New Minnesota-born solution to group gift giving arrives in time for Holidays


GroupHug has launched just in time for the holiday season and the inevitable group gifts that will be organized, as we find new ways to connect and be together during the holidays. Created to restore the gesture in group giving, Minneapolis-based business GroupHug, is focused on easy financial collection for groups and ensuring everyone feels a part of the giving.

“During this pandemic, it has become clear that we will find ways to come together even when we cannot physically be together,” said GroupHug Founder, Katy Ramme, “GroupHug is here to help foster that connection no matter where we are.”

Through an easy-to-use free platform, seamlessly integrated with Venmo or Paypal, the organizer can set up a GroupHug with a relevant image or video and share with their group. Once the funds have been collected and the gift has been purchased, let the recipient know their GroupHug is on the way. Contributors to the group gift have the opportunity to include their own personal messages, videos and images to enhance the overall gifting experience.

Teams, teacher gifts, holidays, charitable causes big and small, bachelorette, bridal, wedding showers and anniversaries, birthdays and those people in our lives who simply need a little extra love will find GroupHug to be a useful tool.

As an added feature, GroupHug’s concierge service is an option for gift givers. With a little bit of GroupHug magic, the GroupHug team works with clients one-on-one to learn about each of the recipients on their list and will customize the perfect gift according to their budget. Wrapping, nationwide shipping or local delivery to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, GroupHug are options through personal holiday concierge at a $25 additional per gift fee to reduce your holiday stress.
