When should I use ActiveGift?
ActiveGift comes in handy on any gift-giving occasion. It was designed for people who care about their friends and family and want to make sure that every gift they get is an honest, heartfelt gesture.
ActiveGift is perfect when you're planning to give:
- unique birthday gifts
- surprise gifts for a girlfriend or boyfriend
- just-for-fun gifts for friends
- gifts for relatives who live far from you
- personalized gifts for business partners
- gifts for people that are hard to shop for
Why would ActiveGift make me want to delete all of my other wishlists?
When you look at someone's wishlist on another service, often you'll have a hard time finding that perfect something. Either you can't picture yourself buying some items on the wishlist or they just don't feel right.
Yes, there are lots of situations when wishlists are helpful. But in most cases, they're not flexible enough for a Gift Giver who really cares.
So, why only use wishlists? Now with ActiveGift, and can use both together to narrow down the perfect gift.
And if you're a Recipient, consider yourself lucky! You've got friends that are willing to go the extra mile and use ActiveGift to find creative gifts that reflect the real you.
Keep ActiveGift in mind when you invite friends and loved ones to your next birthday gathering and you won't need those gift receipts.
