Can’t afford that big gift? Why don’t you do what we do? Try edivvy! If you have never heard of edivvy, let me give you a quick scenario…

I was invited to a sweet 16 party for the daughter of one of my good friends. Now, it has been a while since I bought anything for a 16 year old girl, and I went looking for sweet 16 gift ideas. Most 16 year olds don’t want a Barbie or a blouse that they would rather die than wear, so I asked the other girls at work, how about if we edivvy? And most of them agreed, and we were able to get a perfect gift and it ended up costing much less than what I would have spent if I had bought something on my own!

The women that I work with all have families and children and we are forever going to baby showers, and birthday parties and weddings. What we have done is join edivvy.com and when one of these events comes up, one of us will select a gift and send out an invitation stating what the event is, and then select the people that will be participating in paying for the gift, and depending on how many people you have selected to participate, edivvy will split the cost of the gift evenly for each person, and they can pay online for their portion and once the gift is paid for, it will be delivered to you or if you chose to, it will be delivered to the recipient with a lovely card showing everyone’s name who contributed to the gift.

This way you can get a bigger or more expensive gift that you would not be able to afford on your own, and it can be something that the recipient would really want, instead of a bunch of gift certificates to different stores, or even something they really don’t want.

Now, we have uses this service for a few weddings, and two baby showers already, and it works out perfectly! To split the cost of a large gift is a much better way to go, especially now in these economic times.

Just think, you can use this with your own family for graduation gifts, Christmas gifts, Mother and Father’s day gifts, the ideas are endless really. We just think this is a really nice way of gifting someone with something they really want and it is a lot easier on the pocketbook for us all!!

You will want to go to edivvy.com to check it out, and join up with them, because your next gift could be the best!!

Oh, and in case you were wondering….out of all the sweet 16 gifts that she received, she loved ours the best!! That has to make you smile!
