Prioritize your wish list on Gifteer

For those of us who have dozens of wishes on their Gifteer wish list, you’ve got to have way to tell your friends which ones you want now!
That’s why we introduced a new functionality called “priorities” that lets you specify which wishes you want first. You have little hearts that you can pick: choose from one to five hearts and tell the world what your wish priorities are!

New affiliation program: Gifteer Suggests

Gifteer.com, the universal wish list site that lets you create and share wish lists, introduces its new partnership program.
Called Gifteer Suggests, this program lets users browse gift suggestions selected for them.
When they stumble upon a wish they would love to have, the users can click on the “I want this too!” button to add the wish directly to their wish list. Later, their friends or family may offer this wish to them !

For more information about the Gifteer Suggests program, contact marketing@gifteer.com or visit our marketing affiliation page.

Your Valentine’s wishes on Gifteer

Valentine’s day is getting closer. Are you sure that the one person who should know exactly what you would love to get for Valentine’s, has any clue?

A week-end in the Grand Canyon?  A new pair of skis?  A day at the Spa?

Gifteer is a great way to let him know what your real wishes are

So let’s go to Gifteer and add your wishes!

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.

Who would dare to sell their Christmas presents?

A lot of people, it turns out!
Although this is still a delicate subject in most families, a lot of people are turning to gift selling to get rid off not-so-great gifts in order to generate some quick cash and buy the gifts they really wanted! Selling a gift is better than leaving it in the drawer for ever!
With Gifteer you avoid these extra steps and make sure you get the presents you really want. So next time someone brings up the subject of gift selling, tell them about Gifteer!

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!

Today you’re nothing if you are not on Facebook

So at Gifteer we’ve decided we had to be on Facebook! You can join us here : http://fr-fr.facebook.com/pages/gifteer/49702484111.

We are preparing a “Facebook application” that will let you post your Gifteer wish list on your Facebook account. That’s useful!

Gifts and surprises

We are often asked: how can I have a Gifteer account and still look surprised when I get my presents?
Our advice is simple: put as many wishes as possible, so that you will never know which gifts are waiting to be open in your stockings! If you have only one or two wishes, then yes, it’s going to be harder to look surprises

Associate accounts

If you have small children, it’s difficult for you to ask them to enter their wishes in Gifteer!
That’s why we invented associate accounts. These accounts, that you create yourself for your children, allow you to manage their wish lists directly from your own account.

How do I get started?
Go to your account settings, by clicking on your name at the top right-hand corner. Then you will see, on the right-hand side, where you can create one or more associate accounts.

Later (much later…), you will be able to transform these delegate accounts into “normal” accounts, allowing your children to manage their wishlists themselves.

We will soon expand the concept of delegate accounts for children to other delegates, such as parents (if don’t have internet access), or your spouse…if he refuses to create a wishlist ;-).

We will keep you posted!
