Group gift for a housewarming

Friends pooling toward one real housewarming gift — a piece of furniture, a meaningful kitchen upgrade, a plant for the entry.

Housewarming gifts default to candles, plants, and sets-of-four glassware. New homeowners usually have all of those by week two. The thing they don't have is the bigger piece — the entry rug, the stand mixer, the Outdoor chairs. Giftaro lets the friend group pool toward exactly that.

Typical contribution per person: $25–$75.
