"PTA-organised, child-led gifting that gives to parents and to your PTA fundraiser"...
It's a new and exciting idea that solves everyone's problem...
PTA MEMBERS WANT TO...
- raise funds to enhance the school environment
- be involved in the school community
- provide fun and popular experiences
- maximise impact for your efforts.
FOR PARENTS...
- time and energy is at a premium!
- it's wonderful to receive a handpicked gift from your child on Mother's Day / Father's Day and Christmas
"School already do a great job with the kids in creating heartfelt, handmade greetings cards.... could our children select a thoughtful gift there, too?"
INTRODUCING...
'With Love From…' the simple, PTA-friendly gifting event that gives back to parents and to your school's PTA or chosen charity.
How does it work?
We source and curate a selection of awesome gifts that children can handpick for their parents or loved ones at a PTA-organised gifting event in school, for Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and Christmas.
As a PTA, you register an event, notify parents via your normal communication channels, and organise a small team of PTA volunteers to help the children select a thoughtful gift for their loved one(s). In return, your PTA will receive 25% of the gifts’ value back for your fundraising or charitable endeavours.
As a parent, you complete an easy online transaction; your child can select a meaningful gift and you'll be contributing to the school's PTA.
EVERYONE'S A WINNER!
- children select a thoughtful gift in a safe, cashless and convenient environment
- parents contribute to PTA initiatives and receive a handpicked gift “with love from” their child
- PTA members effortlessly raise money whilst contributing to the more rewarding aspects of interacting with the children and school community.
Meanwhile, we take care of the payment interface, the sourcing, logistics and packaging of gifts.

WHERE DO THE FUNDS GO?
There is no upfront cost to putting on an event.
After the PTA have signed up to an event and parents have purchased a gift-token on our website, the funds from these payments are allocated as follows (touch or hover over each area to find out more).
PTA Contribution
25% goes back to the PTA for use in your fundraising or charitable endeavours.
Event Mgmt
~25% goes into the management and logistics of the events, including the event organisation and the delivery and collection of gifts for each event.
Gifts
~50% goes into the sourcing of fun, novel gifts that parents will love to receive, as well as packaging that make those gifts feel extra special. We source from around the world to achieve maximum value for money
How much are gifting tokens?
For our standard 'flat rate' event, parents pay £9.99 for their children's Gifting Tokens. This includes everything; the event pack, gift, packaging, PTA contribution and VAT.
Alternatively, you may prefer to arrange a 'variable rate' event, where you can make PTA contributions voluntary for parents. In this case Gifting Tokens are £7.99 and parents can donate to the PTA as an optional add on of between £0 - £5 per token.
These options can be configured in your Event Registration Form.
About the gifts...
We can't tell you everything about the gifts because, well, that would ruin the surprise!
What we can tell you is this:
- 50% of the gift-token value goes into the sourcing of fun, novel gifts that parents and loved-ones will love to receive, as well as packaging that make those gifts feel extra special. We source from around the world to achieve maximum value for your money
- we refresh our gift line up every year to keep it interesting and on-trend.
- the gift will be packaged into one of our bespoke gift bags, with space for each child to personalise on the integrated gift label.
- no matter what the gift, the feeling you get knowing that your child has lovingly selected a gift with you in mind is very special. We promise!
