GroupTogether asked more than 100 Australian teachers what they really wanted as a gift and many of them said a thank you card is appreciated most of all.

If you’re going to give a gift 96.9 per cent of teachers preferred a group gift from the whole class rather than individual gifts.

And ideally, when it comes to gifts, 90.7 per cent of them love a gift card.

GroupTogether is a system to help simplify the process and make end-of-year gift-giving a breeze.

With the brand’s user-friendly platform, you can create a personalised card that the entire class can sign online.

This eliminates the need for chasing down parents for signatures and ensures everyone can contribute to a meaningful gesture.

In addition to the card, GroupTogether also offers a convenient way to collect money for a gift.

Simply share a link with parents and they can easily add their contributions.

This takes the stress out of collecting cash and ensures everyone contributes fairly.

Once the card is signed and the funds are collected, you can download the card as a PDF to print and give to your child’s teacher.

GroupTogether offers a variety of customisable card designs, allowing you to choose one that perfectly reflects your class’s personality.

You can also add photos or other personal touches to make the card even more special.

Beyond the card, GroupTogether also provides a convenient way to select a gift.

There are a variety of gift options, including gift cards to popular retailers and experiences that your teacher will love.

GroupTogether is a female-founded Australian start-up.

Co-founders Ali and Julie have seven children between them and were spending a tonne of time shopping, wrapping and giving gifts that weren’t necessarily what was wanted or needed.

They were always chasing people to sign the card and chip in for teachers, coaches and milestone birthdays.

So they thought, ‘Why not use some simple tech to do the chasing up, tracking and even sorting the gift?’

Now it’s easy for everyone to give a beautiful card and gift that’s actually appreciated and will be cherished forever.
