In France you would get Lily of the Valley tomorrow!

Ever wondered what French lovers offer their girlfriends on May 1st ?
Well, Lily of the Valley is what French women get to start the month, it’s a sign of luck.

At Gifteer, we got you some “Muguet” as it is known in France, along with a cute chick.

Year of birth on Gifteer

We finally decided to include the year of birth on the users’ profiles. You can set the full date of birth, and decide not to share the year on your profile (we looked out to our senior users who do not want to show their age to the world!”.
Eventually, it will help us suggest gifts to get to your friends based on actual wishes entered by other users of the same age.

In the process, we had some philosophical debates regarding the best way to input a full date of birth. If you look on other websites, you’ll find various options:

digg.com
yahoo.com
netvibes.com

At Gifteer, we want to make your life easier, and since we are always looking for innovative stuff that speed things up, we have chosen a particular input format that we hope you’ll like: you type in the date with any format like 2/12/1974 or 2 12 1974 or 2-12-1974, we get what you meant and confirm that the date is valid. The whole thing, of course, super super fast.

So let’s go to www.gifteer.com to update your profile!

Easter on Gifteer

The Eggs have landed on Gifteer. Beware, chocolate
Gifts are on their way!

Gifteer innovates again with a new graphic theme!

Spring has come, not doubt about it now! Birds are tweeting, flowers are blooming and everybody was busy preparing BBQs over the week-end.
At Gifteer, all this means…. a new graphic theme!
Goodbye snow, snowflakes and ice. Here are coming flowers, green grass and a warm sun light!

This is our Art Director’s gift to the Gifteer community.
But wait, this isn’t it. Easter is coming and there will be surprises…

Why should you add URL to your wishes?

For those who did not understand the title of this post, let me tell you that a URL is like a web address, something like www.gifteer.com.
All right, that being said, why should you care about URLs ?

Let’s say a friend of yours is looking at your wish list and is interested in offering to you a particular item “MP3 player for swimming”, and thinks it’s a great idea and wants to offer it to you. Unfortunately, this friend is no MP3 expert, and ends up buying the one MP3 player that you did not want. Too bad…

That’s where URLs come into play: add the URL of the item, like this : http://www.svmlemag.fr/tests/03153/arena_h3o. You know your friends will get you the right gifts!
