A Twist on the Traditional Group Gift


There are all kinds of reasons for a group to come together to give a single gift.  Sometimes, they're elaborate, but most often the goal is just to show that you care.  Boheez carries a variety of gift books that can make a thoughtful, long-lasting reminder of the connections that tie us together, perfect for retirement celebrations, weddings, milestone birthdays, or encouraging someone dealing with an illness.

Our books are not only beautiful and contain inspirational passages, but they also have an abundance of open space, ready for each member of the group to add their own personal note on a page that speaks to them. Costing between $10 and $15, the books can stand on their own or be added to another gift.

When I was going through my own (multiple) crises, I fell into a habit of re-reading the facebook messages, emails, and texts that friends and colleagues sent. Especially on days when I was feeling sad, alone, and overwhelmed, those simple messages meant so much.  My late husband, when he retired early due to his disability and illness, received a large print surrounded with messages from his coworkers.  Luckily, we had space to hang it where could view it frequently.  It served as a wonderful reminder of happier days and strong friendships.

These books are like that, only in a smaller, portable, and more accessible version.  What innovative group gifts have you given (or received)?  Do you have any ideas for a twist on group gifts?  Share, please!
