Your letter to Santa Claus

It’s time to write your letter to Santa Claus, by adding wishes to your Gifteer wish list. Here are a some advice:

• Add as many wishes as possible, so that your friends and family will have a lot to choose from, and you won’t feel like imposing this or that gift. And you will still be surprised!
• Share your wish list on your favorite social networks: Facebook, Twitter, ….
• Create wish lists for your kids
• Email your wish list by copying the URL of your wish list

Gifteer reminds you of your friends’ birthdays

Yesterday we announced a ton of new features. Here is more information.

As a universal wish list site, we had to remind you of upcoming friends’ birthdays. So we put together four types of emails:

• a “D-60″ email, that reminds you 2 months in advance (60 days, dughh!) that your birthday is coming, so you have ample time to add items to your wish list, so that your friends will know what to get you,
• a “D-30″ email, that reminds people who have added you in their friends list, of your upcoming birthday,
• a “D-1″ email, that reminds your friends they should call you the next day to wish you a happy birthday,
• A “D-day” friendly email from us here at Gifteer, to wish you a HAPPPPY BIRTHDAYYYY!!!!

Here is how it looks like on Gmail :

Our moms’ wish lists on Gifteer

Mother’s day is coming soon, time for our moms to add their wishes to Gifteer.

This will spare them the latest ironing board or pasta necklace !

Our moms deserve the gifts they dream of !

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!

Swaps

While trading emails with Gifteer users, we came accross this great concept: swaps.
What are swaps exactly?
Swappers trade home-made gifts related to a given theme. Themes can be “cats”, “Hello Kitty” or “snow” for example.
Let’s look at what a “cat swap” would work: swappers exchange their preferences via email (preferred colour for example) and any things to avoid (allergies for example). Then swapper A will create a home-made gift about cats, following swapper’s B preferences. Swapper B will receive the gift a few weeks later by mail! Swapper B does the same thing with swapper C, etc… until they close the loop.

Clean up your wish lists

It’s time to clean up your wish lists and remove all these great gifts you got for Christmas, just to make sure you won’t get them again next year!
You should start adding new wishes right away to prepare for your birthday

A remember our Gifteer advice: put as many wishes as possible, so your friends will have plenty of choice and you will still be surprised when you open the box!
