whether it's a new baby, birthday or get well. But in these challenging economic times, be particularly careful about the occasion and the approach for organizing. Taking time to get together and spoken or written well wishes on a card are sometimes the most ... Keep Reading
