Back to School Necessities Made Fun and Affordable with eDivvy.com

Give your Scholar the tools they need to succeed with our easy group gifting
concept
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Back to school season comes along with the task of getting students ready for a
productive year in the classroom. While so many items are needed to make a
smooth transition from summer to school, eDivvy.com (www.edivvy.com) is the
headquarters for back to school shopping. eDivvy.com makes it possible to cover
all the back to school bases from computer and desk supplies to dorm room
necessities with retailers including Target, Dell, Sports Authority and tons
more (view all at http://www.edivvy.com/learnmore/merchants/).

Aside from the usual school supplies, first time college students also want to
make their new dorm a home away from home. Though these necessities can be
rather pricey, they are ideal gifts for friends and families to send to their
graduate.Helping a new student feel at home in their new environment with useful
back to school gifts is a great way for friends and family to share their good
wishes.

Using eDivvy.com as a group gifting tool can minimize the cost and make it easy
to get all the items needed for freshman year. Our gift expert has recommended
these items as the top gifts for back to school: Hotel Spa Collection Duvet
Comforter Cover 6 piece Bedding Set - Queen Size ($23.16 split 6 ways), HP
Pavilion G60-230US 16.0-Inch Laptop ($87.60 split 6 ways) or a Danby Deluxe
Compact Refrigerator (4.3cu.ft.)($16.60 split 6 ways).

eDivvy.com is remarkably easy to use. The organizer of the group gift creates
their event by choosing the occasion and an invitation design to match. They
customize their invite information and then select the product(s) they want to
group gift. After a few more simple customizations, they add the email addresses
of those they wish to invite to group gift and send. eDivvy.com takes over from
there. Once each e-mail recipient receives the email on behalf of the organizer,
they can choose how much they want to contribute, and charges that amount to a
major credit card through eDivvy`s highly secure process. Once the group gift is
fully funded, eDivvy.com ensures the gift is shipped directly to the recipient
from the retailer from which it was chosen. All of those who contributed to the
gift can also sign a virtual gift card for the recipient. The organizer can
check in throughout the process, see who has contributed and the remaining
amount needed to purchase the gift, and send gentle reminders if need be.

Eden Jarrin, president of eDivvy.com said that with today`s tight economy, this
is the right moment for an idea like eDivvy.com. "People still want to delight
their friends, family and business acquaintances, but for obvious reasons may
feel less able to. Splitting the cost of a more expensive gift is the solution,"
she said.

eDivvy.com can be tapped for charity fundraising as well as occasion-based
gifting. "It was clear to us after speaking with our members that they wanted
the capability to raise money for their favorite charity, school, or church
group. We`re proud to also facilitate non-profit occasions as well," Jarrin
said.

New retailers and gift options are regularly being added to the site. Follow
