Problem: My computer-obsessed friend is impossible to buy for. Everything on his wish list is way too expensive to give as a gift.

Solution: Maybe those items are too expensive for one person, so how about getting a bunch of friends together to go in on an electronic goodie that he would love? If that sounds complicated, you haven’t checked out eDivvy.com (www.edivvy.com) yet. The concept is simple: A $200 gift is only $20 per person when split between 10 friends. You set up the details, and eDivvy manages the rest. Enter your event details, pick a gift from the participating stores, and invite friends to participate. You can set a minimum amount per person or assign a suggested range for the contributions. Surplus money can be given as a gift card or can be converted into eDivvy credit for future events.
