Gifts That Transform Lives
Is it the right color? Is it enough? The politics of gift giving would make life-long diplomats shirk and volunteer for hand-to-hand combat. Who gives what and how much did they spend? Should you have given a bigger or better gift? The answer is yes. Bigger and better is always, well…better!
Of course everyone wants to see a loved one get a gift so tremendous they collapse in to a fetal ball. It’s an amazing sight to behold: a grown man weeping over a new Mac Power Book. The cold indifference of the Internet is poised to neutralize anyone harboring suspicions about who is paying how much. The trouble with splitting an expensive gift is the inherent distrust of those pitching in. The problem is not everyone wants to give the same amount. Behold the power of splitting the cost of a major gift.
When you add up the cost of gifting all the people in your inner and outer sanctum, it adds up. Before you know it you could be spending close to $1,000 to show the people in your life how special they are. A moderately price gift here or there is nice enough, but how would your loved one or friend react when he or she tears open a gift to find a brand new Coach purse? What about a $2000 laptop?
Avoid the awkwardness of group giving by letting an online service parcel out the lots and collect the money. Automatic reminders and online payments make it a hassle-free and ego-free process. Revel in the humanity free zone of modern technology. Asking people to pitch in is awkward.
Group gifting is the affordable way to spoil that special someone with an unbelievable gift. The people you ask to pitch in can give as much or as little as they want. It is all kept in super secret computer files no one can access. And the best part is if you and your cheapskate friends can’t manage to drum up the cash, you can have whatever you did mange to raise dumped into a gift card. Sometimes, cash is just the ticket.
