Group gift for a kid's milestone birthday (5th, 10th, 13th)

Big-number birthdays deserve a big-thing gift. Pool one meaningful thing instead of a pile of small ones.

5th, 10th, 13th — the milestone birthdays are when families and friends want to mark the moment. The trouble is everyone defaults to wrapping something small, and the actual thing the kid wants (a bike that fits their body now, a real instrument, a shared experience) costs more than any one person should buy alone. Giftaro is the natural answer: one named thing, contributions from everyone who would've bought a smaller gift, your kid gets the milestone present.

Typical contribution per person: $20–$60.
