Every now and then, we come across a great idea that many of you might appreciate. So, we will share them with you. Pass it along if you enjoy it.
We recently read an SF Gate article about online gifting. Back in “the day”, we used to send a card to our favorite people on special occasions. Sometimes, we enclosed cash or a check, or more recently, a gift card. But times have changed, and for the better, we believe.
Welcome to “online gifting”. Two Bay Area startups mentioned in the article include:Gift Rocket http://www.giftrocket.com/ AND Giftly http://www.giftly.com Each is unique in its delivery, but the concept is the same.
Here’s an example from the article: A guy’s younger brother was celebrating his birthday, but he could not make the party. So, he sent a GiftRocket to his brother with the note, “Sorry I can’t make it, but buy a round of drinks for you and your friends on me.” How cool is that?!!
We have not yet personally tried online gifting, but for all of the times we did not have time to buy a card or send a gift, this seems like a reputation saver!
