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

Just this past Christmas/Hanukkah, I gave enlarged framed photos of a "priceless ra ... Keep Reading

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
