How Do You Take The Guesswork Out of Gift Giving?
You can probably relate: Someone close to you is celebrating a milestone, like a birthday or baby shower, very soon. You’ve got the invitation pinned to the fridge, where you’re reminded every day that you still need to get a gift. Also, Christmas is coming. What will you buy all the people on your holiday list?
A dozen questions skirt through your thoughts every time you think about buying gifts:
What doesn’t she already have?
Will someone else get the same thing?
Will he even like what I get him?
How much should I spend?
What could I get her that would really rock her world?
That’s where online wish lists and gift registries come in. Online wish lists give family and friends the no-guesswork opportunity to give what’s most wanted, no matter the occasion. From housewarming gift ideas to sure-bet holiday gift giving, those who use wish lists and gift registries are more likely to get what they want, which means fewer returns or unused (read: wasted) merchandise.
But it seems like every website now offers the ability to create a wish list. Only problem is, they only support their own website. That’s what makes Gift Hero so different. You can compile one list from any store from the web, from Etsy to Amazon to your favorite local stores, for Christmas and create a different list for every occasion, including birthdays, Valentine’s Day, wedding anniversaries, and Mother’s Day.
No more dog-eared catalog pages or mobile Notes lists of the things you want. Gift Hero is an actionable wish list for things currently available for sale at all online retailers. You can add anything you want to your Gift Hero wish lists, from a Microwave Popcorn Popper sold at Uncommon Goods to a year-long coffee subscription from Mistobox. If you want it and it’s available, you can add it to your Gift Hero list!
When a gift is purchased from a Gift Hero wish list, your friend or family member can anonymously mark the item off the wish list as purchased.
If you want to take the guesswork out of gifting this holiday season, use Gift Hero to tell your family and friends what you want most. And ask them to do the same, so that you know exactly what they are wishing for, or what they really need for the new nursery. The end result — whether you’re gifting or getting — is the same: joy!
On December 1st, we’re opening up Gift Hero to friends and family. You can get on the list to be one of the first to try Gift Hero, by signing up here.
