Group gift for a friend moving away

Friends pooling one meaningful going-away gift instead of a last-night-out card pile.

Going-away gifts often get rushed in the last week — someone collects cash at a bar, someone else picks up a card, the gift ends up being a hug and "we'll Venmo you." Giftaro lets you do it properly: name one meaningful thing — a piece for the new place, a flight back to visit, a memorable experience — and let the friend group pool toward it.

Typical contribution per person: $25–$75.
