In guidance published on October 16, 2025, [GiftCrowd](https://giftcard.news/company/giftcrowd/) describes using a shared collection to pool those contributions and leave the final selection to the recipient. The company suggests that families can set up a holiday collection for themselves or their children, then share a link with friends and relatives. Contributors can add money when convenient instead of coordinating separate purchases or choosing a physical item in advance. Once the collection ends, the recipient can select one gift card or divide the collected amount among several. GiftCrowd said its offering covered more than 450 brands at the time of the article, giving recipients scope to choose rewards that fit their own preferences. The guidance presents group collections as a way to reduce unwanted gifts while preserving the contributions of the people involved. A single shared collection also gives friends and family an alternative to managing separate purchases and deliveries. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Holiday Gifts You Actually Want?
