A recent study of 140+ Aussie teachers revealed that 88% would prefer one gift from the class over individual gifts. If that sounds like a headache to organise, don’t worry! We’ve discovered GroupTogether – they make the whole thing super easy.

Just create a teacher gift collection online, share the link with parents and ta-da! Everyone signs the card and chips in online. Parents don’t see who gave what. You can even let families sign the card without contributing so it’s inclusive for everyone.

Choose from eGift Cards, hampers, flowers or even withdraw the cash. Most parents give the GroupTogether AnyCard which lets the teacher choose from 100+ eGift Cards including Myer, Woolies, Airbnb, Apple, JB HiFi, endota spa & more.
