eDivvy 101

I'm Marisa. Yes, I'm a diva, and my girlfriends say I'm impossible to shop for. I just want what I want. Hello! That makes me smart! I'm getting smarter by using eDivvy to choose my own gifts. For my birthday, my girls gave $50 each to get me the $700 Fendi handbag I picked out. I am so worth it.

My name is Lee. I never organized a group gift before. But when my coworker Jesse announced he was quitting to go freelance, I wanted to get him a going-away present that didn't suck. I went on eDivvy and picked out a $2,000 Sony laptop for him. To be honest, I never thought it would happen. I invited everyone I could think of to chip in $50, and then our boss came through with a couple hundred bucks in the end. We gave it to him on his last day in the office. I've never seen a grown man cry like that before.

I'm Shayla, and I'm a sales associate. Last year I organized at least 10 group gifts in the office. I would go from cubicle to cubicle collecting cash, then go out shopping, then get everyone to sign the card. It was a huge hassle. Now, I use eDivvy. I do it all from my computer and I don't have to worry about handling everyone's money. It's a genius solution.

Hey guys. This is Kevin. I'm in my sophomore year at State, I live in the dorms, and I'm broke. Obviously. But my mom and other relatives have been pitching in to send me care packages and school supplies. eDivvy is so easy to use, even my granddad can do it. Actually, it was his idea to send me an iPod Touch for my birthday, and he convinced everyone to eDivvy! Awesome.

Hi, I'm Alyson. My twin girls are in fifth grade at Union Elementary, and I'm the classroom mom this year. I figured their teacher would rather get one big gift than a bunch of little stuff, so for the holidays I used eDivvy to ask every parent to contribute $10. When we presented her with a $300 gift card from the entire class, she actually started crying. I'll never give another cheap, apple-themed gift to a teacher again!

Hi, I'm Maggie, and I'm the fundraising chair for the PTA. The school computer lab was out of date and desperate for new equipment. Instead of another candy sale or carnival, I used eDivvy to ask the parents to give what they could. Some families gave a few dollars, some gave a lot more. We raised enough to buy five new computers! It was truly a gift from the entire school community, and it was the easiest fundraiser I've ever done.
